IJN Mikasa 1/200 Scale, Pontos & MK1 Design Detail Sets, Part 39 Searchlights
This is a build of the 2016 Merit International release of the IJN Mikasa-1905 in 1/200 (Kit # 62004). Detail sets used are the Pontos Models Detail Set 23008F1, which is supplemented with the MK1 Design Deluxe Detail Set MD-20017. This is my 1st plastic ship so a lot of the techniques shown are being done for the first time.
In this part I replace the kit Searchlights with the Pontos parts consisting of turned brass, brass photo etch and cast resin light bodies.
The connection between the searchlight supports and bodies is not very good and ultimately very weak and was a source of frustration. The clear lenses are very hard and assuming they are actually glass and not plastic and had variating thickness.

Hy, the parts 21 and 21b are the rails to pivot the gunn- you could paint them in silber/alu/Iron to add a 1/1248 of realism more to the nearly invisible parts of the kit.😂 The gunbarrels do appear to be shiny - it May be die to the fact I do use pictures of the older Adm.N. without turret covers - I do think to build her in her early days with some changes to the kit. Using an engraving I caught in e-Bay, this is hopefully helpfull. 😊 Looking foreward to more helpfull progress after the IJN ship from the plastic yard is finished. Best wishes from Berlin, Christian
Thanks for your continued interest in this model. The earlier ship before it's refit had proper masts and sails! I will build as the designer intended. I hope to 3D print the 6" gun barrels this weekend as rolling the paper ones are beyond my ability.
@@plungingfirescalemodeling2441 That sounds great - I am still struggling with my work"space" to get my ProModel ADMIRAL USHAKOW 1895 started. and my own YTChannel.
Hope you get going soon.
Nicely explained cheers marra . Regards Gav.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very enjoyable and good company as i convert 18mm napoleonic cavalry for a client . All the best . Regards Gav.
Thanks
My fear is the later desintegration of the foam after some time - so I do think about cardboard stripes or balsa wood. What do you think.
Thanks for your question. Personally I don't think it will be an issue. The foam sheet I used has sat out in the open in my hobby room and hasn't changed at all. The foam used in the hull is only there to give a solid surface to stop the paper hull being pushed in due to my lack of skills. If the foam in the hull suddenly disappeared the paper would still hold its shape, after all more skillful paper modellers than me don't resort to additional fill. Of course balsa or cardboard stripes are viable options but the foam was quicker and easier for me to use.
The infilled frames are coming into their own here marra well done . Regards Gav.
Thanks for watching and commenting. appreciated.
Well done marra gold stars all over the fridge for this one ⭐⭐⭐⭐😉 . Regards Gav.
Thank you, appreciated.
Fantastic craftmanship as usual! I, too, found it an adventure in trying to reconcile the instructions with reality. I differed from your approach in that I did not use the rectangular bases for the two lights that were installed on the masts, but otherwise my placement of the wheels/gears, etc is the same. Also, I used Krystal Klear for the lenses (as you had mentioned as an option). I was concerned that trying to force the supplied lenses might shatter the housing, so I built up the "lenses" with several applications of the glue. You're coming up to the finish line... some deck railings, rigging, boat gear,......!!!
Hi Jim, thanks. Yeah with the mast ones I noticed later but based on the frustration I had I didn't have the heart to rework them. I might go back for final fitout. The supplied lenses must be glass as I couldn't mark them and knife points skated off them. Yeah nearing the finish line but still lots of little hull details to go. Still thinking about rigging and what to use.
I just ordered the Royal Navies destroyer HMS Saumarez she comes with metal barrels after seeing this video i say thank goodness . Very enjoyable and i am learning a lot cheers marra . Regards Gav.
👍Nice! Hope you post progress.
Hi Captain, Very nice work on that tiny PE. The lights look great on your ship. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff
Thanks Jeff, appreciated.
Can these parts get any smaller? Nice work 👍
Thanks for watching, I appreciate the comment.
These old ugly Japanese BBs are my favorite, and who doesn't love a 200 scale ship?
Agree the Pre-Dreadnought style is my favourite also. Pity there wasn't more in 1/200 plastic. Thats why I started in card, a far greater selection in this scale.
Absolutely worth the effort in packing the frames well done . Regards Gav.
Thank you. Yeah worked a treat if a bit time consuming and messy.
Good idea with the blue foam i have a few sheets so another problem solved cheers marra . Regards Gav.
Thanks. Yeah I don't have the skill of applying the hull sheets without damaging.
Found your channel a couple of days ago and have been enjoying the paper ships . So i thought i would have a go not sure what to build yet but theses vids have been very helpful . Regards Gav.
Thanks for watching. Glad you are enjoying them. Paper model have lots of interesting subjects not typically found in plastic so choice can be difficult.
Hi Captain, Somehow I missed this video when it first came out. This looks like a great printer. The first print went very well. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff
I'm impressed with it's performance considering how relatively cheap it is.
Would you mind sharing your files? For 3D print. Thank you
Thanks for watching. Sorry but I don't feel comfortable sharing them as they were directly measured up from the Pontos and kit parts. It would be different if I researched the parts and came up with them on my own. Even for someone of my limited Fusion360 abilities they were pretty straightforward to draw up.
Thanks for the video iv just set mine up and was getting ready to try a first print but wanted to watch a couple more videos to see the full process. Yours was really good to watch and is the same as what I brought. Thank you again
Thank you watching and commenting, glad you found it helpful.
Very finicky work and expertly executed, especially when using clear sprue to fashion the bulbs. I admire your craftsmanship and hope to some day reach that level. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.

Excellent video as always. Thank you for sharing your techniques sir!
Thank you. Your welcome.
I love your work and watch every episode, but I'm having difficulty understanding what you're saying. Can you please speak a bit clearer ?
Thanks for following along and your feedback. Yeah it is a problem mentioned before which I'll try and address. In the meantime try clicking on CC for autogenerated subtitles as it does a pretty good job interpretating me 😀
Great job, question, where did you get those tweezers with the padding? I have been looking for ages.
Thanks for watching and the comment. They're just ordinary tweezers with heat shrink tubing pushed on as far as it'll go and then heated up with the gas torch to shrink onto the prongs, then trim to length fraction longer than the points. For normal handling they stay on fine but easily pulled off to replace. Heat shrink assorted pack from Jaycar, none of which the other sizes I have a use for but think you can get each size separately...I believe it's 1.5mm which is the shrunk size.
@@plungingfirescalemodeling2441 thanks mate, I did wonder about using heat shrink but thought it might crack. Will have to raid the tool box now and knowing my luck, everything will be of large scale. Supercheap is close for me might try them if I don’t have any. Thanks again for your help, appreciate it. 👍
you're welcome.
Hi Captain, great job making up those lights. Your Mikasa is really looking nice. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff
Thanks Jeff, appreciated.
Been looking for a tutorial for ages. Thanks a lot!
Glad it was of help.
Hey man I’m not trying to scare you or anything. But have you had those lines in your nails looked at? That can SOMETIMES be a symptom of skin cancer. It can also not be, but from a human to a human, it’s worth a doctors appointment.
Look up Subungual Melanoma. Again, not trying to scare you. Just trying to give you a heads up you know?
Thanks, all good. yeah it comes and goes although hanging around longer this time.
Love watching your videos! I now changed my mind building the Mikasa first before the 1/200 Bismarck 😊, excellent tips and comment. One question, why do you prefer Kristal Klear over AK Ultra Glue for PE, for example for the railings, the AK stuff is made for it and I personally like using it (you’ve used it before in one of the earlier vids). Kind regards and keep them coming!! Joost
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I'm glad you are enjoying them. Enjoy your modelling which ever one you choose to build. The Kristal Klear is just a personal preference, it just seems to work for me and I get consistent and reliable results. I like it's fluid but thick consistency and stays where put, grabs well and relatively quick drying. I haven't had much luck with the Ultra glue, I found the PE part would slide about and not stick. I might have a 'bad' batch and should maybe try another bottle.
Hi Captain Slog. Your ships boats turned out really nice. Great job designing and printing those parts. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff
Thanks Jeff, appreciate the comment.
Hi Captain, They look superb💯 Stunning work, as always👋🏻
Thank you for the kind words.
Great work with soldering. Have to learn that skill, especially doing mast work.
Thank you. Yes, I much prefer soldering where possible instead of using CA glue. So much more secure.
What is that xacto tool you use?
Hi, the chisel is a modified No.11 blade. I have a video in the T3 playlist on how to make them.
Awesome work. i love the brush on solder, do you have a link to where i can get some of the products you're using?
Thank you. The solder paste is from a local electronics store. Search for solder paste to find a source local to you or vender who provides on-line shopping. Given an option for lead or lead-free go for the leaded variety for better consistent results.
Wow, those boats came up real nice. Very well done. 👍
Thank you, appreciated.
Как всегда шикарно и информативно. Супер.
Thanks for the nice words.
What’s the ref # for that chisel blade?
Thanks for watching, it's a modified No.11
Hi Captain, It looks superb, it shows that you have paper modeling experience. I like the lighter color.👋🏻
Thanks for the kind words. I have settled on doing them all in the original sail colour as was wasting time procrastinating about them.
hello! i have been trying your method but i cannot find any way that i can reuse even one syringe. they all fail my even after i clean them. seems that the rubber plunger refuses to cooperate for a second time and simply detaches from the handle inside the syringe. any advices maybe?
Hi, thanks for watching and trying this technique. Sorry I don't have any advice to make the syringes last. I just used it to fill the gaps in the bilge keels I was working on at the time and didn't need to do anymore after so just binned it when done. Perhaps a smear of silicone grease on the rubber part before inserting might work.
Nice
Thank you.
I like the sail colour. Were the actual boat covers similarly coloured?
Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure, I assume they are made of some type of treated canvas but only guessing.
@@plungingfirescalemodeling2441 I think so too. 👍🏻
The sail colour is definitely better, and I suspect a more accurate depiction.
Thanks for your input.
Hi Captain Slog, Great idea. for those covers. I like the sail color myself. I have no idea which is more historically accurate. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff
Thanks for the feedback. Not sure myself, possibly bright/light colours might be avoided to reduce visual detection.
The cream colour looks better but needs to be dulled down in brightness. If you can dull it down it would be perfect.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm now thinking a light grey colour, hmmm
@@plungingfirescalemodeling2441 whatever colour you decide on, they will still look great. Looking forward to your colour scheme.
@@evanandgemma1 Thanks I appreciate that.
I think I prefer the cream colour. It shows your detail work better.
Thanks for commenting. It is certainly easier and neater to work with.
Incredibly detailed work. You've given me some food for thought on ships boats. I shall go away and experiment.
Thank you. Glad it helps.
Awesome job, I like the use of the cigarette paper. A future tip to be tried 👍 thanks for sharing.
Thanks, glad it was helpful.
It was quite satisfying to watch you super detail these coverings on model lifeboats. 👍🏻
Thank you for the nice comment.
Hi Captain Slog, Great job on the little boats. You really do have an eye for detail. The only thing I can think of that might make drawing the curve on the bow easier might be to make a little spacer that fits over the pencil like a little disk with a hole in the center. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff
