I got several (now dead) insects in my Prinze Eugene 1/100 scale scratch built ship. There's something satisfying in mummified insects in your laborious hand built model. Glad to see I'm not a serial killer.
The only thing my 1/350 Alaska model was good for was catching an absurd amount of moths before the gun turret holes were sealed and the hull was cast to Davy Jone's locker.
What most people don't know is that, originally, the Littorio was designed as a torpedo boat carrier. This is due to Benito Shippelini, Mussolini's forgotten cousin, and his fascination with the torpedo boat carrier concept. Critics derided the idea as "ridiculous, impractical" and, most damningly, "dumb". This, coupled with the fact that the special Mark XII Tortellini torpedoes, which were the intended armament for this revolutionary carrier's torpedo boat complement, had suffered multiple development delays, ultimately destroyed Shipellini's confidence in his own project. In the end, he made the decision to convert the Littorio into the battleship we know today. The internal torpedo boat hangar space was reallocated, much of it being replaced with the turret infrastructure. The bow hangar doors, similar to what you might see on a roll-on-roll-off ferry today, were welded shut and the hydraulics removed. While Shipellini briefly considered retaining these in order to facilitate faster resupply while in port, the idea was ultimately scrapped when he realised that one, single hit could cause the entire bow to simply fall off, which isn't conducive for floating, especially not in a battleship. However, many of the torpedo boats had already been completed. For all his many failings, Shipellini realised that with some modification, these could be turned into lifeboats to avoid waste. So he had the torpedo launchers removed from each of the boats, and used them as the lifeboats for the Littorio-class. This is the full, historical context for the Littorio's numerous lifeboats, a fascinating and often forgotten piece of Italian shipbuilding history.
@@SeveralWeezelsInaTrenchcoat Wait, what? Well, then, art imitating life, I suppose! I've never heard of this and would love to read more. Do you remember the name of the admiral or the design?
@@businesscasualsauron the name was "incrociatore porta torpediniere" made in the 1920s in a time the Regia Marina was making designs of weird stuff, inclduing catamar carriers
Can't believe this man made an Italian battleship and then painted the hull like an Austrian ship. Keep up the good work and please use that Austrian flag at some point on some sort of shitpost ship.
The time line of Dylan 1)leaves great review on Ali express on a possibly pirated model 2)dies and is buried within the very ship he reviewed after possibly fleeing wargaming secret agents 3)is resurrected and gets betrayed and drowned in super glue, also changes species 4)is received one final time and makes his last escape Thank you Boxman :)
The way you spot a person with a false appreciation for art is with one of his paintings. He had no sense of perspective or achitecture with the way he hap-hazardly placed features on buildings, and he only ever painted buildings. So yeah, he'd build pretty good models.
Bro, its unbelivable how far you got in that short amount of time and with "just" five videos . Your building and your humor is amazing. Please never quit doing TH-cam.
12:48 "I appreciate historical details, but for me modeling is just a silly hobby" You're doing it right my man. As nice as historically accurate models are, end of the day it's about having fun. That's why I have a Panzer 4, painted in what loosely resembles modern Finnish winter camo. Is it accurate? Nope. But it looks good and that's all that matters. Love your vids, keep em' coming!
The best model building content on the internet, i happy and fortunate that youtube recommended me your first youtube video a few months back. Also congrats on the sponsor! You'd think WoWS would be the sponsor since its the objectively better boat game, playing WT naval is like building a waterline model
The fact that I discovered your channel today a few hour earlier, watched all 4 of the videos you uploaded to that point and then got a brand new one literally just shortly after I subbed to your channel left me flabbegasted. That being said I sure am not gonna complain about a new video right now considering this is one of those channels on this platform that are 100% worth subbing to
Honestly Littorio and her sister ships all look fantastic and I don’t have to be Italian to appreciate the pizza boats. Also congrats on getting a sponsor
Two things I'd love to see from you: *1. Aircraft carrier model* (would be refreshing after so many battleships imo) *2. Waterline model* (because it would be hella ironic)
I always knew Boxman had good taste for the finest battleship out there. (purely coincidence that his order got lost) Also airline models are actually *sunk* , you're supposed to invert the hull, it's like anti waterline
The green and red on the superstructure are for steaming ights, red for port, green for starboard. It had so many launches because many of the ports could not take the ships draught so it needed them as liberty boats to get the crew ashore for R&R. Ex RN so I know!
The Italian Navy gets a bad rap in WW2. I wish Drachinifel the best of luck changing that - cuz they had some great cruisers and the Littorio class was pretty good.
Dude I am pretty much an Armor Painter but absolutely can not stop watching these videos. Humor, a bit of History, and love how you show the Imperfections.
To be completely honest - I can just listen to BoxmanBuilds' commentary during his build without even watching the videos... its just second to NONE on TH-cam!
My man out here giving these ships machine spirits by entombing living creatures inside. Also respect to War Thunder for sponsoring content as unhinged as this, they clearly recognize an underappreciated artistic genius when they see one!
Even for very fine details, you should probably get a bigger brush. Those super fine brushes are basically useless except for like just dotting a single point like an eye on a person. A bigger brush that keeps a decent point can hold more paint at an ideal viscosity for brushing. Half of the time with those wee brushes, by the time you get the paint from the palette to the model, it's half dried and not working the way you want. Also makes it a lot easier to keep paint out of the ferrule (the metal part), because that's what tends to kill brushes. I personally do a lot of my 6 and 28mm work with a size 6 round brush. if it can keep a decent point, it'll do what you are trying to with that wee tiny brush a lot easier than you might expect. It's unintuitive at first, but it has helped my brush painting immensely using the slightly larger brush.
The red and green thingies are navigation lights. It shows whether the ship is coming toward you or not and helps determine its aspect ratio. You are correct in thinking they're also what are on airplanes. In the dark, a green light on the left and red on the right means the plane/ship is approaching you. If all you can see is the red one, that's the left side of the ship/plane, and more than likely they are traveling from right to left. French toast, please.
You could've saved yourself a lot of trouble by building the air-line model! xD Seriously though...the waterline versions have the benefit that you can push them around on the bed, while making ship-noises! Caught you off-guard with that one, eh? 🙂
The red and green spots are in fact navigation lights. They tell you what side of the ship you are on. I always remember the simple phrase, red on the right when returning. It let me know on what side of the ship I need to be when returning to port.
I can’t even lie, it’s probably been around 7 years since I built a model and watching your videos made me get back into it. Thanks for breaking my bank account I appreciate it!
the reason why she has so many boats is to have enough for her entire crew, also the red and green lights are navigational lights so other ships can see each other at night, red is port and green is starboard, hope this helps out buddy!
19:39 red left, green right. used to determine the direction of travel and indicates how to cross path if necessary. if you see green, the ship goes left to right...
LETS GO BOXMAN POSTEDDDDD ive never done a model before but watching your stuff makes me want to get into it. its just really a big hobby full of different options i have no specialty in. thanks man. :)
I don’t have a 2 litre dr pepper but the thingies you painted are the side lights. These are navigational lights that are only visible from certain angles so that during night time other vessels can determine in which direction you are sailing, starboard is always green and port side is red. Actually I‘m not sure if they used to be actual lights back then but at least that’s what they evolved into.
19:35 These are navigation lights. Green means starboard and red mean port. They are used to help ships around you to figure out what direction you are traveling at night.
i thought you'd have like hundreds of videos i didn't expect this channel to be this new xD i dont know much about ships or modelbuilding but i love these videos keep em up
This is the first time watching your channel and I usually watch model building/painting to fall asleep to but your commentary is so hilarious, I have to actually watch it instead of sleep to it.
Reason for alot of boats - fuel savings. It also fills alot of free space that otherwise would been used for field crop production or drying you mothers underpants. Red and green light - If the harbour is full, you need to take your second best choice and land on the airfield. First choice id say would be a harbour that fully appreciate your beautiful ship and welcome all the STDs, drugs and money that you'll bring. Tip for rigging - Say you did it and don't do it. Like brushing teath or washing hands. All joked aside; I'd switch tamiya panel liner for newtons black oil paint. I find i easier to work with. Nice vid. Keep em commin.
She's definitely one of the most underrated Fast Battleships along with the Scharnhorst Sisters and Richelieu (didnt think I'd see a comedy modeltuber but im fine with this) 19:37 those are navigation lights for night, there still used today
I really like italian design of the turrets and those red/white stripes ever since playing andrea doria in navyfield. I love them on Giulio cesare the most
The red and green lights at the sides of the boat are indicators for starboard and portside, useful for reconising the ship at night, or for nocturne maneuver inside ports. Nice build and video btw :)
I love modeling and really like to watch other skills on YT. Boxman, you are the best! I was laughing through the whole video. I Cannot wait to see more. Build the HMS Victory lol!
For handpaints, I urge you to use AK 3rd GEN paints! They are perfect for the brush but suck ass in the airbrush. On the other side I use Vallejo AIR oaints for the airbrush. Grüße
As an Italian I can tell you why it had so many boats. The Littorio had one of the largest pizza ovens ever built on board. The pizzas were delivered from the many boats during the war, regardless of who ordered them (Soviets, Germans, French, etc.). This boosted the Italian budget so that the war could be financed. Unfortunately, resources became scarce and the Littorio could no longer be supplied with enough flour. The delivery service therefore had to be cancelled. Love your videos, always watch them when I am massacring models myself. Only question I have: What happend to your voice, compared to the first 2 videos? Inhaled too much glue?
For painting stripes, the first layer is the only one that can leak under the masking (it seals the masking) try paint white, mask, paint white, paint red, pull up mask (have a sharp knife to help avoid chipping) or if you're me 1) Paint white 2) Decide to mask the stripes next session 3) Never build up ambition for next session because the need for masking is staring you in the face 4) Realize months later you lost half the bits for the model and just throw the whole thing out 5) pull the next model out of the stash (This model will also end up in the trash)
It genuinely makes me so happy to finally see someone build models the way I do 😂 your channel is worthy of challenging the greats and in no time plasmo will be begging for a cross over event

If you built it waterline you'd have the extra parts (the lower hull) to make the airline model, meaning you'd have two complete models of the ship!

the red and green lights are navigation lights. More or less helps depict which way the ship is going at night
The trick to hand painting is to thin your paints until it's the consistency of milk, then paint up to 3 or 4 coats. It's annoying, but it works.
I was sitting yesterday and words "capillary action" rattled in my mind, and boom, boxman video is up
took an engineering exam and there was a question about capillary action and i answered it thanks to my boxtard knowledge

Reason for alot of boats - fuel savings. It also fills alot of free space that otherwise would been used for field crop production or drying you mothers underpants.
Red and green light - If the harbour is full, you need to take your second best choice and land on the airfield. First choice id say would be a harbour that fully appreciate your beautiful ship and welcome all the STDs, drugs and money that you'll bring.
Tip for rigging - Say you did it and don't do it. Like brushing teath or washing hands.
All joked aside;
I'd switch tamiya panel liner for newtons black oil paint. I find i easier to work with.

For painting stripes, the first layer is the only one that can leak under the masking (it seals the masking)
try paint white, mask, paint white, paint red, pull up mask (have a sharp knife to help avoid chipping)
or if you're me
1) Paint white
2) Decide to mask the stripes next session
3) Never build up ambition for next session because the need for masking is staring you in the face
4) Realize months later you lost half the bits for the model and just throw the whole thing out

I dig the green and the big stripes on the italian ships. Very distinctive.
Sealing the bugs in the ships is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while! 😂
Also the flip flopped flag part 😂😂😂
