Excellent work! And I totally agree with you: this is a ship from a underrepresented time of naval history. But things are getting slightly better....

Great work, Peter. I like how you don't just review the kit, but outline strategies to simplify the process or problems to avoid. Love the look of these archaic ships. Additionally, I appreciate how your builds show the models more or less out of the box. I'm among those that have little to no interest in buying kits for my kits. Out of the box and into the fire. In my opinion, ordering up-market PE can be a great way to both procrastinate on a build and make it too precious to start. Start building and do your best is a great way to move through a stash. Of course if someone wants additional PE, that's cool, it's their model. They can paint their battleship hot pink for all I care. If I paint mine hot pink, it's not their business either. The beauty of the hobby is there are a countless ways to approach it.

Came here to look at some pretty pictures and got a fantastic narrative on a great build. :-)

Excellent review & well done model of SMS Seydlitz. I would like to see more WW1 capital ships as well. HMS Tiger would be a great addition.

Thanks for the vid rly good job with the kit. Also thanks again for inspiring me to build a warship, and that is good because I just build armoured vechiles and planes. I always thought hobby boss was trash but after watching a couple of videos and building a hobby boss kit myself I learned how stupid I was when I said hobby boss was bad. So good job and thanks for inspiring me to make model warships 😀

Excellent video, thank you!

Very enjoyable Peter i love my ships but i am on a limited budget and when you add the p.e and decks i see on peoples videos i end up giving up but this build really interested me so thank you . Regards Gav.

Your completed model really looks the business! Yes, a British BC (or Iron Duke?) would be a wonderful follow up. Thanks for the video.

Great job.

That's an appropriate building review on video! Step by step explained, not too long and oversized in time request. I wanna purchase the Seydlitz too as basis for its turkish sister ship Goeben aka Yavuz Sultan.

Nice work. Better history. Well done , Sir. New sub , here. Model on.👍

Great Video - and very informative - also delighted to be the first to post a comment ( Positive ) except for spam one ! - I love the fine details the Model has and the great result you did - happily subscribed ! Thanks for posting the video

This looks like a good model albeit the truly clumsy deck detail. A nice looking hull shape and overall good fitting. I will be embarking on using AK burnishing fluid for tracks and wondered if you thinned yours with water as the anchor chain finish is very good. You also mentioned two applications, intresting - I've only ever read of single applications... Your boats are great and the replacement masts and aerial-work really adds to the realism. You are so right about less is more and the rigging is a good example.

Many thanks for this excellent review, it helps alot to make a decision to take it or not :) The only real Problem i got with the Kit are the missing Torpedotubes, only the front one is representet.

Great work. As a German, I have to correct something: The name plate bears a mistake. It reads "Große Kreuzer" but it should read "Großer Kreuzer".

Great build! What about HMS Kent for the next build?

日本製のプラモもユトランド海戦に参戦して欲しいなぁ👍

There's just no way this kit is worth its price, no matter how good a job you made of it Peter. It should be in the region of 30 quid.
