The Mount Everest of ship models... conquered! I am guessing you are feeling a strong sense of accomplishment and satisfaction knowing that all of the hours of hard work have paid off in the form of a great model that you can enjoy looking at for years to come. I liked the way that you added subtle texture to the painted surfaces without being too heavy-handed. I am a beginner and I am so inspired by what you have built. I am working on a fleet of Royal Navy ships and subs and the 1/200 scale is what I aspire to in a few years (after I have given myself the time to refine my technique.) I picked up alot of valuable tips and I want to thank you for posting these videos. Well done sir!

A bit late to the party, but just one word - magnificent! A model that big and that complex deserves all the time and effort you put into it, and it absolutely paid off. Hard to see how it could be improved. Lots of really great tips and techniques , and your painting skills are top notch - the layering of washes to achieve depth and complexity is an Old Masters painting technique - you can 't get the depth any other way. And inspirational too - really makes me want to take up ship modelling again after many, many years - thanks for sharing your epic build!

Actually, though I’ve been kit and scratch building models for about 50 years, I find watching you to be enjoyable and informative. You seem, highly adept and your attention to detail is very good indeed. I suppose I could say I enjoy your craftsmanship, and you often keep me company while I build. But those days are dwindling now. I’m sick and losing function in my hands, do detail work is hugely difficult. So, fellow maker, keep on keepin on, as they say. I wish you many more years of success and happiness and, as usual, I’ll be tuning in. BTW, Big ships are my joy, and anyone who makes them has my undivided attention. Thank you for sharing your experience, and for teaching an old dog some new tricks!

Firstly I figured the grey was about right and secondly I worry I will swamp detail with too much paint at that scale if I do too many coats. The fact that you have done this with huge success on this model has given me the confidence to go for it.

@@lukesanders8258 Yes I thought the Grey primer was very close to British "battleship" grey. I would decant the primer and use an airbrush to spray it on since it's 1/700 scale. Tamiya sprays level out really great but at that scale it could potentially obsure details. Good luck with your model! Cheers.

Re: painting decking and masking off details, always prefer the real wood kits that can be bought for just about any kits. They are easy to prep and go on fairly easy. For me, they offer far better detail (especially on a larger kit), especially after applying a panel line wash. Also, some of those deck details, as too a great many other things, can be cut off, sanded and replaced with after market photoetching kits. Again, the difference in detail is remarkable and adds so much to the finished product.

Nice build. I am building her as the 1938 version with the stripes and single rondel on forward turrets. How did you make the mask for the rondel to be so perfectly circular?

Thanks. I used Tamiya tape… the wide 3” roll then used my circle cutter which is quite precise.

Blast bags are my pet peeve and these look outstanding. Are they included in the kit or aftermarket?

Thank you! Yes they are resin aftermarket items that come with the Pontos detail set. Cheers.

Love everything but not the deck color . I m surprised you did not weathered it to give a wooden aspect

Stunning work, as always Scott! Just amazing and lots of good tips here. Where are you sourcing your brushes from? I need to get some new ones I think, mine are showing their age.

Hi, I’m new to the ship modeling community. I was just wondering where you get these tools, since I am currently building a trumpeter 1/350 DKM Blücher just to try. I noticed that you used alot of different tools but can’t find them anywhere?

Thanks Callum! Geez… that model kicked the crap out of me physically and mentally. I’m taking a break from ship modelling for awhile but will eventually get back to one of the few I have in my stash.🍻
