- A fascinating project has been kicking around the studio for the past few weeks. A friend acquired a beautiful model of the USS San Francisco and it was sadly heavily damaged during shipping. It needed help and the Cinodrome offers a safe port to any troubled ship in a storm.

Yes!!
A model ship building/repairing video by my favorite ILM modeller.
Thanks! (I won’t tell the others.)
Shippers and wrecked goods. Name a more iconic duo...
Indeed.
Amazing and fascinating, great job. More of this please! Thanks Dave
Thanks much.
The way you colour matched the blue looked like some hard won life long practice just knowing the amount of which blue it needed to be as the original. Some really lovely work to watch something that definitely deserves the getting put back home it should be.
Thanks -
And the final addition marks the spot.

Yep!
Thanks!
Great video, great repair, Army Surplus Boobytraps book from 1960's ordered, beware door to door salesman....
For half a second I thought it would be fun to build one of the boobytraps in the book for the channel, but then realized the FBI would probably show up at my door. (They're all downright diabolical.)
If that was a no-joke builder's model, especially of such a historically important vessel, your restoration not just saved an extremely valuable item but also rescued a very significant historical artefact. Beautifully done!
E: and the... "aftermarket" part added at the end was just the cherry on top!
Thanks. It’s a nice model, but I doubt it’s builder’s model origin. It’s not that old. I didn’t have the time to give it a museum level restore. It’s more of a looks-good-from-six-inches-away restore.
@@cinodrome I'd say that "good from six inches" is a sight better than most museum models that I have seen-- you're lucky to get within a foot of most of those. And there's something to be said for not completely hiding everything-- like it or not, the damages are a part of the model's story (regardless of its provenance) and I think there is a way to balance restoring the vision of what the original builder had in mind while also allowing the model to tell its own history as well.
Really liked this one, very relaxing. Chef's kiss on adding yourself to the model!
Thanks for stopping by.
I could have watched a two hr version of this. Loved it.
...I may have lost my mind editing a 2 hr version of this...
I've done some build ups and rebuilds over the years, never thought about putting a scale me in it. Very neat idea!
Had to be done!
Amazing.
Thank you!
3:14 a ball of Rodico would be excellent for stuff like this. It won't damage stuff and it will keep your bits where you want them without leaving marks like some other types of putty would (it's specifically designed to suck up dirt, oils, crud - used by watchmakers and watch repair peeps).
Blessed be TH-cam comments. How did I get this far in life without knowing about Rodico!? Ordering some as we speak.
It's amazing that all of the plastic parts broke off so cleanly without any cracks, tears, chips or bends. Overall the PE also survived intact with only some minor bends (as portrayed in the video). I would say that was some very fortunate damage.
The primary loss was the fine wire railings. Most of them were too mangled to restore. I'm on a hunt for a pre-fabricated replacement supply, but no luck yet.
So good. Those were some mighty fine instruments you were using for glue application and for bending. What brand or kind are they?
It's an odd assortment and I've had them for so long I can't even remember buying them. I have a drawer full from my days in the ILM model shop - mostly dentist tools.
I don’t think I’ve held my breath for so long while watching a video on the internet. 😅
My eyesight isn’t good enough any more to get involved in something as intricate as this… but a tip of the hat to you for taking it on! Top work.
Thanks!!
This Cinodrome instalment was extremely satisfying
Glad to hear. I was a little nervous that it would be too tedious to sit through!
Unrelated to this video, but I would love to see more of your process and methods for making the little cardboard bins, drawers, and shelves all around your studio. Cardboard is one of the most approachable and affordable (free) of building materials, but it’s so often overlooked as a legitimate medium. Seeing some detailed construction with in and how it’s incorporated into your shop’s infrastructure would be invaluable. Anyway, thanks for the amazing content as always.
Thanks! I made my wife a tablet holder from some beautiful thick cardboard last week and she said, “is this the prototype?”.
I would not have called this being so fascinating! I think the fixing aspect made it stand out, the careful rebuilding of something so small. The little history lesson was nice too.
Thanks so much, and thanks for watching!
What a great repair build! Thanks for all of your great films!
Thank you and you're welcome!
Fantastic! It was wonderful watching you bring her back to life.
Thanks so much!
Wow! Incredible restoration.
Thanks. There's certainly a level of restoration above what I did. I told my friends that it wasn't a museum restoration, but a looks-perfect-from-seven-inches-away restoration.
FABULOUS. Very cool to see you work in such minute detail - highly impressive.
A glitch in the system? I responded to this once, but my response disappeared…short version…thanks.
Satisfying and inspirational. Thank You.
Regards,
Denis
Thank you for watching!!
awesome to watch this restoration. hey what watch are you sporting?
It's a knock off of the type of Rolex (I'm blanking on the model at the moment) that Brando wears in Apocalypse Now. It's 5mm more narrow, but is in the ballpark of the look. Someday, I'd like to hunt down a real one.
Quite the model. Good thing for those gents they "got a guy".
Every once in a while, I come in handy.
Brilliant job! The ship must have come off its base and rolled around in the box for there to be that much damage. Glad you could bring it back.
I was confused about it at first, because the ship was still solidly mounted to the base. I'm quite sure one of the big towers came off and then crashed around against everything else like a rock tumbler.
So cool 🛳
Thanks so much!
What was the total time spent on a project like this? Excellent work!
I’m going to guess…15 hours modeling and 20 hours editing.
So ive been scratch building for a little while now and before I go frame by frame taking screenshots to ask on reddit,im desperate to know some of the tools and techniques you're using. First is about tweezers. Is it practice and technique or something about the tweezers that is stopping small bits youre grabbing pinging off to the cat dimension or slipping in the jaws when you place something? Then there is adhesive. Im assuming you're using ca, but sometimes you get a near instant stick like at the propeller or with the rigging, but then with some of the aa guns you seem to be able to get a bit of hold while still being able to fine adjust like with the 50 at 8:20. I've tried some thicker ca but often it either takes years before it wants to grip, or I move it 1mm and it sets hard where I don't want it. Ive also tried accelerator but I feel like I need to be a hindu God to hold the two parts in place and apply the accelerator (I've also found it likes to eat models and paint). Finally is how you're applying the glue. I worked out one of the tools is some kind of metal spike with a flat end, but occasionally there's some tool with a little bend at the end seen at 8:50ish
It was mesmerising seeing you place all those pieces effortlessly that I know would have either ended up stuck to me, my tools, the wrong place or the floor.. So if you could share any tips I feel they would be as remidial to me as when I see Adam Savage talk about making a mistake I have made.
Thanks
This cracked me up. You’ve clearly been spending some quality time with ca glue, and your experience is universal. I benefit from the great power of video editing, and a touch of experience. I was using thick exclusively, and applying as small a dot as I could muster, using that collection of dental tools. In some cases, but not all, I applied a minuscule drop of accelerator the same way. For the most part, I held things in place until they stayed put or attached themselves to my tools, fingers, or floor. Whichever came first.
@@cinodrome nooooooo smoke and mirrors gets me again :P the number of times ive been placing something only for it to decide that it would rather stick somewhere far less useful or just disappear entirely.. guess ill just have to persevere, and make spares. I did notice how little glue you were applying...making me pretty sure ive been overdoing it, and i really like the tape idea... i get lazy and just stick it right on my bench.. which then requires me to attack it with a plane to get rid of it all. I have some of those dental tools and see if i have any better luck with using minute amounts of thick ca (im a little afraid of the thin stuff).
Thanks so much for the response... really love the aesthetic of your vids :)
