    I’m currently building the USS New York and it’s my first attempt with a kit with so much photo etch. Some of it came out well while some fair.

    Great looking build! I have a very personal attachment to the Texas. My Uncle was the Navigational Officer and was there at D-Day. I was able to have some interesting talks with him about D-Day.

    I really enjoyed the video. I have this one in my stash and now I want to get it out and have a look. My son and I toured the Texas 15 or so years ago. It was suffering badly from rust below the water line. It was moved to dry dock last summer for repairs. It's great its being saved.

      @@Johnbuildsiconic they are having some glitches right now on exactly when they are going to move her. Its about a 3 hour flight for me . If they finally get this set in stone I can make all of the arrangements for flight car and hotel room. Planning on visiting for a couple of days to tour the battlefield memorial also.

    Thank you for doing her justice, what a beautiful job you did. She's the only dreadnought left in the world and I've walked her decks many times.

    I have both this and the New York sitting on the shelf, waiting to be built. Sentimental reasons, I was born in New York, and I live in Houston, Texas, not too far from where the Texas is currently moored. Soon, she will go into dry dock for repairs to her hull, and then be moved to a new permanent berth, somewhere near Houston.

      I’ve not long ago watched the day dock arrive, I’m really pleased the Texas will be around for many more years to come

    Interesting concept on the paint job, very creative and thoughtful.
    Don't know much about waterborne craft and was intrigued as to what happened to the original craft. Was delighted to see her still afloat.
    Nice etch work on the model too 👌

    The national ensign goes at the stern just like all the Bristish ships. But, what a great job, thanks for a swell video, I enjoyed it.

    Is that glue you are using the paint brush with in the beginning or something else? I have an issue with glue dollops so wondering if you are using the brush to spread or even glue out or for something else?

    • @Johnbuildsiconic
      @Johnbuildsiconic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, I just like the control I get from using a longer brush to apply the glue

    • @Johnbuildsiconic
      @Johnbuildsiconic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      hi my friend, i just use cheap brushers for the plastic glue, that you get with painting by numbers sets, so after i day or so of glueing, i just use a new one
