The only mistake here is coloring the captain cabin and stern lamp gold. Please do more research, it's not gold, it's an oxidized copper which has the same color as statue of liberty

I aspire to build one of these just like you did. Could just watch these all day. How did you glue the wire?

What make of varnish do you recommend ? The make and sheen ?

I wish more model companies would make models like this kit.

Excellent work

What tools did you use to be able to bend the wires so accurately?

Hi Tom, What colours were used to paint the wings and fuselage of the F-86F SABRE please?

Wow! I mean WOW! Fantastic... Thanks

Possibly one of the best modelling videos in the world!

Hey Tom! This work is incredible I’m in the process of building one of these kits for an artistic project and want to upgrade some of the parts like yours. Would you mind sharing where you got your rigging prints from and cannons? Or if you own the file do you share it?

Man that’s alot of patience. I’m nearly done building this kit how you make it look so quick. Well done man.

My question is simple why cant you use original material such as duralumin or aluminium steel?

My favourite part 1:46

Скажите, пожалуйста, какая длина корпуса без бушприта?

The sails! And all of that rigging in your usual magical approach. This ship and diorama are absolutely stunning. Thanks for making such a wonderful set of videos.

Amazing watching you work. So much detail and skills needed to make this a masterpiece.

Wow ,great video, even better model ,your a fantastic modeler Tom well done looks incredible, can we have more videos PLEASE 😊

Love it ❤

Finally, a wood and metal model, I prefer wood, metal, and glass materials for windows, and every part of the model isn't plastic, it's actual made of real materials almost like they'd like use for the real aircraft. It just would look so cool to see a fully detailed aluminum with a detailed cockpit and interior B-17, or just any 1930s-40s aircraft.

Enchanted

very cool.

It goes without saying that what you build is incredible. The video and the stop motion also adds to the viewing pleasure. Thanks for sharing your amazing work. You are an inspiration to all modellers

You are inspiring one more time !

Breathtaking stuff, Tom. I've missed you, despite being a longterm subscriber. Not notified for some reason. Anyway - great pleasure to see your work again. Many thanks. Tom (from France).

Amazing work...

Tom you get better and better I didn’t think you could absolutely feckin stunning 👌😎☕️ a 100 💯👍🏻from me

Lots of helpful techniques being offered in these episodes. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for making me not wonna build mine ever..... hahaha joke aside. Thats crazy amazing work. Well done matey 👏👏👏

Very nice

That’s incredible work man

My god! Award winning again... The sheer amount of craftsmanship and creativity... unparalleled!

Wow, beeindruckend 🤩🤘 Ich arbeite auch am selben Modell und bin seit Stunden mit der Takelasche beschäftigt 😩. Eine Frage… welchen Maßstab haben Sie für die Figur verwendet? 1/72 ? Ich möchte mein Schiff auch bemannen und bin mir unsicher ob der Maßstab richtig ist !?

Ah,... Scheise!... Wie schön! Und die Musik passt ideal!

I understand the need for keeping viewers interested by not having really boring long drawn out building segments, but sometimes the speed it up stuff is not good either like you can't really see what you're doing. I would suggest maybe for me and this is only speaking for myself, I would prefer some more slowed down parts where I could actually see what it is you're doing because some of it goes by so fast, you can't really see what you are doing anyways I appreciate that as someone who has done animation, you are doing amazing work with your videos. Keep it up.

Bazinga III" ! Amazing, master! Just amazing!

Amazing, master! Bazinga II!

Amazing, master! Bazinga1

6:14 Captain Jack Sparrow!

Just wonderful!

le résultat est superbe, j'adore l'originalité du diorama, bravo!

Tom, ein sehr schönes Video. Die Takelage ist Dir super gelungen, die Segel sehen absolut realistisch aus. Das Dio ist ein (nicht kleines) Meisterwerk. Tolle Handwerkskunst.

Everything looks easy when an expert does it… amazing work and Greetings from sweden

Random comment to push this masterpiece higher in the algorithm 😊

Only one Word - bravo!!!

Incredible work as always

Absolutely outstanding Tom. It scarcely seems possible considering previous projects but you’ve excelled yourself with the rigging on this one. As ever, thank you for allowing us to follow your journey.

Great work! As usual... :)

Went to a naval history museum recently, and THIS model is better than anything I saw there. Also noted that in the museum the older exhibits are typically more detailed, more precise & better finished than modern ones. Thinking also of the historic times these full size rigs were made and used, the astonishing complexity of rigging - which was organised by men with only muscle power & spoken orders, no cranes, no computers. Plus in this case the other context being movies with big budgets & 1000s of talented crew... But THIS is just one guy!? I'd like to know Tom's daily routine, what he has for breakfast, etc. I need some of that creative genius & relentless perseverance!!

Pure genius combined with artistry, imagination and superb dexterity. 👍👍👍
