@@alexanderschuler3412 klar doch ! 😉 kann ich mir stundenlang anschauen😅

thank you!

"Yeah, who am I telling this to... It's incredibly fun putting this fleet together... I'm actually working on it every free minute... Yes, I took the photos in the living room... that's where I usually do it, since the lighting is really good there... and of course, there's plenty of space... By the way, what's your next project?"

@@CapLAGOS i’m giving my Big E a little upgrade on the side antennas. changing it to brass since the plastic ones are very thick. i’ll show you the video soon. just a quick modification. next project will be a 1/200 scale ship. same as your Arleigh burke class. i’ll do a kit review soon.

@@modelar705 "Great! A ship like that is truly never complete. A 1:200 scale? That's impressive! I'm excited to hear more from you. Cheers! ^^"

"Thanks a lot! :) As you can see, I'm working hard on it... I have a big vision... let's see how close I can get! ^^"

"So it must be!"

Thank you Bob "I'm busy with something again that will take a bit longer. :)"

"Thanks, Moe! Yes, I’m really looking forward to the TICONDEROGA-class cruiser from Flyhawk... I'm curious to see what this Flyhawk brand is like. I'll definitely check out your video! ;) Best regards!^^"

Here 'Cap' is a BETTER view COWPENS CG-63 of that mating of superstructure - hull mating....No 'Catwalk'!! www.navsource.org/archives/04/1163/04016313.jpg

Thank you very much, I'm always happy when I can help motivate you... you have a nice channel! I left a subscription there ;) (and yes, the space issue is always an issue, especially if you want to keep it away from dust....

@@CapLAGOS Thank you for subscribing and the kind words. I'll probably start with 1/700. But besides space and dust, there's also the time problem...😄

1:700 is also nice… of course much smaller. But As a hobby philosopher, I say: the Journey is the destination; and it's never enough anyway."

@@CapLAGOS 😁

Thank you Bob! ;)

🎉🍾🍹🤗

Thank you so much for your kind words Ed! :) I'm really glad you enjoyed the build and the choice of blue for the water. You're absolutely right-the ocean's deep blue color is something that can be quite striking when you're far from land. I wanted to capture that vibrant, almost surreal blue to bring the diorama to life. It's always a pleasure to hear when the details resonate with others. Thanks again for your support!

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. This collection has been a labor of love over the years, and it’s always great to share it with fellow enthusiasts. Your kind words mean a lot-thanks for watching and for the support!

F 16, um dos meus aviões favoritos também! Muito legal saber que você curtiu a minha coleção.

thanks you Bob!^^

I hear you! After tackling the photo etch on the Enterprise, it can definitely feel like a one-time experience. It’s a real test of patience, that’s for sure. I'm really glad you like my work-thank you for the support!

Hi Modelar, I’m not entirely sure if the whole fleet was deployed together, but I do know that at least a few escort ships were involved. I’ve also been eyeing the Cowpens from Flyhawk-it’s definitely tempting! As for whether these ships actually served alongside the Enterprise, I can’t say for certain. But I can tell you that building them has been incredibly fun. In fact, I often find myself getting up early just to get some extra time in on the project. :)

@@CapLAGOS you think it’s just getting up early in the morning? it’s every opportunity you get to sneak in the man cave sometimes just to take a look. it’s quite an obsessive hobby. especially when nearing the end of build you’ll sacrifice almost anything to get it done. it’s like a drug. 🤣

@@modelar705 Of course, here is your text translated into English: "I didn’t want to phrase it that way😅 but yes, you’re right. It’s an addiction with a beautiful outcome.🤗 Happy ending. (Mostly, at least)."

That's right, now the escort ships are coming... it's just fun to build dioramas... I actually prefer it. Greetings, my friend

Hello, I'm happy! The construction went quite well... it's a perfectly fitting model... it's said that the Trumpeter models aren't as precise in shape... to be honest, I only noticed that there were too many rivets... everything was fine All in all a nice kit! Have fun with your build!^^

I would have preferred to buy from Pontos, of course, but my budget only allowed for the Tetra Model Works SE-35007 1/350 USN Arleigh Burke Class "Flight I" Detail-up Set for Trumpeter. I think it will still turn out quite nicely though... 😉

the Pontos PE set is crazy. i have seen that build by someone. you probably just need the hull from the trumpeter kit and the rest will be all PE 😅. it’s good for people who enjoy PE. but if you’re a plastic kit person tetra is just nice to add details. and the Pontos price i will faint 🤣

@@modelar705 "Fainting is definitely the right word, and the patience needed for PE parts can't be underestimated either! 😅 I certainly don't use all of them. From what I can tell, the Tetra set is more than enough since the Trumpeter kit is already pretty well done on its own. 😊"

@@CapLAGOS yeah. excessive PE might spoil the fun. you become the metal modeller rather than plastic modeller . i like kits that provide PE so it can be build out of the box . maybe i’m just cheap 🤣

@@modelar705 I'm totally with you... there are enough kits that are good enough and only need a little PE... basically the weathering is almost more important... best regards!^^

What a fantastic find! Scoring a sealed model kit, especially something detailed and intricate, for $40 at a yard sale is like hitting the jackpot. For extra aircraft and equipment, here are a few great sources: Shapeways: This 3D printing marketplace offers highly detailed custom parts, including aircraft and naval equipment in various scales. Just search for "1:350 scale" to find what you need. White Ensign Models: They produce high-quality resin and photo-etched parts, which are perfect for enhancing your build. Trumpeter: Since you already have a Trumpeter model, their accessory sets are compatible and well-detailed. They offer additional aircraft, weapons, and deck equipment. Tom's Modelworks: Known for their detailed photo-etch sets, they offer a range of aircraft and other accessories that can really bring your build to life. L'Arsenal 2.0: Specializes in resin and photo-etched parts for ships, including extra aircraft and detailed equipment. Hobby Shops: Don’t forget to check out local or online hobby shops like Sprue Brothers or HobbyLink Japan. They often have a great selection of aftermarket parts and kits. Good luck with your build, and I’m sure it will turn out awesome!

yes sir! ;)

Okay sir 🤘

Thanks, Bob! Your appreciation means a lot. Here's to continuously enhancing the project with every tiny detail. Stay tuned for more updates and keep sharing your feedback - it really helps! Cheers!

Thank you! :). A Ford Class USS Enterprise in 1/350 would be an exciting project indeed! I'll definitely consider it once a model kit becomes available. Stay tuned! :)

Thanky for watching :)

Hey Moe, thank you very much! , I can well imagine that it was nice to have been part of it all...its fantastic to hear! Escorting the "Big E" must have been an incredible experience. The memories from such missions are truly priceless. It's great to see that the model brings back those good times for you. have a nice weekend!^^

Thank you so much! ;) I'm honored to be your favorite miniature artist. Your support and appreciation mean the world to me. Stay tuned for more detailed and intricate projects! greetings!^^

Thanks Scott 😉😊 Thank you for watching and for your support. Best wishes

@@modelar705 Yes, exactly, I took her with me on Trip, and I was really nervous because the planes aren't glued on. I was lucky. There wasn't a gust of wind that cleared the deck. Best wishes

@@CapLAGOS now she’s like your wife 😅

@@modelar705 Thank God it's not that bad😅

thank you :)

That would have been amazing! The "Big E" in "The Final Countdown" would have been a perfect fit, showcasing its iconic presence and power. It's great to imagine what scenes and stories could have unfolded with such a legendary ship involved. Thanks for the fantastic thought!

What a beautiful tribute! "May the Enterprise of hearts, sail on, to eternity and beyond, 'With Fair Winds, and Following Seas...'" captures the spirit and legacy of the mighty carrier perfectly. It's a fitting send-off for such a storied vessel. And of course, Go Navy!! Beat Army!! 👍👍😻😻🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

Thank you so much 👍👌🤗 wonderful to share the final product with fellow enthusiasts and fans. and stay tuned for more! 🫶👍👌🤗🫵

I'm really proud of it too... I look at it every day :) Many thanks Bob :)

Thank you very much, yes, epic music is important :)

Yes, I think so too... thanks for the tip Moe... I'll fix something :) Greetings!^^

However, it's an old kit....of course there are always more accessories...to upgrade it...and yes, the Tomcat is an eye-catcher on all levels...but I'm also looking forward to building something today with the F-35...best regards

I used a combination of Trumpeter's F-14 B/D 1:350 and YZM Model's YZ-049A 1/350 Grumman F-14A/B/D Tomcat kits. However, on the carrier itself, I only included the F-14D Tomcats, as it represents "The Last Tomcat Cruise," even though they were originally stationed on the Theodore Roosevelt. Enjoy the process of building it! It took me three months to get it to this stage.

Quando a paixão e o tempo se unem.. Atenciosamente!^^

Thanks!:) Yes, there is still a lot on the workbench... but I won't tell you what it will be yet ;) Greetings!^^

I would really like to watch your Man Cave in a video... ... I think it's interesting to see where you work... it's not always neat for me either... of course always a little more for the video.. .it's also exciting when I look at my past room tour videos from earlier years... then memories come back... let's see where the journey goes :) Greetings!^^ I actually have fewer books... because I tend to access the internet... or forums... and so on... :)

Thanks Bob, yes you always try out a new thing/idea... and new things are always added... Greetings!^^

Muito obrigado! Fico feliz que tenha gostado.Criar e compartilhar esses modelos detalhados é uma grande paixão.O ambiente que criei é o reflexo dessa dedicação, um espaço onde posso mergulhar totalmente no mundo da modelagem naval.Obrigado por acompanhar e pelo apoio.

can you read minds!? That's exactly how it is, but there is always a way. 😉👍Greetings

Hey Marc, 😊 Thank you 😊

The name "Enterprise" has become legendary across various iterations of naval and space-faring vessels, representing excellence, innovation, and bravery. From the storied history of the USS Enterprise aircraft carriers to the iconic starships of the Star Trek universe, the name has always been synonymous with groundbreaking achievements and remarkable service. The USS Enterprise Legacy CV-6: The World War II Legend The USS Enterprise (CV-6), also known as the "Big E," was one of the most decorated ships of World War II. She played a crucial role in numerous battles, including Midway, Guadalcanal, and Leyte Gulf, earning 20 battle stars, more than any other U.S. warship in World War II. CVN-65: The First Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carrier The USS Enterprise (CVN-65) was the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Commissioned in 1961, she served the U.S. Navy for over 50 years, participating in key operations such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The technological advancements and sheer power of the CVN-65 solidified her place in naval history. The Next Generation: CVN-80 Continuing the legacy, the USS Enterprise (CVN-80) is the third Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier, currently under construction. Once commissioned, she will embody the latest in naval technology and power projection, ensuring that the name "Enterprise" remains at the forefront of naval innovation and defense. In the Realm of Science Fiction NCC-1701: The Original Starship Enterprise In the Star Trek universe, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) under the command of Captain James T. Kirk became a symbol of exploration and the quest for knowledge. The ship and her crew's adventures inspired generations to look to the stars and imagine the possibilities of space travel. NCC-1701-D: The Flagship of the Federation Captained by Jean-Luc Picard, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) from Star Trek: The Next Generation continued the legacy of exploration and diplomacy. Under Picard's leadership, the Enterprise-D became a symbol of peace and unity, facing numerous challenges with wisdom and courage. Honoring the Name "Enterprise" The legacy of the name "Enterprise" is a testament to the spirit of exploration, bravery, and innovation. Whether in the real world or the realm of science fiction, the name represents a commitment to excellence and a relentless pursuit of knowledge and advancement. Capt. Jean-Luc Picard's words remind us of the importance of preserving this legacy. As we look to the future, both in naval endeavors and in our dreams of space exploration, we ensure that the name "Enterprise" will never be forgotten. By building models, creating films, and sharing stories, we continue to honor the men, women, and fictional characters who have carried the name "Enterprise" into history and our collective imagination.

@@CapLAGOS LOLLOLLOL!!!! "Biden from the Chinese"! I love it! I just finished building the 1961 USS Coral Sea for my mom in law. Her husband served on it and he's gone now. The ship is finished and beautiful and I put it in a nice case, but I wanted to add GSE but couldn't find a suitable size.... FJB!

@@GorillaCrewWarGaming Terrible speech recognition 😅 I meant, of course, you can buy them from the Chinese or on eBay. Unfortunately, I can't find the link anymore, otherwise, I would send it to you. But I'm at work here and can check at home later.

Thank you! It was a lot of fun... there's more to come... best regards

Thanks Moe :) I've got the carrier about 95% finished.... + the flyover of the various Tomcat Squadrons... that shouldn't be missing... I'm just shying away from it... maybe I just need a bit of a break from them Mini parts :)) I've also been toying with the idea of ​​building an escort ship... can you recommend one to me.....!? I was thinking, for example: USS Lassen, Destroyer, DDG-82, US Navy , original packaging, Trumpeter,04526, 1:350, NEW What do you think ?
