Total Kitbashing - Hobby Boss 1/700 USS Arizona Part2

[@zxbzxbzxb1]

The USS Magic Sculpt looks great :)

[@antonytheocharidis9576]

Absolutely amazing work. I've never seen a kit go from "garbage" to "masterpiece" like this before. You truly deserve congratulations

[@mr.turnerx7615]

I got back into models after a 40 year hiatus, love the hobby as much now as I did as a youngster. Channels like yours are priceless for helping me ! Thank you!

[@steves8482]

Same! Eyesight not as good though...

[@EbroinSong]

I am glad that my channel is helpful to you! Enjoy your hobby life!

[@emphopho]

This isn't a model build, its a re-modelling build, and a damn fine one also!. Kudos for going that extra mile, and make the Arizona shine again!.

[@hawrermctez]

Aside from the sublime modelling skills, The video quality, style, pace, music selection... the entire package makes this channel one of the finest available. Thank you Ebroin!

[@voodoonights1671]

What a difference to the poor kit that came out of the box. Thanks again for all the work that went into the model and the video and for sharing.

[@Blockio1999]

Holy shit, your work is out of this world. Truly a master of your craft.

[@channelsixtysix066]

This is like seeing a watchmaker ply his trade. The level of detail is amazing.

[@darknut9696]

That World of Warships sound track is great

[@PirateWorld1]

I can see how much the deck and PE set help, I must say watching you fix this horrible kit is pretty satisfying.

[@rik4010]

I think you can make the ship completely from scratch. Great nice work... respect👍

[@stephenkiebzak8283]

You’re an artist and very talented. Can’t wait for your videos.

[@silverdragontm9548]

"Breathtaking" awesome... you're one of the most talented scratchbuilders I know!

[@sirlevine538]

Coincidentally, you started this series while I was working on my own hobby boss Arizona. I've found your videos incredibly helpful with my kit.

[@lesm2391]

Same but mines 1/350 and still not great

[@hewlett-packardlovecraft2297]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and say there's probably about 50% of the original kit left- and most of that appears to be the hull. I've had problems with Hobby Boss kits before, but nothing like this example here. You are a real trooper, getting her in to the shape she's in now. Superlative sculpting skills, as always; that toothpick never ceases to amaze me. Enjoy your coming week.

[@klonik79]

probably less than 50% hobby boss has same issue as trumpeter, they have three teams that do molds. Team A, that makes high quality models on par or better with other companies, Team B that makes models in about same quality as 1970's to mid 1980's revell ... Cheap supermarket shelf quality ... And than there is Team Janitors that makes models like these or worse

[@hewlett-packardlovecraft2297]

@@klonik79 Well, hell- I never knew that. Would've been good information to have around in the past. Buyer beware, as the saying goes. Thanks for the heads up, and have a good one.

[@anthonyhayes1267]

It's sorta like the 1930s Italian battleship rebuilds in that regard

[@andrymodels]

Great job. The hand of the master is felt👍

[@rockstarJDP]

Has anyone ever told you you'd make a great surgeon? 😅 those are some steady hands and keen eyesight you've got there, grand job 👏

[@Straswa]

Wow! You are amazing. Incredible work.

[@jaanikaapa6925]

I'm glad you agreed with my naming recommendation.. :) Watching now. Watched: incredible work!

[@IsKor06]

You absolute madman. What a staggering amount of work!

[@grumble9160]

Truly inspiring work my friend you have an incredible talent there. Well done

[@angrymi-24v38]

You are a legend, turning a simply Bulls*it kit into its best form as it deserves

[@usssaratogacv3lefevre978]

Your skills are over the top. Amazing work.

[@gunarskonrads]

Amazing as expected!!! Fine job.

[@georgedistel1203]

Nerves of steel I didn't see those hands shaking one bit, you must live a clean life sir. Excellent work , I have been thinking that as bad as it was to start with and as many modifications as you had to make this could have been converted to the USS Nevada a very forgotten ship from the same era.

[@andreferro4618]

I feel proud of you. That's pure joy for me when I notice that you feel happy doing with your gift what you are supposed to! That's a privilege to watch you performing. Greetings from Brazil.

[@EbroinSong]

Thank you always. =)

[@andreferro4618]

@@EbroinSong My pleasure!

[@M31292]

You truly are the master of Magic-Sculpt! I really hope Magic-Sculpt endorse you in some way. Now, the ship looks gorgeous and it is almost a shame to hide all the tedious and beautiful work with paint. Looking forward to the next video already!

[@astolbro7183]

Dude that's amazing thank you for showing this to us

[@glenflanderka6504]

Great work. Wish I had your skill with magic sculpt. Your work with the ships ladders looks effortless. I know from personal experience it isn’t. Looking forward to seeing the completed ship. Good luck with the masking.

[@yvc9]

Haha wow blitz ambiance music.....nice touch!.

[@petriL21]

my friend you have amazing skill for this :D greetings from Finland o7

[@allanrichards3752]

This is such a good build turning a really rough kit into a superb model. You are so good with that sculpting putty. I would really struggle using that stuff.

[@pandaphil]

All I can say is, WTF Hobby Boss?! I admire your determination.

[@mikehendon7327]

It's effectively a re-sized Revell kit. If you've ever done a Revell kit, this will explain EVERYTHING wrong with this mess.

[@SprueFascinationChannel]

Very nice progress 👍

[@peterkemna1008]

Ich habe ja schon viele gute Modellbauer gesehen. Aber sie übertreffen alles. Ich denke nur an die Tirpitz. Soviele Details..... Dann hier die Arizona. Unglaublich.. Ich persönlich komme in keinster Weise an ihr Können heran. Ich gratuliere ihnen zu so tollen Modellen

[@54tisfaction]

Watching the first part, I kept thinking "What a terrible model, maybe it would be faster if he just scratch built the whole ship..." And here we are. 😁

[@leonardosgood7819]

You've got way more patience than I do.

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

That was one of Your finest performances, despite fact that all were fine. All the best for You! ;)

[@jdmodels1968]

Outstanding work.

[@rickbourn971]

Extraordinary talents!!

[@Orinslayer]

You just performed complete reconstructive surgery on that model XD

[@genek8630]

I found out having an old model that's basically a piece of crap and turning it into "respectable" build can be very satisfying. That being said, I wouldn't want to do it with all my models. Sometimes it's nice to just build a kit out of the box with only a few additional details. My hats off to you, and the amount of work you put into this build.

[@Yves95128]

Some people put thumbs down : obvious jealousy😂😂😂, Beautiful work, Thank you, 👍

[@Mavrik289]

Amazing work!

[@Christoff1996]

This is stunning! Really takes some skill to bring a poor kit like this to a high standard, I’m trying to do the same thing for an old Airfix 1/600 Tirpitz and hope to modernise it to a higher standard

[@mikehendon7327]

ladies and gentlemen, the MINIMUM amount of effort needed to make a Revell kit look good.

[@alex_petrov_13]

Your works are magnificent. I constantly monitor your work. Please tell me what kind of knife blades do you use? once I saw a small tweezers from you, I also bought one for myself.

[@michaelkovacic2608]

Those 3 dislikes are probably from the crew of the torpedo bomber which destroyed the ship.

[@peterkluwer8913]

Ahh part two of sculpting your own battleship! You DO chose "very hard difficulty" and make it harder :D

[@klonik79]

yeah, some people certainly need level above insane difficulty. for me please introduce one bellow very easy, call it "mid age or older European with too much coffee/tea in system"

[@hubristicmystic]

This channel is also known as: "Ebroin's precision model rehabilitation".

[@LZScaleModeling]

Master the two watchtowers are masterpieces in themselves

[@steves8482]

WHY - when I use PE does it stick to the tweezers, or to the applicator, or to my fingers, or quite frequently all three.? In fact the only thing it doesn't stick to is another bit of PE. I did manage to join two pieces once, but then lost them in the carpet grrrrrrrrrr. Going to call you Mr Teflon Tweezers from now on - are you a surgeon in real life? Amazing video, thank you!

[@lyankim2012]

Holly sh*t !! this is an INSANE LEVEL 👍

[@danteogilery7948]

This is amazing! master 🙌👏

[@andypellatt7862]

Amazing detail And I thought my 1/200 Arizona with Pontos details was small and fiddling sometimes !

[@foreverplastickits138]

*You have magic fingers! And i see all the improvements you made on this "basic" kit ... i ask myself : "why some brand provide such kits?". Maybe it's a challenge for all the modelers around the world!*

[@russianbias8003]

oh boy painting time next

[@jonL88]

You really bashed the bad stuff out of a bad kit 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂

[@VinBizz]

Okay, you’re definitely the best

[@deusexmachina6260]

Great job!

[@KJ-kn8pg]

Build this kit with only some basic photo etched handrails, pretty nice kit IMHO especially for less than 10 euros. Really enjoyed it.

[@Salty_Balls]

You should add her shot clocks under the Fighting Tops, mounted to the tripod masts. They're very distinctive in shots of the fighting tops.

[@EbroinSong]

No, I shouldn't because it wasn't there during the Attack on Pearl Harbor. warfarehistorynetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/W-Ordnance-2-HT-Nov05.jpg

[@camsffms1009]

I feel so sorry for you. This must be a real hell job.

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

I build and fly rc plane models. The only static type modeling I do is Guillowes balsa n tissue plane kits that hang from my ceilings. But, I know skill when I freaking see it!

[@mikep3180]

I remember buying this kit years ago when I first started this hobby, back then it looked amazing but as years passed it got badly damaged so I decided to turn it into the wreck of the arizona instead

[@thedisabledwelshman9266]

excellent as usual.

[@archieohare]

Is there anaything you could not sculpt with the Magic? ;)

[@하늘엔68]

하이바스 아리조나 얼마전 목갑판에 에칭까지 사놓고, 개시한 두시간만에 봉인했습니다...ㅎㅎ 역시 금손은 다르네요.. 보다보니 다시 건드려 보고싶네요.. 영상을 참고해서 에브로인님의 절반이라도 따라해서 완성해 봐야겠습니다 잘봤습니다

[@EbroinSong]

감사합니다 ^^ 품질 때문에 사실 쉽게 손이 안가는 키트죠. 제 영상이 도움이 되었으면 좋겠습니다.

[@ZoidFile]

Man, If someone gave you a kit of the Ever Given you probably could still build an Arizona out of it.

[@theloafnoodle804]

So nice to watch a bad model turn into something good. I currently have one I do not feel like working on anymore, I will finish it but it is not worth putting my time and effort in it (rather looking forward to my Musashi that finally arrived)

[@INK0GNIT0V]

Чувак, ты мужик! Top job! Greetings from Russia!

[@ahmeterenispir8362]

A true masterpiece

[@ElshanMammadov]

Fantastic build! What tweezers do you use?

[@EbroinSong]

Tamiya's. Thank you for the comment!

[@bunnyniyori6324]

Great video, what is the point though in calling it a Hobby Boss kit :) So little of the kit was used.

[@frankcalifano7970]

Where do they sell the magic toothpick?

[@colossalbigfoot256]

Are you using magic sculpt natural 2 part epoxy? After watching the magic you’re doing with it and seeing how well it works I’ve got to order some. Just wanna get the same product. And those tweezers.. Tamiya? I gotta get a quality set. You are a master builder!!

[@EbroinSong]

Yes to both questions. Thank you for the comment!

[@zyphod74]

Looks like a rebox of the old Dragon kit

[@SkeeterPondRC]

YES! Love the new title!😂

[@lehagusev583]

Приветствую Мастер! Великолепно! Простите, наверное повторяюсь, но где же 'ТИРПИЦ"??? Когда окончание постройки этого Шедевра???

[@PsychicalTraumaPL]

That's an out standing work here, good Sir! You've made a real masterpiece out of the basic monstrosity which Hobby Boss calls 'a scale model'... Question, are You planning to paint it? It might be a bit difficult, but as it is right now would look awsome as well on display, just showing the amount of work that piece required.... And, while You're into HB 'wanna be' models, ANY chances of building RN Pola in 1/350 made by them? 🙂

[@EbroinSong]

I am already painting it and it is almost done. Probably I will skip RN Pola, I don't own the kit. Thank you for the comment!

[@paulmanuse2353]

Amazing!!!!!

[@Leptospirosi]

This is another level! 😱 One question: is there a reason why you did not recast the turrets in resin once the first was made? It seems you sculpted all 4 from scratch!

[@EbroinSong]

I didn't cast it because there are only 4 turrets, and I don't have vacuum defoaming machine. Thank you for the comment

[@PrayingLotus]

Alternate Title: Trying to fix the godawful mistakes a "model company" made Like, I legit can feel the frustration emanating from the video based on some of your hand movements. This is like peak modeler masochism

[@NEON-yn8tb]

항상 잘 보고 있습니다ㅎ

[@EbroinSong]

시청 항상 감사합니다 ^^

[@rc-fannl7364]

Wait, no glass windows and no pilot and full interior in the floatplane? I am massively disappointed... Just kidding, this isn't model kit building, this is a mix of art and micro surgery. Amazing!

[@rkcoon]

Just a friendly heads up - you might wanna change the music. Wargambling is *notoriously* bad about that sort of thing, especially lately. Other than that, damn, my modelling skills were never even close to what you can do. Nicely done!

[@tesarus8461]

At this point it is a scratch build and not a Hobby Boss!

[@Con9359]

Without your amazing work the kit would've probably represented the ship after pearl habour.

[@markrosser1449]

This is amazing dude. You should just take out the word hobby boss and replace it with scratch built.

[@astolbro7183]

So let me get this straight the turrets were completely the wrong size and shape? How do you mess up that bad without trying?

[@vitahobby]

Amayzing!
