The Model Ship - Part 2247

[@bilgerat7694]

You might frustrate me Mr Margoo but it's your build and it always looks good at the end Ron.

Hi Ron, I love your channel just the way it is. I’m sure you get a ton of advice, but in all honesty, it’s refreshing seeing the trials and tribulations of your builds rather than something that is extremely polished. I started watching your channel years ago and I tune in for your charm and humor. I recently lost my mother due to dementia and your channel has always been a good distraction. Thank you

[@roncalverley]

Thanks for sharing that. I can totally understand what you mean about it being a good distraction. A few years ago when I was losing both my mother and my wife I found myself binge watching Downton Abbey over and over again. I had every episode on my computer. Helps you to escape! 👍

[@philipmarshallsay3789]

Nice one Ron be watching the build with interest

[@barryrees1863]

A new kit day is always exciting looking forward to seeing it,another good one Ron 👍

[@roncalverley]

Thanks 👍

[@michaelcavanaugh1581]

I don't know about anybody else but after watching you for the builds of the Bismarck thru the Sub I have noticed that your finished models are always a credible job. Maybe not what I would have done but the end result is fine. Also you come up with many ideas, tools and products that I now have in my shop. Keep it up I watch every day.

[@roncalverley]

Thank you Michael 👍

[@dannysnead2852]

Hey Ron, excellent episode tonight, hey congratulations on getting your Enterprise, that is going to be an awesome build, see you tomorrow for the box opening. 👍👍👍👍😀

[@roncalverley]

Yep! Box opening tomorrow. Thanks Dan 👍

[@BrianD-h9z]

Good episode, Ron. Can't wait for the unboxing. I will be comparing your 1/200 Enterprise to my 1/350 one, just out of curiosity. 1/350 is the largest scale ship model that I build.. at least for now. Since getting back into modeling 2 years ago, I've acquired a bit of a stash. Anyway, I mentioned to my wife that I might want to try a 1/200 ship. She said, "You want a larger one???!!! Why stop at 1/200. Get a full sized model, build it, and then you can take your stash and other stuff and move into it!!" 🤣🤣 Needless to say, I will be sticking with 1/350 for now. 😁😁😁 Have a great evening and I will see you tomorrow!!!🙂

[@roncalverley]

Hi Brian. There's nothing wrong with 1/350 scale! There's a lot of choice out there that's for sure. Much more than 1/200 👍

[@BrianD-h9z]

@roncalverley Yes, there is a large choice of 1/350, that's for sure. I really have been eyeing that Trumpeter 1/200 Titanic, though. I built the old 1/350 Entex one (which I believe is the same kit you built... correct?). My skills are a lot better now, so I would kinda another shot at it... we'll see, though. Thanks, Ron.👍

[@garyleblanc2170]

Hi Ron, good episode, its great to see you pick up your Enterprise kit. Anxious to see what's in the box! See you tomorrow. 😊😁

[@roncalverley]

Hi Gary, We'll look in the box tomorrow. 🤞

[@pebblecreekmodels]

Great episode tonight Ron. Congratulations on getting your Enterprise. I think i will definitely have to do a box opening now for sure lol. Enjoy staring at that box, i know i stared at the Uboat for quite some time yesterday. Take care n see you tomorrow. Btw. I believe i picked up the same kit you’re working on.

[@roncalverley]

😁👍

[@gregpenny206]

My dog piper watches with me. She loves it when missy comes on. Goes bonkers.

[@roncalverley]

Hi *"Piper"* 🐶👍

[@soppdrake]

Hehe, "Does my hair look ok?" 👴 You still got it, Ron! 🕺

[@roncalverley]

😁👍

[@barry-clark]

Hi Ron, Good to see you have a stash again! 🙂 Have a good evening.

[@roncalverley]

Yes! Finally! Thanks 👍

[@jcgabis5546]

OH BOY! New kit! : )

[@roncalverley]

😁

[@aussiefrenchman-hobbytable9960]

Hi Ron, yep paint the wire grey lol sounds familiar 😊! But when you don’t know, it looks normal, I’ve been watching 1/16 Amour builds lately, the details in those models is over the top , working hatches , even welds! At the end, half of the details you’ll never see , just like those wires 😊😊😊😊! A box opening , tomorrow, looking forward to it 😊😊😊😊see you tomorrow

[@roncalverley]

Hi marc, Yes, there is no question about it! Some of those models are detailed absolutely beautifully. You would need a super macro to find a flaw. I'm afraid that's not my cup of tea! I can appreciate it, but I can't do it. See you tomorrow for the box opening. 🤞

[@Tootall-jk3em]

Thank you for sharing

[@roncalverley]

Thanks for watching!

[@marklivingstone3710]

Will the torpedo tube ‘doors’ be visible from the other side? If so they’ll need painting too. Just a thought.

[@roncalverley]

Hi Mark, Yes, I painted both sides 👍

[@LUC66631]

Hey Ron , you can get a 1000 tips still it is YOURE build and can do whatever you feel like doing to it , like they say : everybody got a suggestion and that is just what it is . Just keep building . 😁😁👍👍

[@roncalverley]

Thanks for the tip 😁

[@martinpedley7595]

Hi Ron,don't have that outer door open on the tube that's open on the inside or boats gonna sink !!!😂😂

[@roncalverley]

Haha! 😁

[@michaelcavanaugh1581]

Good show today, I believe I would just glue the torpedo doors closed on the painted side and maybe consider opening them on the clear side

[@roncalverley]

Good thought! We'll see! 👍

[@kevinwaterman389]

Ron we tied the Record high temperature of 55 degree Fahrenheit going all the way back to 1896. 😎 Our average temperature should be 28 degrees. Our record low for today was -27 back in 1966. 🥶

[@roncalverley]

Spring is coming! 😁

[@JimE6243]

19:00 Oh, how I miss that! See ya. JimE

[@roncalverley]

I'll bet you do, haha! 👍

[@LUC66631]

It is just plain money grabbing to need to take a picture EVERY 5 years , in the age of digitalization they can it all have on file . And they do not coming to tell me that youre face change that much in 5 years that you not look just the same as the previous picture . 🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@Jan-hx9rw]

Meh... really a non-issue. I have to get a new driver's license in my state every 4 years, and the cost is the same whether they take a new photo or not, whether I renew by mail, on-line, or in person at the Registry.

[@roncalverley]

There was no extra charge.
