Awesome🎉 congrats

What a wild accomplishment! Congratulations! I’m not sure AH had any playtesters that could honestly say the same. Enjoy your next few unpublicized plays!

Great questions Cal. I think you hit the nail on the head about playing this complete. It's rare to see a monster game completed by anyone, and this one can really stretch that idea. Excited to see you take a shot of some of the lighter games.

Cutler starts the game at a strength of 16. They pick up the remainder at 5:00pm on 1 July.

Great explanation 2K - very clear.

you mean 0.9 = 1 tick mark

Looks good Cal! Hope your holiday was good. ✌️

Ive never been huge on it but the build is lookin good Cal. 👍 hope all is well for you buddy. I will try to catchup on chat again soon. Somebody asked me about a special video chat for Boyd and i replied but havent heard back on anything definite. Michael Scarola asked. He used to be in Boyd's model shop lives. He mentioned Armando and Heath Thompkins too.

So going through this kit (for the second time in a week) lots of soldering iron and wiring problems.... i don't remember any problems in 75, but the problem is the plastic seems to be disintegrating. I would say the best way is to use orange testors and a hot soldering iron if necessary to assemble. It now has become a mission to keep it together, as it practically fell apart upon final assembly lol. (As you said) the only tip i have is it's not a "snap together kit !!!! Use glue, and maybe youll have less problems! 😅 EDIT....SILICONE spay quited down the noise significantly. Not giving up lol

what am i watching

do you know what the difference is between the 1975,1977 ,and 1983 versions of the kit?

I'm not sure that running the motor with that cogwheel wobbling in the upper right hand corner is a good idea. I realize this was 5 years ago, but I would have removed the motor assembly to troubleshoot why that cogwheel is wobbly and reassemble it. Otherwise, by constantly running it could produce uneven wear on the shaft on either side of the cogwheel and reduce the lifespan of the motor and further possibly contribute to motor fatigue depending on how often you run the motor. Otherwise, nice job.

Very cool diorama! You need an Ape action figure standing by it, trying to shoot it down with a clip of bullets. Or some block and tackle mini ropes hanging from it.

Why did you paint the bottom black? That should be a dark red. They called the paint copperoyd.

Nice work

Nice update, good building tips :)

Really neat buddy, will be watching :)

They make the Graf Zeppelin big at 1/245 scale in plastic but they don't make the Hindenburg big in plastic.

What an elegant airship she was, and such a nice build. Thanks for sharing her with us.

I have both, the Revell kit is for display, the lindberg kit is to MOTORIZE. IM PLACING AN RC SYSTEM IN MY LINDBERG. 👍

Cool kit. I enjoyed hearing the history of the ship. Thanks. Enjoy the build. Bill

She came out really nice buddy.

Sorry for the late arrival to this build. I've never done a paper model before. Interesting. Have fun 🎉. Bill

You are making some great progress with this build. This is so cool

Looking great!! 👍😎👍

Looking very good! 👍😎👍

Turned out nice! 👍😎👍

Where do you get tge model

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, or if you figured later, but strength at entry was for Davis. Others use printed strength

AMT re-tooled the motorized version , hence the single screw, and rudder. It was to simplify the option of motorizing your kit, which was popular in the 60’s and 70’s with many model manufacturers, Tamiya in particular.

Merry Christmas! 🎅🤶🎄☃️

The lifeboats look pretty good

The lifeboats turned out great

Nice work

Some lithium grease will cut that noise down a lot.

Its some tedious work but it will be well worth the effort in the end. Good luck with this... I'll be following

A paper model, well you got my attention. I've done a few paper kits on my channel over the years. This is awesome!

Was it difficult to get the decals off the transfer sheet?

'Promo SM'

Could use some grease on the cogs ⚙️

Looking fantastic so far! Very neat little project! 👍😎👍

That is really neat! I can't wait to see what you do with that! 👍😎👍

Check out the guy who made the blue devil into an rc boat.

Highly interesting! Happy Halloween my friend! 👍🎃👍

Hi there. So looking into getting the USS Ranger done as well. Sadly not many models of it out there. But you say the same molds for Saratoga could work? Thanks.

If its a doomsday device theres no sense in making a rocket out of it - does it matter where it explodes if it is going to kill everyone anyway? Why bother with a delivery mechanism?

Great quote....Going out to sea changes people.

Sailing ship models are so involved. You're doing a great job. 👍 Bill

Making good progress. A little narrating on your work would be nice to hear. Bill

She's looking pretty spiffy there buddy.
