USS West Virginia & USS Artisan (ABSD-1) - Floating dry dock 1/700 scale epoxy resin diorama

[@maimon1000]

ジオラマになってくとこが好きすぎる、完成シーンとか一人で拍手しちゃうレベルです。

[@ガンダム大好き-w8l]

今回の作品もとてもすごかったです。動画作成お疲れ様でした。

[@glenchapman3899]

Near the beginning of the video you were asking if those parts should have bottoms. No they don't. The are called cassions, and when the bottom is soft and muddy, not having a bottom helps them break free of the mud when pumping air in as part of the floatation process. If they did have a bottom the mud was cause really bad suction and stop them from rising. It is a big problem when you are trying to raise ships that have sunk, and was particularly bad in Pearl Harbor after the attack in Dec 41

エポキシの硬化後に枠を外す時が勢い余って肝心の模型を壊すのでは無いかとドキドキしてしまった。造るだけでもとんでもない集中力がいるだろに撮影まで完璧にこなす職人ですね。

It is clear to me that you need your own Netflix show if you keep doing amazing work like this!

[@ronnieburns4554]

WOW, all I can say is Wow! What a diorama you just built. Thanks for all the tricks you put in your videos.

[@panzer-meister]

お疲れ様でした。これはもう、永久に保存して後世に遺したいですね。

[@asarand]

Floating dry docks are usually found in harbors or other shallow water areas. The deformation in the bottom of the diorama makes it look like you're seeing the bottom of the harbor. For something that was unintended, it looks quite good.

[@tonerotonero1375]

すばらしい。すごい できたなモデル。おめでとうございます。フランスから宜しく。

[@tr8ir]

I don't think adding a plastic film to the bottom was mistake. It distorted, but now, from the side it looks more simillar to the sea bottom because of light bending. It was not intended but, i guess, it looks a bit better than plain flat finish would. Amazing work!

[@swiftlet5346]

When I started watching I thought "that's cool, I wonder what sci fi show that comes from." Then, I discovered that that thing is 100% real.

[@Bob-jh6vk]

Floating drydocks are incredibly useful for not only navies but also civilian shipbuilders. There are actually still several floating drydocks from around the same time as this one that still serve with navies and shipbuilders around the world to this day. This particular one in real life however, was retired in 1987. Still after 40 years of usage though

[@Can_Gonenc]

Amazing diorama. Thanks for the Turkish language support.

The mast and bell from the USS West Virginia are outside Oglebay Hall on the West Virginia University Campus in Morgantown. There is (last time I looked) a nice model of the West Virginia in the Mountainlair.

[@mario.-_-.]

Nice! * This kind of WW2 dock with 9 segments still works in Croatia today ("DOK11" Viktor Lenac - Rijeka).

[@garygenerous8982]

Awesome work sir! Thank you for sharing. Also while I know it was a mistake, I really like the depth effect the warped bottom of the epoxy cast makes. So consider it a happy accident rather than a mistake. 😊

[@HaO-be5hk]

レジンのバリ取りにはシャビーブっていう工具が便利ですよ！ 是非使ってみてください😊

[@vidar7106]

Highly recommend cutting brass out on a slab of glass, tile, or flat stone… something that doesn’t have any give in it so you don’t distort the brass parts cutting them off the sprue

[@yokogoph]

Must have been a good feeling to see the epoxy cure nicely instead of doing anything drastic.

[@jkotva22]

VERY NICE!!! A lot of hard work went into making this and it shows.

[@thanassisveggos627]

Hands down you are the most talented modeler on KZbin Bravo!! 👏

[@airplayn]

I think it would have been more visually interesting if you had caught the action as the dry dock starts sinking to re-float the ship. That way you could have kept all the massive wooden supports under the keel and hull with the rush of white water surging up from the scuttle cocks and spilling over the dry dock rushing against the battleship's hull. It would have more white water as the currents wash up against the hull like mini-breakers and whirlpools, a much more dynamic scene instead of static and frozen. Yes, I know it would have been extremely challenging and I'm NOT volunteering to give it a try, just brainstorming. Another thought is a technique I use to simulate the battered hull plates on the bow that are caused by heavy waves crashing and buckling the steel plate inwards. It adds a lot of character but you can't let it get too heavy handed and overdone, especially on a Battleship. These buckled plates wouldn't be as prominent and pronounced as on a cruiser. However, if you look at pictures of destroyers these warped plates are a common sight and often VERY obvious.

[@davchow8124]

Just wanted to let you know. It is not a “Sir.” but a “Mam” who is doing this, I made the same assumption, my mistake. She is so good at her craft. I totally am amazed at her high skill level. 👍

[@kieranfitzgerald2030]

You could paint the underside, to take advantage of the distortion and make it look like the sea floor

please look into a what is called a deburring tool or machinists deburring tool, it is a handle with a free spinning cutting blade that self aligns to an edge and is much safer around delicate parts and your fingers etc. also used by plumbers for copper piping etc, likely should be avail in any hardware store i'd hope. Great work overall though, it came out wonderful

[@t3avelos]

i'm sure that clear blue tinted resin is tempting, but the water here is totally out of scale: even the cleanest waters do not offer visibility more than 15-20m, let alone the murky waters of a busy harbor. So if you wanted to be true to scale, you would have to make the water totally opaque (as is the case with 99% of 1/700 ship dioramas), or at most, pour several resin layers, starting fully opaque at the sea bed and going gradually more transparent as you move towards the surface. Which would have obscured most of the detail below the surface, but you can't put all your eggs in the same basket. Then again, there is that thing called artistic license, so if the end result pleases you, forget my comment all together :)

[@jugentjugent]

素晴らしい！😊

[@Blockio1999]

What an incredible build. Excellent work!

[@death99ification]

pretty sure that most floating drydocks are and have been just flat bottom barges that are semi-submersible

[@seasoda3319]

Amazing diorama! Everything about it is awesome!

[@dayliedose8096]

Amazing building But a little tip from a model lover You have to clean the surface after each sand an polish you have very tiny scraches in the next Processing if you dont clean. Rest material from 400 will scratch 600 ore 800. Better Clean. Better shiny

I had forgotten the West Virginia was a Colorado class ship. The first of the 16" rifle ships. If you wouldn't mind telling us what kind of cyanoacrylate glue you are using. The brands I have so far wouldn't hold up to any kind of abuse during assembly. You have turned out a very credible masterpiece. Bravo!!!

excellent- would be cool to see some pops of color- like a red/brown upper deck on the side docks

i agree, however the real floating dry docks used by the navy were all gray and i do believe still continue to be all gray
