Thanks :). Yeah the camera was very shaky. That video was produced before I got my hands on a phone stand/holder.

I do this by building my models digitally on the BrickLink Studio app (Free). I use the render feature to render the animation.

Oh I believe you were talking about the AH-1 Cobra in real life. This design is not the Cobra but my own design named Striker. I am just using a similar naming convention to the US military.

Oh I apologize. I thought you meant the real one 🫡

I believe you were thinking of the Cobra. This is not the Cobra but my design (named striker) using a similar naming convention.

Thank you for the feedback. I will implement this advice in future projects. The PDF instructions I added should address this issue but if I make another stop-motion instructions I will make sure to showcase the final product more.

Thanks :). Stay tuned for more!

Your very welcome :). Let me know when the videos comes out.

Some sacrifices had to be made (I did that too with other builds). R.I.P

@Ancient_Historical Sounds good. Maybe add some cooperation and form a dream fleet of a joint task force of ships between you and I.

@81stbrickbattalion Alright, sounds perfect

OK, Just letting you know, I will br including my scrapped ships, so if you would like, I am asking if you want your scrapped ships in this video as well? Also, lore wise, how many planes does the Vanguard has?

@Ancient_Historical Yeah. You can use my scrapped ships. Vanguard physically in real life can likely hold up to 20 full sized folding naval aircraft (Perhaps 8 fighters, 6 dive bombers, 6 torpedo bombers, Minifig sized planes are really large to store). If the aircraft shrunk even more you could potentially hold up to 35-40 aircraft but each aircraft’s firepower and range will be much less. You could probably have a whole 35 multi-role drone UAVs if the technology was there.

@81stbrickbattalion I use mini planes to represent the scale of the carrier, so the Tranquility can probably hold 80 or more planes. Also, thanks man.

That is some very insightful analysis. I am an air power enjoyer :).

@@81stbrickbattalionI prefer battleships, but I use carriers for their effective long range and more accurate attacks. But the battleship is incomparable in damage.

And the battleship was a sign of power from the 1870s to 1945.

A battleship with strong air cover can decisively control a sea zone, making any attempt to challenge it come at a steep price. This reminds me of the Guadalcanal campaign and the fierce battles in Iron Bottom Sound.

@@81stbrickbattalionExactly. Battleships are useful, especially cuz of their large body and massive amounts of armor, in fact, most carriers used to be built on cruiser and battleship hulls

That’s so cool. I should really think about adding new modern ships to my fleet or maybe some space vessels. I have made quite a number of naval gun mounts but not a vessel in a while.

@@81stbrickbattalion Yeah, also, if you and me ever fight, you probably whoop me due to me only having only 5 ships 💀, but if I could bring all of my previous ships back, only like 2-3 of them could even put up a fight.

Yeah, I might have to go with the Pre-WWI Italian doctrine of a few ships that can out-fight any other ship. Just to make it more viable in combat.

Sounds really similar to what the Japanese were doing in WW2. You can have a fleet in being where you have some really powerful naval units that can tie down a lot of the opponent’s units as seen with KMS Tirpitz in WW2.

@@81stbrickbattalion Yeah, you’re pretty knowledgeable on history, which is wonderful due to history being looked down upon

Thank you :)

That is actually a really descriptive and insightful take on my design 👍

You noticed ;)

The 'Chicago Typewriter' is actually the nickname for the American Thompson submachine gun. Searching for 'Chicago Typewriter AA' brings up images of the 1.1"/75 gun, but its primary nickname is the 'Chicago Piano.

Ohh

Oh, you mean the musical instrument, the piano. Interestingly, 'Chicago Piano' is the iconic nickname given to this anti-aircraft gun.

@@81stbrickbattalion Yeah, you can imagine my confusion when I saw an AA gun instead.

There are a number of WW2 weapons with musical instrument nicknames such as Stalin's Organ (Kytusha rocket launcher), QF 2 pounder AA gun (Also recieved the same name of Chicago Piano), and Screaming Mimi (German Nebelwerfer rocket launcher). These weapons sure make a lot of noise

Yeah. My navy needs new ships such as frigates, corvettes, or destroyers to escort capital ships and convoys and perhaps replace my older Dolphin Class destroyers. I need find the time though... Maybe you'll see a surprise this christmas.

It does sound cool. I wanted to include anti-infantry teams and anti-armour teams as one classification. If we break down the heavy weapons team we can then create subclasses such as anti armour teams and machine gun teams.

@@81stbrickbattalionsounds good also for the anti infantry they can use chains shots so it could take 3 at once

That kind of reminds me of a tactic used in Star Wars Battlefront 2 when 3 clone miniguns fire together to make it impossible for enemies to cross an area on the kamino map nicknamed Kamino Corner

@@81stbrickbattalionalso my army is waiting for a at-te and a tie bomber

Those are some nice units to have.

Thank you! 😊

I could develop a new modular cwis mount in the future….

Change in military doctrine and classification as time passed by. By current classification standards it would be better to reclassify that old cruiser as a frigate or corvette.

Thanks!
