There is something about WW1 and WW2 ships that are just romantic and stylish. Modern ones still look badass but they feel like some kind of a streamlined soulless machines.

[@screeny30]

yes, you are right. I think the same way. Especially Japanese ships of that time look somehow "romantic" - I really love them

[@memetasticvondank131]

*Japanese ships do really give off that kind of feeling...*

[@switch_lp1302]

Yes modern warships are rly boring

[@switch_lp1302]

I would love to see a comeback of these not so clean ship designs

[@vasili1207]

Why stop there let's all remove our car wheels and push the body around on logs its slower but more romantic...... push faster love we are only doing two logs a minute.... we are almost at McDonald's

[@dusanbolek8004]

Those 1/700 planes on aircraft carriers are always killing me. They are like human faces, no matter how small they are, any imperfections on them are still very visible on a finalized model and painting them properly in this scale is no easy task even for nimble hands. You have nailed them 100 % though.

[@michaelmartin9022]

I wanted to get into modelling and bought a bunch of planes modelled in transparent plastic, so I could leave the cockpits unpainted and have them "see through"... ish. Then I just sold everything.

Akagi was from the start too be a Battelcruiser in the Amagi class. But under the buildt she redesigned and buildt to a CV. Ps. What an amazing buildt with so many details and with that ocean, it's just stunning.

The detail in this 1/700 build is so surreal I kind of miss some personel and cockpit interior :-) No, honestly, Mr. Scaleaton - This is unreal! Such work and patience with fantastic result. The still shots are just wow too!

I would have loved to have seen one of these carriers as a museum ship, studied the internal layout, learned what daily life was like aboard.

[@labschi]

The more videos I'm watching the more I've to laugh about my first steps in modeling: I built a ship model and put it on my window sill :D Okay, that was over 20 years ago ... Amazing model and scenery! The only thing I would have added would be smoke from the large exhaust openings at the side :)
