    Excellent work. Will certainly use your fantastic build as a reference when I take the USS Texas out of the stash.

    I built this kit in 2020/2021. I detailed her as she appeared during the Invasion of France in Measure 22--Navy Blue on the lower hull below the first continuous deck, with Haze Gray above and all decks painted Deck Blue. I also added 3D printed 20mm and 40mm guns. Eduard provides some nice photo-etch to enhance the kit. I really liked how you weathered your model. I saw some techniques that I can't wait to try. Thanks for the nice video.

    looks great, I do 1/32 airplanes and 1/35 scale armor - all the little photo-etch parts for ship railings etc are intimidating for me even in the 1/350 scale! Your USS Texas came out looking really good.

    I really like those pontoons/ rafts at 18:38

    I grew up near the USS Texas. I've always thought it a most beautiful ship. The only remaining survivor of two world wars.
    Back in junior high band, we played ceremonies on the deck of the ship for Texas Independence Day.

    In the late 80s, kids in school in Texas, we collected soda cans to raise money to do one of the many restores on the USS Texas. She needed a lot of work during that time and they did everything to raise money for her.

    I keep coming back to this video as it is simply enjoyable to watch (and each time I realize I need to go over the techniques)...Thanks again.

    The Texas has been painted deck blue (measure 21 camouflage) since 1989, and was painted in measure 21 camouflage in 1944 and 1945 after drydock in the USA before shifting to the Pacific Ocean. Also, since 1989, the hull below the waterline is painted black.

    GREAT job! I'm just now starting on painting mine! Just got the deck down and everything primered.

    Superb job - the final result is incredible. Thanks for all the tips in your video - I still haven't managed to build my first 1/350 ship yet (the Tamiya Prince of Wales).

    I built her sister ship, the New York a few years ago. A really fun kit that has a heck of a lot less small guns to deal with

    really enjoyed this build, nice work on the decks, the effect really came through nicely. I only have one gripe with the kit - the plate lines being a little to thick and pronounced, maybe sand them back a bit. Anyway thank you for sharing and looking forward to your next post - great work

      Yeah! I noticed that on my kit too!. Additionally, where the Blister-Tanks meet the Hull (Fore and Aft) are WAY WAY too pronounced!.
      Good quality kit otherwise!.

    I've been thinking of getting this kit, since I ordered some shirts to support her drydocking. But researching other paint schemes instead of the Measure 21 (overall Navy Blue). At various points throughout her war service, she wore Atlantic Measure 12 Mod, Measure 22 (Sea Blue and Haze Gray), briefly wore Measure 31 dazzle, then her current Measure 21. 21 is just too "plain" for my taste.

    • @kevindrechsel9751
      @kevindrechsel9751 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I saw a picture of her in Measure 22 and I think that would look sharp.

    • @Milner62
      @Milner62 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thing to keep in mind her appearance changed throughout the war from changes to AA armament and radar. The kit if you can get past the inaccurate hull is showing her latest configuration in the war so only the last two measures she was painted in would be "correct" if you are seeking accuracy. Otherwise you can go with any measure.
      I personally was looking at the D-day scheme as that was used all the way up till she was transfered to the Pacific. I'm also looking at doing a Pacific diorama off the coast of California where her deck logs indicated she was refueling a destroyer at 6 kt.

    Fantastic work as usual, but the hull plating seems strange; are those thick seams accurate?

    yeah that was well worth the wait - very well done. Looking forward to your next project - I like a bit of German myself. Just as an aside, have you got or had a look at the new Trumpeter 1/350 DKM H Class BB at all? I just got mine and its very nice - HUGE, but nice. Best thing is, you can go to down on a camo as its was only ever a paper ship, so the choice is endless really.
    Keep up the great videos!

    Nice job! What paint/color did you use for the navy blue?

  • @Peter-vl9fz

    Excellent weathering skills. I dont understand why the enamal thinner doesnt interact with the underlying paint, when you are smearing the little dots of paint for weathering on the hull.

    • @paulburgess3088
      @paulburgess3088 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Because the underlying paints are coated with an acrylic clear coat. Enamel thinners (turpentine) does not react with the acrylic clear.

    I love how you did this one. What happened to your Prinz Eugen video? I was referencing that one for my own model of her.

    I have a question about this I want to get this model but I want to know how much weight I need till it gets to its water line if you know please tell me because I want to try to make this be a ship that can go in real water.

    I don't believe the National Flag goes on the bow. Union Jack goes there.

    • @bobgasm1471
      @bobgasm1471 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      True..the National Ensign is flown at the aft staff while at anchor or in port, it is flown from the main mast while underway
