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.

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.

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

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 )

Nice! That’s a great idea.

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.

Exactly

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!

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

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.

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!

This is the trumpeter kit for the Mo.

That is correct.

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.

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

Just study the heck out of the instructions and give it a try!

The Midwest Model Shop I have studded the instruction but it’s a bit of a one shot deal!

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

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.

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

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.

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?

When I was a kid that’s all I built!

@@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

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

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.

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

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 KZfaq. Anything else I can help you with?
