As a custom builder, my deepest respects to owner/builder of this incredible ship, she's truly a work of art. Thanks for sharing her with us, a great video as always.

[@Ling__Ling__]

For the people who haven’t read the description, this is KMS Graf Spee, she was a Deutschland class heavy cruiser and typically referred to as a “pocket battleship” and is most famously known for the Battle of the River Plate in which she faced off against HMS Ajax, HMS Achilles, and HMS Exeter in which she suffered damage to something related to the fuel. But after fake reports of HMS Ark Royal and HMS Renown I think in the region made the captain and German High Command scuttle the ship. Some of her rangefinders rests in Uruguay I believe. I typically can tell the Graf Spee mainly because of her 6 main guns, and her rear quad torp tubes.

[@pippiperade4030]

I think that the German naval architects designed some of the best looking warships ever in my opinion. In the real world, the trouble was, as I understand it, the German Navy had not achieved its desired size at the outbreak of WWII - plus they didn't enjoy the same access to the Atlantic as the Royal Navy - so they were always constrained in that regard. They were a feared and respected opponent and were tough ships to sink. The accuracy of their fire control systems always gave them the edge in any opening exchanges. This is a beautiful model that really looks right.. Well done to its builder.

[@dinolarson6917]

Pip: I suppose I like the Japanese better....lower freeboard....extended bows....about 10-stories high (easier to find after they sink...)

[@VRichardsn]

The look on Kriegsmarine ships were very... classic, in a way. Elegant lines. Sadly for their designs, the excellence levels achieved during the days of the Kaiser were long gone and the quality of the new designs left a lot to be desired.

[@mr787takium9]

Pip Piperade for me germany is the number in world war 2 in making awesome weapon from ship,tank, to planes and not least the first assault rifle but too late to develope that put them to lose the war and the destruction of Hitlers falls. Its just my opinion

[@VRichardsn]

I won't comment about the Heer or the Luftwaffe, which both had excellent machines. The Kriegsmarine, however, had some decidedly mediocre (Bismarck) or downright bad (Scharnhorst) surface designs. However, if you want quality ships coming from Germany, look at those designed and produced previous to WW I, back when Germany could afford the luxury of going face to face with the Royal Navy.

[@matiasm.3124]

ilovenitnat yeah impossible that boat weights 128k... More like near 50k

[@RCRCRC]

It is first lifted into the water. Then lead weights and batteries come in. Then the ship's buildings are put on. That's why you do not have to lift 128 kg of 2 people.

[@xandrewbrown]

12kg

[@kurtfrancis4621]

Then the description should clarify that fact.

[@acdccovers1277]

It definitely doesn't weight 128kg, regarding Archimedes principle. A 128 Kg floating means the boats submerged volume represents 128kg of water, that is to say 128L. On the video we clearly see the sumbergend volume below the waterline of the boat is far less than 128L. It seems way closer to 12.8L, that is to say 12.8Kg. Basic Physics. Beautiful model tho.

[@joewoodchuck3824]

I saw a battleship of that size range many years ago in Kingston Ontario being driven around by a man inside. I had the impression he used a canoe for the hull which likely saved a lot of the construction time, and in the end may not have been too far away from the ship's original lines anyway.. He made no effort to conceal himself inside which actually added to the fun of watching him tool around the local waterfront.

[@dieselrotor]

I have been toying (No pun intended) around with the thought for years of building a large scale battleship out of tin and after seeing how easy a steam engine would be to acquire run off propane, I am inspired by this Beautiful Ship.

[@georgioskoroneos9272]

Well ...the Germans did at that time many things first too they were good engineers however Germany was in quaditty behind all the others behind in numbers from the beginning so when the war broke out there was no way that they could catch up against the English or Americans so they were forced to count on quality fue ships but very well made in speed /protection/armament the boilers of this ship were special made & very advance for that period of time had to used special diesel of fuel which this fuel had to be process first at other boiler to specific grade before feed then to the main boilers then when that primary boiler was destroy by the British guns then the ship become useless & therefore couldn't escape the destruction in my opinion the kapitain sink the ship so the technology of the ship guns/engines e t c not to failed at British hands & of course by doing this he save the life of his men but he payed dearly with his own.

another thing i have always wondered with these big ships, is why there are soo many different types of life boats

[@jgdooley2003]

There would have been a need for various boats to scout out ports, harbours, anchorages etc of varying depths and conditions. Also a lot of transfers occurred between ships and shore installations in home ports and foreign (neutral or friendly) ports requiring varying types of boats and launches depending on the task being carried out or the status of the person being carried.Not all the boats carried would have been purely lifeboats.
