1/700 model ships Japanese Navy WWll

[modelman44]

Just look at the list of videos i have. You will find the videos you need there.

[drywinddotnet]

@modelman44 Hello, I'd love to see some building and painting guides.

[dh055raptor]

@modelman44 hey do you know how big 1 700 model is

[modelman44]

@dh055raptor Most of these ships in 1/700 scale are from ten inches up to twelve.

[2010mophead]

How did you make the water i want to start making model diorama's.

[fergster11]

Sorry, I commented before I saw the photoetch.

[fergster11]

Nice work, do you intend to use photoetch brass in the future? The effect is much more realistic.

[jmmurdy]

Nice video....very cool good job.

[admiraldma]

The light carrier at 2:44 is one of the Taiyo class, so is Taiyo, Unyo or Chuyo. I have the same model, bit of a poor early casting by Aoshima if I remember correctly.

[cabbievonbump]

For the Atago, how did you do the sandbags around the gunmounts and bridge areas? Nice work.

[modelman44]

@cabbievonbump Sorry for the late reply. I used stretched sprue and painted it white then just used fingernail clippers to cut it to the right size.

[dmorourke]

The camouflage scheme on the carrier is a merchant ship false silhouette, not a cruiser. This was a an anti-submarine camouflage scheme. This is shown in the Osprey series "Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carriers 1921-1941,New Vanguard #109, Mark Stille" some excellent color plates for painting purposes in the book.

Great collection of ships

[transonicbuoy1]

Inspirational. Gives me the impetus to start on the Zuikaku.

[pennyandhistoy]

wow fantastic! btw do you have hms audacity in your fleet? cant find it anywhere

[modelman44]

@pennyandhistoy sure dont but modelship yard dot com might have a connection for you

[pennyandhistoy]

@modelman44 thanks i'll go take a look

[Yoshisan55]

Nice Job! do you have any new project coming? : )

I have Battleship Yamato under the work right now. ^^

[modelman44]

@Yoshisan55 Not at the moment but I will very soon. I will be doing the Kaga in the Midway paint scheme. Thank you!!!!

[atopar33]

こりゃすごいわ！  リアルだね〜

[modelman44]

@atopar33 Please reply in English for me. Many thanks.

[jamiekenta]

I wish i knew how to do a water diorama.

[modelman44]

@jamiekenta I will make a how to video soon showing the whole process. Stay tuned or subscribe for updates.

[jamiekenta]

@modelman44 great! going to subscribe now. btw, do you use photo etch on any of your 1/700 ships? I've never built a 1/700 ship so I'm not really sure how small it is and if photo etch parts would even make a difference at that scale.

[modelman44]

@jamiekenta Yes, as often as I can. it helps.

[admiraldma]

@modelman44 I have a large collection of 1-700 scale ships as well. Most I done in my teens so are unpainted, but I have around 40 to build yet. Told my wife its a retirement project. I love these models, but one thing bothers me. There is hardly any British ships in the waterline collection, just Hood, two KGV, two Nelsons, and thats it. Would love a couple of QE class and R class batleships, and a few county class cruisers, and a few town class light cruisers. Ark Royal would be great as well.

[Titan52berg]

@jamiekenta Use acrylic paint, let dry just until tacky, push up wave formations, form ship wakes bilge pump waste effects... place display components where desired into the partially dry paint and let air dry completely.

If desired or needed, touch up paint waves and wake with varying mixtures of white, blues, grays, etc. to achieve realistic whitecaps or wake.

[jamiekenta]

@Titan52berg hey thanks!

[deleonfrancis60]

long time ago I did the carrier Kaga it was so cool now gone forever.

[bhsbball10]

Could you tell me how to do the water like you did

[mrtacomandude]

can you sail it?

[fusoholic]

Hello. I am curious about your flightdeck color. Not quite Linoleum or Deck Tan. Is it a custom mix ?

[modelman44]

@fusoholic I used Deck Tan but then weathered it with a flat black water mix. You can dip it in a solution and let it sit for a day untill it dries. This produces a nice effect.

[cabbievonbump]

Beautiful model work.

[motionboy356]

Well done! I'm inspired!!! I can only hope MY fleet is as good!!!!

God I love the IGN!!!

[modelman44]

@motionboy356 Thank you. I would be more than wiling to share my tricks of the trade. Can't take them with me when I die, so why not share.

[capt5656]

and the nagara's main use was a torpedo boat

[ShinigamixXXx]

how much is all of that ??

[modelman44]

@ShinigamixXXx The whole collection is worth over $3000

[jasonpaintball1233]

What song is that?

[andreweng666]

what did you have to do to make those white sand bag?

[modelman44]

@andreweng666 I used stretched sprue, painted it white and cut them to size

[retardscentral]

Just to tell you the light carrier is the hosho, and if you like WW2 ships then you should check out navyfield the game.

[capt5656]

@retardscentral its seems that most people i meet get it from navyfield

[tx130c]

What Brand Are the ships or are they custom?

[ALogProductions]

Mostly Tamiya, fujimi and Hasegawa

[tx130c]

Thanks bro

[pwnzerBG]

how do u make the wter? pls tell me cuz i realy want do so something liek this :)

[modelman44]

It is a product called celluclay and I form it to look like the water and then paint it. I use several coats of gloss clear to bring the final details out.

[RoyalWarspite]

I want full hull Kirishima !!!

[GrandPimp20]

How you make the water?

[modelman44]

paper mache or a product called realistic water. see my other comments about this. Thanks

[TheZuikaku]

Shokaku!!!

[GNomad781]

Wow....thoese are really awesome builds. GREAT JOB!

[KINGTIGERKILLA]

use a gooder camera and gooder music nexts time.

[justplainerica]

Outstanding work! The light carrier... could it be Junyo? 5/5 and faved! :)

[amaziazing]

how do you use realistic water???

[modelman44]

It comes in a bottle. You pour it over and in the diorama. The blue water you see is paper mache that has been painted and sculpted.

[BruceK10032]

Nice work!

My only complaint is that the photography isn't higher resolution. I'd like to see the details more sharply. What sources do you use for all those carrier deck markings?

[modelman44]

When you state deck markings, do you mean the paint ot what?... elaborate.

[BruceK10032]

I mean, what historical source do you use to tell you what markings appeared on the flight deck of a given ship at a given time. Many of those are pretty elaborate. Your sources must be very good ones. That's what I was asking. You've obviously done your research. Your work is excellent.

[modelman44]

Over the years of building different kits, a lot of the information has come to me in parts. Some kits have more info than others about the true color for the deck or the hulls ect...i've found that once you get the basic formula for the colors it's pretty easy after that on the rst of the models. Thanks for your comments and questions. Feel free to continue further contact

[Toujerthao]

how long was it to make all the ship?

[modelman44]

This is years worth of building. Everything you see in all of my videos was done in 1 years time.

[Toujerthao]

wow

[TheZuikaku]

Where did you get a Kaga 1/700?

[modelman44]

You looking for one?

[modelman44]

Any of these ships and/or dioramas can be built to order. I rarely get to hang onto them for very long. I would have walls full of shelves if I had kept everything I've built. What you see in ALL of my videos has been done since March of '08 until now.

[svinehunden]

i really like the flying fighters... simple but it looks awesome...

[2paintminiatures]

Beautifully done. The waves are spectacular as the ships themselves.;-)

[bzzymatt]

I love your collection! :)

[BasicModelling]

Impressive collection!! Can't rate.. but I agree with CapL.. 5/5.. :)

[CapLAGOS]

very nice and big collection... very detailed ships 5/5
