Hi Guido, that was a fantastic build and paint finish, I have this in my stash, partly built as I struck a couple of issues with construction, but I mudt get it out again and see what I can do wigh it, you have yourself another subscriber, best regards from Australia, Les

Hello, I'm returning to the hobby after many years away from it, now that I'm newly retired I finally have the time to dedicate. I choose to start with the Academy Graf Spee because it was on offer at a very reduced price (a bit over 30 dollars), purchased also the Eduard PE set which has not arrived yet, and while researching the subject I came across your video series ... thanks a lot for all the useful tips :)

Amazing!

Admiral Graf Spee! 👍🏻

Love the result! Out of curiosity, are you in Germany? If so, do you know of good scale model shows in the Bavaria region?

Could do without the music.

How do I glue the glass on the pilot's seat and commander's seat?

I just bought this Kit so again many thanks for doing a great job!

Everyone has an accident or two ...thanks for the heads up.sorry for the accident..still a great series😀😀😀😀😀

I've had this kit for over 5+ years sitting on my shelf because I started making the tracks first and gave up moving onto other kits. As you know they're just plain terrible. Which tracks did you use for yours and do you have a link?

Looks like a real fun challenge

RIGGING EASIER TO SEE WITHOUT THE WHITE PAPER

Very good definitely an art in making that look right

have not heard from guido in years.

What tracks did you use? Great looking model !

Fabulous work

I HOPE YOU SHALL PLACE A SWASTIKA ON THE N O N. D K M. FLAGS INSTEAD OF THE WHITE BALL , ON YOUR FINE BUILD

P S : THIS MP3 DEVICE IS MARVELOUS , HOWEVER , IT HAS A DICTIONARY THAT BUTCHERS SOME SPELLING A F T E R. COMMENTS ARE SAVED ; ,DEFECTIVE ENGINEERING OF AN OTHERWISE EXCELENT DEVICE ! X van ESS

EXCELLENT SALVAGE FROM ORIGINAL BUILD TAILOR ALSO , SOMETHING I RARELY SEE IN WARSHIP MODELS, IS YOUR " crew " PLACED THRUOUT THE SHIP WHICH GIVES A DISTINCT IDEA OF THE SIZE OF THE SHIP , IN MANY LOCATIONS : EXCELLENT IDEA ANDLACEMENTS , ALSO , THE RIGGING IS WELL DONE, AS IS THE ENTIRE BUILD X. SUGGEST YOU BUILD AND ENCLOSE THIS SHIP IN A CLEAR PLASTIC CASE ... HOPE YOU SHALL CONSIDER BUILDING THE FAMILY OF THE BEAUTIFUL D K M WARSHIPS AND DO NOT , FORGET TO FLY THE P R O P E R. D K M. FLAGS AT THE TRUCK AND. STERN X. O S V. CAPT. P. van ESS. U S M M

I WOULDN'T USE THE 20 s ... THEY ARE GROSSLY OUT OF SCALE , AND I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE DUAL 37s ... MY POSITION IS, IF YOU ARE GOING TO BUILD AN EXCELENT MODEL ( AS YOUR DECK PLANKING INDICATES ) WHY USE A N Y T H I N G THAT MAKES THE BUILD LOOK LIKE A CARELESS BUILDER WORKED THE MODEL ... GIVEN THE HISTORY OF THE SPEE , I WOULD WANT HER TO REFLECT EXACTLY , WHAT THE SHIP LOOKED LIKE ... I AM VERY BIG ON FULL RIGGING AND D K M FLAGS ALSO WHICH I SEE ABSENT IN GREAT BULDS FROM TIME TO TIME , HOWEVER , ITS YOUR CHOICE AS TO THE ACCURACY OF YOUR BUILD X. O S V CAPT. P.van ESS. U S M M.

That is absolutely amazing ! I’ve just got the 1/350 trumpeter kit to start and would love to get it to even half that standard

Hello, i have a little question. What did you use to cut model in half?

hi...focus yourself, you need manual controls, a camera with manual focusing, m,ay a macro objective, so small rigging comes out

Demasiados videos. Solo para eso.

I am assembling this model now, the machine gun and the weapon tower caused great difficulties, it is very inconvenient and difficult to assemble the tower.

Oct. 15, 2021---Thanks for the video as I didn't know it came with an interior. Got back into modeling, but going for 1/35 zombie/apocalypse dioramas and disappointed so many kits now days don't have interiors.

Excellent!

Just came across your series while doing research as I'm getting ready to start my own AGS and will be using your videos to help the build. Thank you for all the tips!

This kit including figures?

In what order of paint did you use for painting the deck? Were they thinned down like tint or like regular paint? I really enjoyed your tutorials on painting wooden decks

Бля! Ну какое же ты заебистый зануда! Делаешь правильно а смотреть невозможно! Блевотина!!!

I done the one with the crane on top stunning it was

For more realism you'll need the ever present communication wire wrapped around and hanging out of the final drives with at least one final leaking. Also brown sludge where the bilge pump outlets are. When the bilge pumps run they pump out oil, coolant, hydro fluid, piss, sea water, tobacco spit.....

How do you know where the rigging should go? Any specific book?

Looks Great!New Subscriber!Please take a look at my Channel, Thank you 🙏

incredible work mate, too bad about the misshap, id be gutted. i dropped a photo frame on a 1/700 and almost kicked a hole through my wall.

Incredible work! for a ship that caught the admiration of my granddad whose he saw coming in the Montevideo port just after the Battle!, this emotions when he saw the german Captain and his sailors going down the ship carrying the casualties in their whites uniforms, moslty not older than 18 years old, and later the descition that he took giveng his life and his ship, assuming all the blame without loosing the honor and lifes of the crew was an incredible act of bravery! well remembered with this piece of work, congrats!

I think you dud an amzing job with this kit. Not to shit on you but the interior color you were looking for is sea foam green. idk if thats commercially available. The floor under the driver station is the same dark green as the deck plates and that also goes for driver side lateral cover and floor in front of where the radio stack and tool box goes. The standard SL3 issued tool box is red not green. The personnel heater is also supposed to be dark green. But awesome job all in all

I am building Tamiya one , I am doing a basic interior , just so it doesn't look "empty". your vid has been an enormous help to me , thanks for posting !😉😊😍👍 Wales UK

Hello! Beautiful video! Can you briefly explain how you separated the hull to create the waterline version?

Lo tenemos en las costa de Montevideo en el río de La Plata tenemos un museo de el el mejor acorazado de bolsillo 💪

What’s the compulsion adding music over a voice commentary? Makes it difficult for hard of hearing people to understand and detracts from the video itself

Lose the music.

Probably the most Legendary Ship of WWII. Langsdorf is considered a hero by all countries. He saved thousands of lives including British Sailors. Merchant and Military Sailors such as my dad who was in the U.S. Navy during the war. He spent two years on a Destroyer in the Atlantic and two years on a PT Boat in the Pacific. As a young child I watched the Movie about the Admiral Graf Spee with my dad. When the Langsdorff scuttled the beautiful but tough ship my dad had tears in his eyes. I asked him why are you crying? He said what Langsdorff did took more courage than if he had come out fighting. He said son I saw many a ship go under and I can't explain the terrible feeling you get even if it is your enemy. Langsdorff sunk 9 to 10 Merchant Ships without one life being taken. He didn't treat his prisoners like the enemy. Langsdorff through a Christmas Party for his prisoners and he let them walk freely on deck. He even made friends of them. Ask the children of the men on those ships and the men on the Ajax and Achilles if Langsdorff is a hero?

I saw a 1:350 Graf Spee by Acadamy for a good price recently, and remembered these build videos, so was inspired to give it a go and made the purchase. Am also interested in the earlier years, so will enjoy reviewing your build videos for reference and inspiration before starting. Thanks for posting this build log.

Great work on this. Interesting that you cut all the photo etch railing parts with sharp cutter, I've always used the small sharp scissors on a Swiss Army Knife, which cuts any photo etch part (particularly railings) very sharply and precisely, including cutting off the tiny attachment points to leave a totally clean straight edge, and to shorten a single piece of railing by cutting the stanchion off and trimming the railings shorter (then re-attaching the stanchion). Just sharing this if it may be useful to anyone.

Your ships are some of the best on youtube.

Podrías decir el color base interior? Gracias

I had to do that with my ger8251 half track all the gear shifters and handbreak were in wrong position and missing altogether the 2 side leavers to basically give it power steering and turn thaose rear tracks easy enough but looks the part now tho haha
