i am currently rehbilitating from a stroke i survived in march of 2021! i'm looking forward to modeling again but until then i live vicariously through you!!

That was an old set of Yorktown plans, but one of the best!

I don't get to comment about everything you do. Just to let you know Ben I really appreciate the models you feature. They are above my price range but that does not deter me from watching you build them. You are a true artist at this. There is no way in the world I could do the things you do, with pe and scratch building. But I do appreciate a master at work. I hope this year is fruitful for you and your family.

M'y first Watching in 2024 . Cannot miss one episode. Happy New Year to all of you ans lots of great ship buildings

Thanks very much Ben and Nora. As always informative and well spoken. Thanks again for your time and efforts

Nice work Ben, pity Pontos have no quality control or customer service, you'd like to think because of the price of the PE kits they would do the right thing by the customers.

Excellent job! Keep up the good work

Ben, that is a great job. I really like how you work through the problems you encounter. You soldier through it, and it looks fantastic when you are finished. The only ones that know what you have encountered are you and those of us who have followed your build. Well done, my friend. Well done!

Happy New year great vid

Hey Ben, just a suggestion here. If it is possible would it be easier to lay the ship on its side and let gravity be your friend while the CA dries. This build looks like your most frustrating yet and I want to congratulate you on how well you have dealt with all the problems, especially the Pontos fiasco. You have definitely convinced me to not purchase their products.

Nice video Ben.

Coming along very nice. The moving crane will add a really unique touch to the finished product. Any chance that more parts will be movable?

Happy New Year Ben! Good to see that you are working around the Pontos issues. Noticing that you haven’t opened up the upper side of the doorway to the platforms. Maybe something to improve before it’s too late. Would look strange if it was closed? 🤔

Not to overcomplicate things, but have you given any thought to doing a 3-D scan of the 3-D parts and doing a reverse resin print for the missing side?

I have velums of those in 1/72 scale.

Hi Ben, great stuff. Who makes that forming tool?

My question is, does the CA glue dry leaving clumps that show up after painting? If your using medium thickness.

Any suggestions for those of us who have the AK set and not the Pontos?

What type of CA do you use? Is it medium, thick thin or extra thin

In the minute 17 you use a tool for round bending the PE. It seems very useful. What is it and where I can find it?
