HUGE 45 Inch Sophie's Revenge Pirate Ship 25mm Gaming Model Kit Review Reaper Miniatures Bones 5

[@crashdive100]

HOLY COW!!! Dude, you GOTTA show us a video of the build, even if it's severely trimmed down for time! I wanna see this beauty finished! Even if you do it over a few months and then surprise us! Sheesh, that's amazing.

[@hpiguy]

Will do!!

[@davidhinkson8856]

The level of detail on this is PHENOMENAL! It'll look really great when the paint brings out all that intricate molding that has gone into it. Truly an epic project.

[@hpiguy]

I agree!

[@TheBatman-1989]

Damn, this is gonna look so awesome when done! I have a 21" Black Pearl model kit that I haven't gotten around to yet.

[@hpiguy]

It was one of the times where the expectations were exceeded when the box was opened. Amazing kit.

[@ii_martinlaw6615]

Awesome a pirate ship. This reminds me of that Chinese boat that Chris built, and this a good looking model and that thing is HUGE!

[@hpiguy]

A yes the RC ship, that was a blast!

[@darrelld.paveyjr.1477]

Hello Hpiyguy, I am still a long Hair. You figured it out before you read this. But the magnet set masts are for ease of play. You put them on for "Sailing" and take them off for moving the gaming miniatures during "Combat" on deck. The Stain glass windows is a great idea. The ship plays well my group shared the cost and it is fantastic for realism. Thank You Darrell

At 5:00 The things with the ropes look like outhaul tackle on a carronade gun mount.

[@Mishn0]

I agree, there's a heavy line that goes from ring bolts in the bulwark to the knob on the breech end of the gun, the 'cascabel', that stops the recoil of the gun when fired called the 'breeching line', and then the 'outhaul tackle' is used to pull the gun back into battery after it's reloaded. It looks a little oversized but I think it's perfect for the application. (gaming)

[@ianmunslow5675]

That looks amazing as it is let alone when it’s painted and weathered , thanks foe sharing Chris

[@hpiguy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Awesome kit , and the wood grain is going to look so good when painted . Very nice .

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@maryfiltz800]

This is a huge ship - looks really detailed too.

[@hpiguy]

Ilove it!

[@MoonwalkerModels]

Man, that thing is freaking awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

😲😲😲😲. Great review. Thanks for sharing Chris.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@eamonnhaddon5105]

the famous words spoken by Crocodile Dundee how this is a ship.👍👍👍😄😄

[@hpiguy]

LOL I'd love to see a model of his back country truck some day, I loved that thing!

[@RockinL7BuckingBulls]

Nice kit but you my friend have motivated me to break out my CSS Alabama model . Been in the stash for 30 years.

[@hpiguy]

Go for it!

[@richardlee1092]

Thanks for sharing! Amazing looking ship. Will look awesome when you finish it out with your techniques. You sound like a kid at Christmas, it’s fun to have a hobby! Arrrgh! 🏴‍☠️⚓️

[@hpiguy]

Thanks 👍

[@ronroberts2453]

Really awesome, thanks for sharing Chris!!

[@hpiguy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@michaelcooke2559]

With 4 videos this week, you are spoiling us.

[@hpiguy]

LOL, kick back and enjoy!

[@randysheetz690]

I would love to see these guys do other ships, be they old sailing ships, or steam powered ships, or modern ones. I can just picture what their version of Titanic or Quen Anne's Revenge or Jacques Custeau's ship would look like.

[@Djmeeple]

Super great review. Love this ship. Some people dont like the material but I say it doesnt bother me at all. It's too cool. I think the parts you were asking about are the rope and pulley system that runs out the guns so they stick out the fire holes. Another awesome video.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you!

[@roberthomicz6552]

Pirate Ship remind me the movie The Goonies 1985

[@hpiguy]

Yeah!

[@charlesmcclure5994]

I'm not into gaming but that would make a one heck of a static display especially if you build a base using scope to mold and plaster and painted it like it was going to the ocean the wave effects it would be a sweet display piece 👍👍

[@hpiguy]

"We're gonna need a bigger shelf."

[@aries-3536]

Pile on guys: Who wants to see Chris build this beauty...... I'm first, YES,

[@hpiguy]

LOL, it will get built, I just don't know when.

[@aries-3536]

@@hpiguy Just ment as a joke Sir. Anyway at your leisure as you are a very busy at the best of times. Take care.

[@rsaturn9]

That's a great Pirate Ship!!

[@taskmaster58]

Those things that they tie the ropes to at 4:18-4:23 are called belaying pins.

[@nategoalbevazin1387]

I had not known this, and was wondering this very thing. Thanks for informing us. I was a Merchant Marine, and I'm familiar with a lot of sea talk but not too much with Sailing Ships. It's a fascinating thing man!

[@royn7093]

Belaying pins mounted in the pin rails/racks

[@hpiguy]

Thanks, the name escaped me.

[@laurentbouveyron5362]

Good model top

[@hpiguy]

It is!

[@joeshmoe9978]

Neat project 👍

[@hpiguy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@modelmantstewart1292]

Looks very interesting

[@hpiguy]

It is!

[@aries-3536]

Sir, In all the time i have been watching your video's i have never seen you so enthusiastic about a kit. Question to you Sir is: When you going to bite the bullet and build it. Hey as others have done kits and taken take 12 months or what ever, but deep down "You gotta build it." With your enthusiasm and expertise it will be amazing to see the finished product. DO IT.....

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@MGB-learning]

Great video

[@maccustoms2295]

Imo I'd leave the warpage depending we're it's at wood warps over time in the real world just saying. Looks like a great kit not into it for the gaming but would definitely pick one of these up great video thanks for sharing. Have a great week.

[@hpiguy]

Right on!

[@noelmorris5807]

thats cool im deflate getting one

[@hpiguy]

Enjoy!

[@noelmorris5807]

will there be a painting video

[@Merylstreep1949]

Sophie's Revenge, the less successful follow-up to Sophie's Choice lol, gotta get this kit just for the name lol

[@hpiguy]

LOL, oh boy!

[@lordlord9797]

these are back up for sale till october gonna get the glow in the dark ship too

[@davidpayne4315]

Pretty cool

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@davidparker2259]

Don’t quote me on it, but I think those pins in the racks for wrapping the sail ropes are belaying pins. If that’s correct, that concludes my nautical knowledge. If I’m wrong, I know nothing, which is probably closer to the truth.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks David!

[@daleseibert9454]

The music at the end of the video is amazing. What is the name of the group.

[@jeffoutlaw3457]

That's cool

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@vett2]

Looks like a really nice kit but why do you keep referring it as gaming

[@nategoalbevazin1387]

This has to do with Tabletop role playing games, such as Pathfinder and Dungeons and Dragons.

[@hpiguy]

Yes, like Nathan said these are designed and primarily used for tabletop role playing games. I LOVE the figures and dragons and ships, so I just buy them to paint up as models.

[@TheMonyarm]

I was unable to support the kickstarter, and now I won't be able to buy this cause scalpers.

[@hpiguy]

It will be for sale in approx 12 months or so, regular retail. Any games shop should be able to get it for you then.

[@redhog1arkie395]

Where can i buy this kit?

[@nategoalbevazin1387]

Fantastic review! I have a couple of these, guilty pleasure here, HAHAHAHAHAA, I got the glow in the dark version as well. I hope to be streaming a video of it on twitch, I am albevazin on there if you wanna check it out. I love your videos and watch them often! Keep up the good work! Anyone curious about what GAMING is, we are talking about Tabletop Role Playing Games that involves miniatures and scale terrain and equipment to make the gaming experience more realistic and fun! Enjoy the hobby yall!!!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching!

[@ethanreis217]

You sound Canadian

[@hpiguy]

Upper Midwest, so yup, close enough to Canada for the accent.
