rocky folley so I found a picture of what the rigging was roughly planned for and used that. I didn’t have much other luck.

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

rocky folley in one of my Arizona videos, towards the end of the build I think I show the image and where I found it. I think it was a navy reference site of sorts. Sorry I don’t know where exactly I found it at off the top of my head.

[@NicolaMs007]

One thing I have noticed is that when watching these build videos, is with airbrushing you get a more even tone across the painting process than you would with painting by brush as with brush painting you can see each brush stroke, which would ruin the painting process unless you're doing weathering..... I haven't used airbrush before, but after seeing lot of model builders using it....and thinking bout using an air brush for all model builds unless i have to use a brush in areas where it would be needed....with the aurbrush WOW!! the finish more realistic and professional. Thanks for the build on the Missouri (Mighty Mo) she really is coming a long great cant wait to see the final build.

[@slackjaw703]

Really? People skip to the end and miss the whole point of enjoying this amazing channel? I feel a bit sorry for them. Look forward to more of this awesome detailed modeling in 2020! Awesome channel!

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Yeah... sometimes people complain that there is "too" much talking.

[@donnicoll1570]

I agree with John as it is fantastic seeing this monster evolve. Why skip to the end ????

@@TheMidwestModelShop Looking at your Arizona were you are talking about crew figures. Have you considered Z Scale figures. A lot of them are listed at 1/200th

@@TheMidwestModelShop Your channel is outstanding, and I enjoy your historical information...Not bad for an AF guy! Navy vet, but USAF brat ( Dad was retired USAF Maj./pilot WW2, Korea )

[@127TROOP]

I get so immersed in each subsection build that I forget just how BIG this beast is....that last shot of the work you did and then fitted to he overall model really puts its total size in to context....fantastic work to date, and enjoying watching each video, really giving me the incentive to continue building my 1/72 VII C41 U-boat ( platinum edition....Aka.....PE city!) keep at it buddy, a build to be proud of..👏🏻👏🏻

[@nautibearsboatyard1242]

That’s a lot of tiny PE that looks amazing! You make it look so easy!

[@ShionWinkler]

The two things stinking out of the rear direction finder is the range finder, it used triangulation to determine the range to something, the rubberized cloth was there because the two pieces had to be able to move in and out to get the range.

[@mikenottis6252]

Richard Charbonneau you are wrong. The canvas is to allow the optics to move up and down, to compensate for the pitch and roll of the ship. There is a gyro in IC Plot that send corrections to the director and to all the 5" 38 guns.

[@B1900pilot]

The "cranes" are 5" loading trainers. The baskets typically held nets with floats on them...

[@bazzeralone]

Fantastic detail it looks really good, the size of some of the pieces is terrific. Can’t wait to see the next video, great job. Barry

[@mccollomadam]

Hey Ben nice work! One thing I'll share is I do metal earth models from time to time and I've found different size magnets I'll use small ones and attach it to the parts sheet before I cut the piece out! It usually never goes flying. But if it does I use bigger magnets to sweep the floor sweeping in a grid, I've pulled the smallest peices out of carpet, you can hear it click to the magnet! Hope this helps

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Nice! That’s a great idea.

[@mrnibiru5925]

You do awesome work. Way better than I did on my Missouri.

[@jeffhardick]

In a word...holywhatthewow!!!....that is some very tiny detail...I am surprised that your not wearing "pop bottle bottom" glasses by now Ben...once again,fantastic work...can't wait to see the finished product in the new year. Happy New Year to ya bud

[@georgedistel1203]

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that launches photo etch parts to another dimension. I have only done that in 1/350 scale stuff and am currently working on an Alaska class . Hopefully one day I will get caught up enough to try one of those.

[@hyaladoesart]

looking great so far

[@scottself3787]

Looking awesome... there is some nice details in that radar deck!! Keep rolling brother!

[@brianfoster7064]

Those mounts that look like telescopes are for lookouts. They are huge. Today, we use binoculars that are used from similar mounts. Typically, they're stored when not in use.

[@andrestlaurent1764]

Keep em coming dude! This whole build has been great! Well done! I hope your channel keeps growing!

[@johannesflood5485]

Been watching since episode one but first time taking my time to write anything. Just want to say very well done sir and thanks for sharing this impressive build with others. Big Mo is indeed coming alive nicely and that's obviously due to your hard work throughout this build. Oh, watch out for the carpet monster, heard it loves brass :o

[@michaelshort7297]

Well done sir! I'm living vicariously through you on this build, I'm looking forward to the next installment. Happy New Year!

[@kasyu1101]

the fire control tower rotates with the turrets to get a range and bearing on the target, and will track the target as it moves to keep the guns firing.

[@Sauske2101]

Brilliant work sir!!!! cheers!

[@kasyu1101]

those 'pivots' are actually the rangefinders for the ship's guns.

[@jeffreycohn3941]

Really loved this installment. In future ones, could you show the actual construction of the section you are working on, i.e. prepping the pieces, adding the PE, etc? Seeing your techniques would be very informative.

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Yeah I can try and do that. Maybe when I work on the funnel. It will have to be on a section that isn't too complicated because the video ends up being really long. I "try" to max out at 20 minutes right now. But I can do that. Any maybe I'll try and include some comments on my "thought process" as I tackle things. Thanks for the comment!

[@jeffreycohn3941]

The Midwest Model Shop that would be great. Thanks so much!

Have you seen the 1/200 Hornet? I have only seen one review, with a nice photo etch set, in Russian. I'd love to see that kit in your hands.

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

GhostofCicero I would love to see it in my hands too. I’ve seen it for sale a few times....and I may pick it up because it looks like it’s shorter than the MO and would be easier to work with.

[@staticclutch9932]

Just found your channel and have been enjoying your content. It appears the majority of the ships you build are battleships. Just curious if you are going to build the trumpeter 1/200 titanic that is being released soon, possibly as a future project.

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

I would like, too. In fact I’ve thought about it a lot, but I have a long ways to go on this build still. And....they “say” the Titanic is coming out very soon... but they have been saying that for the last several months. I’ll grab one when they hit the shelves.

[@staticclutch9932]

The Midwest Model Shop awesome! looking forward to that when the time comes also excited to see the Missouri completed.

How would the UV activated dental cement workout?

[@NicolaMs007]

what did you use for the wash, it's looks pretty good. 😊😊

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Vallejo Model Wash for grey vehicles. It’s a black wash.

[@scumdogg8840]

That is truly incredible! Had no idea they made models this ridiculously detailed! You guys have serious patience and hand control. Do you take these to shows or do these go in a navy museum?

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Well, right now they are just on display in my house. I would like to take them to a modeling show sometime. But I gotta have those days off work, first!

[@thakrak]

So you workshop's floor is like some kind of blackhole which will make disappear any piece that happens to drop there?

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

That is correct.

[@brianfoster7064]

RADAR mesh, dishes, etc. are black. Don't know why, but that's how they were painted. Only domes and flat panels on modern ships are ship matching gray.

[@michaelgoings9223]

Hey man great work great work when do you start the trumpeter kit for the Mighty Mo

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

This is the trumpeter kit for the Mo.

[@BumbleBee-kg5ig]

Looks great but the box that will be next to the stack is backwards.

I double checked the instructions a few times before installing it. I’ll take a look at the reference photos to be sure!

[@haydendill6288]

looking good

[@pashamodelline530]

Super! Happy New Year!!!

[@yoyospecs]

I’ve got a question that’s not entirely related to this build. Have you ever built any of the Great White Fleet ships from the late 1800’s and if so what colors did you use for the deck, main gun turrets and super structure? I’m a ship in bottle builder currently working on the USS Maine ACR-1 and having trouble finding the right colors. Thanks and I really enjoy the videos of your builds!!

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Nope. I have considered building them, but never put any more effort into it than that. I’m sure there is a “ .gov” site out there that has the official colors listed.

[@irontank1956]

Basically they were cargo nets with cork floats .

[@lucaslagiglia]

Hi when you add the ladder rungs, do you poke holes in the actual model or do you just glue them? Also can you glue the brass pieces together with normal cement or do I have to buy something special?

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

In the next few episodes I show in detail how to install the ladder rungs. You will need CA glue. Regular glue will not hold the brass together.

[@lucaslagiglia]

The Midwest Model Shop Thanks! I am getting ready to build my own 1/200 Missouri model next month so sorry if it seems like I’m bombarding you with questions. Do you use a specific brand of CA glue and what brand of paint do you use to get those crisp colors?

[@wewuzkangz4723]

@@TheMidwestModelShop Yeah you telling us about having to fill gaps with puddy and sand them is soooooo helpful. You mean models don't fit perfectly and you have to make adjustments? I never would've imagined. Incredible insight you're putting out there you clown shoe. Real model channels do this amazing thing called editing where they dub their commentary in while you watch them make adjustments and solve issues they dont film themselves crying about every little thing with zero progress being made on the project. Literally all your videos are is just cutting from one clip of you bitching to the next clip of you bitching. Oh and your little updates where you drone on and on for the first 3 to 5 minutes of every video suck too. Pull your head out of your ass and take a look around youtube to see how good builders do things and maybe your channel won't be shit

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Don’t watch it then, Bro. I know these things are hard to understand.

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Since making starting this channel I have always formatted it the same way. The point it to share potential pitfalls with other builder and present solutions. But I realize that being helpful escapes some minds.

[@wewuzkangz4723]

People watch these channels to see the process and pick up tips from people actually showing the process of building the model. You don't show any of the actual building process. The only thing thats commendable is you put effort into attention to detail

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Cashper Da Gahd 2K the next video is actually going to show the building process because I have had many request for it. I don’t normally do that because I assume the viewer knows how to glue things together already. I have a format that I like and it’s the way I do things. If you don’t like it, just don’t watch it. I’m not changing for anyone. I also have a full time job which means I don’t have to cater my channel to one person’s (or group’s) whims. It blows my mind how difficult it is for people like you to choose what to watch and not watch on KZbin. Anything else I can help you with?

[@lusty444]
