I can't even understand the level of patience to do this. Not only is crafting the model to this degree of detail time consuming, but making a stop motion animation video in the process and then editing said video with grade ''A'' quality??? Amazing! If I were wearing a hat, I'd tip it off to you good sir, well done!
I had one of those Revell models of a B-17g almost two decades ago. 147 parts. Tons of dedication. Tons of mess-ups and fixes.. and probably not even on level as the guy's video. Nearly a month and I was on the last steps of finishing it until I lost it all from an angry sister who took it and smashed it in rage.
Tom Grigat : you should be banned from internet. I’ve considered myself being a good modeller... but now...my self esteem is at an all time low😊. But I do love your work, fantastic.
For 23 years l worked full time restoring cars. Add at least 10 more part time. Still it's hard to comprehend the skill and patience required to accomplish this level of detail on that scale. For one thing my hands are no longer steady enough. I just found your channel today. Thank you for sharing this with us.
First of all there is amazing editing, Second This guy added a lot of extra details to the weaponry, engines, control surfaces and also added realistic seam lines and rivets and Third he did this in stop motion which takes about 10 minutes for a few frames. this is the type of work the you never see now days. I cant say anything else except that this is amazing and best if not one of the best videos I have seen on TH-cam.
@@Simon-sv6qe Both are very accomplished, but to my eye the plasmos weathering is a bit over the top compared to the more subtle work shown here. The engine detail is superb as well. Just splitting hairs as both should be justifiably proud of their artistry.
Magnificent job all around. The music, stop motion effect, painting and detailing techniques, absolutely stunning. Perfectly brilliant ending as well. Well done Sir!
Speechless. Build flows seamlessly to the music. I would be most grateful for a short feature describing exactly how you went about the stressed skin and riveting as it seems to bring the final outcome into a glorious tribute to the real thing. I tried replaying those stressed segments, but still none the wiser! Keep up the excellent work.
With my primitive skills I built the similar Academy 1/72 B17G late model with the chin turret. In the modelling world, Tom is a rivet counter. The level of patience to achieve this result is mind boggling. The desire for perfection is off the charts. I'd rate his skill as 15 out of 10!
Thank you very much - but, to be honest, I'm far from a rivet counter. My models have a lot of flaws and mistakes. I enjoy the process of modelling though...
About a decade ago an olive-drab B-17 flew over Hollywood in the course of a long and slow 180 for a landing (Santa Monica? Torrence?) from the west. It was so low I could read the letters and numbers. Simply: Sublime. This build? Same. A B-2 did a Hollywood fly-over about twenty years ago. The earth shook. The sun was blotted out from the sky. Still the B-17 rules the skies. Thank you, Tom.
I've told you before but this warrants another telling, fantastic! It is an unadulterated joy to watch your videos and I freely confess to a childlike excitement when I received notification of this one! I cannot express how much I admire your work and the time you must obviously put in to make these world class videos, we're all very lucky to have you. My sincere thanks.
I am in awe of your attention to detail - the rivet lines and even in the fuselage interior where no one can see. This is scale model building at another level.
@@TomGrigat YOUR RIGHT AND HAVING BEEN A MODELER AT ONE TIME I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT GOES INTO MAKING SOMETHING THAT ONLY THE MODELER CAN APPRECIATE FULLY. MY WORK NEVER WAS UP TO THE QUALITY OF YOURS.
Incredible. I'm in awe at the level of detail you had the patience to do. When I built a Spitfire airplane as a young man, I thought I was pushing the envelope by brushing in gun powder residue on the wings behind the guns, lol. Great video. The best I've ever seen.
I don't build models, but I gotta say this video was incredible! The presentation, videowork, modeling skill, is really exceptional. Thank you for taking the time, and sharing this awesome project of yours! I Really enjoyed it.
Бесподобно!!!! Все на уровне БОГ !!!! Подчерпнул для себя столько полезного, просто слов нет. Отдельно отмечу музыкальное сопровождение! Глубочайшая личная благодарность за возможность увидеть Ваше творчество МАСТЕР.
I made a 1/72 Airfix B17 when I was a kid in the early 1970's. Strangely, the end result didn't look like that. How things change - for the better in this case.
As a tribute to my father’s 56 missions as pilot in WW2, i made one of these. But I researched and fully detailed the interior and exterior. Thankfully dad told me of the markings and tail number of his favorite plane. I even flew on one here in Arizona. Every tube wire and knob is totally accurate in scale, location and color. I made tiny plaques with the names of each crewman at their positions. He never lost a crewman. Additionally i illuminated the interior and all the exterior lights. But the crowning achievement was inserting small electric motors in the engine nacelles. The engine details are still visible. I cut the rudder(tail flap) and gave it just a bit of right rudder. Now it hangs from my grandsons ceiling and with a touch of the battery pack located in the bombay, flys slowly in three foot diameter circles. Congratulations Captain Sorenson, Lieutenant Shaller, Lieutenant Elrod, Lieutenant Sommers and the rest. My family will never forget you. Larry Sorenson Glendale, Arizona
This video was absolutely incredible, I could not believe the precision and detail used to create this model. Music was calming and entertaining. Overall one of the best TH-cam videos I have ever seen
Look at the f14 i built.... u’ll be attempting to suicide after seeing that, luckaly my 1/48 b17F “memphis belle” flying forteress looks alot better then the tomcat....
Sadly looks at 1/144 B-47E with broken tail gun, dents, and half completed and cries, then glared at huge stack of models that haven't been started and terrible USS Missouri model
STUNNING...I have always thought that one complete side of the fuselage should be see thru so that we can see all the detail and work gone into the interior of these kits! BEAUTIFUL JOB GRATZ!
The skill required alone to do this is amazing, but the patience and attention to literally every single little detail is absolutely astounding. I do believe we've found the modern day DaVinci.
Also Tom ich bin ja eh schon von allen Deinen Arbeiten beeindruckt. Aber das hier topt alles!! Der Aufwand mit den Blechstößen hat sich echt gelohnt. Wie Du den Motor im Video zusammengesetzt hast, hat mir richtig gut gefallen. Die Idee mit den Geschützen muß ich mir unbedingt merken. Ich hoffe das werde ich auch, bis ich irgendwann mal meine B17 bauen werde ;-) Der Videoschnitt war mal wieder eine Augenweide. Und die Musik eine Ohrenweide ;-) Ich schaue es mir später noch mal an und lass dann den Ton über meine Sonos laufen. Meine Nachbarn wird's freuen :-D Alles in allem mal wieder ein wahres Kunstwerk!! Video wie auch Modell.
Das freut mich sehr, dass es Dir gefällt - die Blechstöße haben mir noch mal aufgezeigt, dass mir echt noch die Geduld fehlt. Da hätte ich tatsächlich noch ne Menge verschleifen müssen. Aber ich stürze mich halt gerne in die Aktion und lebe dann mit den Erkenntnissen...
Absolutely unbelievable standard of craftsmanship here!! I'm also really pleased to see that Microscale are still around - I used to use their aircraft decals back in the 80s.

A seemingly random suggestion from youtube... And I loved it! I do watch a great deal of WWI & II content so I guess it wasn't totally out of left field, but I haven't built a model in twenty years, back when I was a teenager. This video inspired me to go to my local hobby shop and pick up a few kits and paint so I could build with my 10 year old nephew. And now he loves it! So thanks for that Tom!
And I also have to add; this is one of the the most gorgeous models I have ever seen & I cannot imagine the years of practice to achieve this level of craftsmanship. Well done sir, well done. I work at an aviation museum and we have plenty of models and ironically (I guess?) the best models we have are of ships. Two are aviation related; the USS Wolverine, which was an old, paddle-wheeled coal collier converted to a practice carrier in Lake Michigan (no u boats there!) and the USS Nimitz. My other favorite is of an Iowa-class battleship, the Missouri I believe. I would have loved to see Tom tackle these behemoths, as each model is roughly 3-4 feet long. That in stop motion would have been insane!
WOW!...no words. You have some serious talent, the build was amazing but then to edit and make a video clip like that......priceless! Model gods take notice
For anybody to put that much effort into a project means they love what they are doing, I tip my cap to you sir, you have done what I have always dreamed of doing but never had the will power or patience to do. Great Video
Loved building these when I was younger, never did possess the skills or the patience to be able to do the fine detail work like riveting and drilling turrets. This artist is very talented and does a fantastic job. Very impressive. CGI has gutted this craft for sure.
Kind of like watching Leonardo da Vinci work! Tom, your videos are so entertaining and informative. You are a master in modeling like I've never seen. The music is perfect. You are also a very humble man judging from you commentary. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Well Met Tom! I have been an airplane modeler for decades, My model of the B-17 was destroyed when some punks broke into our house and trashed ALL of my models. M-60 Patton,, Stearman Biplane, USS Constitution ( fully rigged), Space 1999 Eagle, Bren Gun carrier, M1A2 Halftrack, and so much more...
Tom I don't know why I am here, but that to me is art in its finest. Amazing work, all based on a standard model kit. It must take patience and a lot of skill.
I have seen alot of stuff on TH-cam. This was by far the most impressive i have seen on an overall level. The build it self, the stop motion and the music added.👏
Truly impressive! What patience, skill on many levels. Superb model making ability and, apparently, an accomplished stop-motion cinematographer as well!
Absolutely incredible. Working in the aviation industry I'm always a little miffed that there is so much detail that is put into these exquisite models but there are never any little bug splats on the leading edges on these incredible models. Just an observation and in no way being critical. Love your channel!
Very enjoyable. Looks amazing Millions of people sacrificed so much for our freedom today. One man did 104 missions over Germany in these aircraft. Hewitt Dunn 390th BG 13TH Combat Wing 8TH USAAF Superb modelling
don't know which i enjoyed more, the attention to detail of the work or the excellent presentation of the process of that work through the cinematography, well done sir, great craftsmanship!
What a great presentation and you music selection was perfect. My Uncle flew the B17. You honor all the men that flew with your presentation. My Uncles story is on YT as well search “3 Days In May 1943”. Again great job
I am in my fourth year of doing model aircraft and believe me..it gets better. It takes patience and you got to try out new things on scrap plastic or a old plane you first built, and sometimes you got to walk away. Stick with it Benedict builds you will get there!
Just as fascinating as the beautiful attention to detail, is exactly how you managed some of those stop-motion shots.....How you managed to undertake both art forms concurrently to such an incredible standard demonstrates a depth of patience I can only boggle at.
Superb vide and build. I flew on the "Yankee Lady" at an air show and I gotta get one of these kits and do it up like her. They're huge....will have to hang it from the ceiling for sure
Such a beautiful plane. My Grandfather flew one in WW2, and he got to fly a restored one a few years before his death 7 years ago. Excellent plane and an excellent video
I first saw this video about a year and a half ago, and loved it for two reasons. Firstly, I loved it because by then I was already a loyal subscribed viewer of your channel for ages, and enjoyed every piece of content you produced. However, there was a second reason: the music. Since hearing this incredible overture, I have taken a deep dive into classical music. I now regularly listen to the works of all the world's greatest composers, from the Baroque period right up to the Contemporary. I've put on early classical period composers the most, with their typically light and dainty sound (I've found I like it best). However, I always come back to Beethoven once in a while, listening to Leonore Overture No.3, the Fidelio and Coriolian overtures, and of course, the Egmont Overture. Because of this video, I got a fantastic look at extremely well done modeling once more, and a whole new field of music to adoringly jump into. So I thank you for that. Also, if you do see this, perhaps you could see it as a good reason to have more pieces of the like for your videos? Just a tiny suggestion/request, that's all.
Love what you have done to add the metal bits to the plane, the guns, etc., and esp the rigging. Authenticity at this scale does require effort and creativity. Kudos to you man!
a clockmakers job - really cool and awesome vid. No roadlong explanation "I have this and then made that..." really satisfying looking at such a masterpiece!
I can't even understand the level of patience to do this. Not only is crafting the model to this degree of detail time consuming, but making a stop motion animation video in the process and then editing said video with grade ''A'' quality??? Amazing! If I were wearing a hat, I'd tip it off to you good sir, well done!
I know, that's the thing that struck me the most! The sheer patience he exhibits!
Me, I damned near had a panic attack watching the video!
Flash Chrome i would do the same he is so patient
Couldn't agree more with your comments
Thanks a lot for your kind words 😊

Right, that's it. I'm throwing away my modelling stuff and sticking to colouring books from now on.
No, don't do that - enjoy the modelling. For me it's some sort of therapy 😊
No my friend! Modeling is one of the reasons why I did not lose my mind in very bad first marriage. If they help with that, helps for anything!
I will one step behind...no need to work on models anymore....it's a real masterpiece.
Benedict Builds : I’ll join you. This was the final nail in the modelling coffin.

Just was watching your vids then got this in my recommended, weird
Wow.
This has to be the most creative model building video I've ever seen!
Thanks...
If "Hollywood" would apply just half as much attention to detail and accuracy, films would be 200% improved.
@Alejandro Márquez Sure .. with virtual effest planes can flying like fighters in star wars...
That’s kinda of a lie look at the movie Apollo 13 it would’ve been more boring if the astronauts talked and acted the way the did
Gear Challenge unreal
Alejandro Márquez also fuck you this shit is hard to replicate
Yeah and then you'd complain why a movie ticket cost you $300. They can never win so quit expecting them too lol
There is no words to describe the talent you have on assembling the model and editing the video.
Thank you very much 😊
Magnificent job all around. The music, stop motion effect, painting and detailing techniques, absolutely stunning. Perfectly brilliant ending as well. Well done Sir!
I'm glad you like it - especially the ending ;-)
Speechless. Build flows seamlessly to the music.

Thank you very much
I think the stressed skin effect is superb. Such beautiful work!
Agreed..
I have stressed skin but I am old!
That little tool to rivet the skin into place is amazing.
The paintjob looks absolutely dashing! This bomber is a total beauty.
I'm glad you like it...
Ah we have a british chap.
WOW! I can't build a plane without getting glue on the canopy...
Use PVA glue for clear parts. It dries clear.
@@disceva6443 does it stick as good tho
@@Elbowbanditest2003 it sticks perfectly fine. Sometimes I don't even glue the canopy down so I can take it of to look at the interior.
@@disceva6443 OK I will see how it goes
I usually wind up with parts stuck to my forehead...
OK, this is absolutely UNREASONABLE detail for a 1:72 scale model! Wow, amazing!

About a decade ago an olive-drab B-17 flew over Hollywood in the course of a long and slow 180 for a landing (Santa Monica? Torrence?) from the west. It was so low I could read the letters and numbers. Simply: Sublime. This build? Same. A B-2 did a Hollywood fly-over about twenty years ago. The earth shook. The sun was blotted out from the sky. Still the B-17 rules the skies. Thank you, Tom.

Well Met Tom! I have been an airplane modeler for decades, My model of the B-17 was destroyed when some punks broke into our house and trashed ALL of my models. M-60 Patton,, Stearman Biplane, USS Constitution ( fully rigged), Space 1999 Eagle, Bren Gun carrier, M1A2 Halftrack, and so much more...
Tom I don't know why I am here, but that to me is art in its finest. Amazing work, all based on a standard model kit. It must take patience and a lot of skill.
I'm pleased to hear 😊
I have seen alot of stuff on TH-cam. This was by far the most impressive i have seen on an overall level. The build it self, the stop motion and the music added.👏
I'm very pleased to hear 😊 thanks for your kind words
Truly impressive! What patience, skill on many levels. Superb model making ability and, apparently, an accomplished stop-motion cinematographer as well!
Thanks a lot 😊
Absolutely incredible. Working in the aviation industry I'm always a little miffed that there is so much detail that is put into these exquisite models but there are never any little bug splats on the leading edges on these incredible models. Just an observation and in no way being critical. Love your channel!
Thanks a lot 😊
Very enjoyable.
Looks amazing
Millions of people sacrificed so much for our freedom today.
One man did 104 missions over Germany in these aircraft.

Superb modelling
don't know which i enjoyed more, the attention to detail of the work or the excellent presentation of the process of that work through the cinematography, well done sir, great craftsmanship!
Thanks a lot 😊
The amount of work this man puts on these videos is outstanding.
Thank you 😊
Outstanding preparation, construction and painting. The filming is outstanding too!
Thank you very much 😊
What a great presentation and you music selection was perfect. My Uncle flew the B17. You honor all the men that flew with your presentation. My Uncles story is on YT as well search “3 Days In May 1943”. Again great job
I'm pleased to hear 😊
I am in my fourth year of doing model aircraft and believe me..it gets better. It takes patience and you got to try out new things on scrap plastic or a old plane you first built, and sometimes you got to walk away. Stick with it Benedict builds you will get there!
Very impressive, remarkable patience and skill.
Thanks a lot
Just as fascinating as the beautiful attention to detail, is exactly how you managed some of those stop-motion shots.....How you managed to undertake both art forms concurrently to such an incredible standard demonstrates a depth of patience I can only boggle at.
I have got tears in my eyes!!! Wonderful video!! Wonderful model!! Wonderful music!!! Bravo and bravo again Tom!!
Thank you very much 😊
Superb vide and build. I flew on the "Yankee Lady" at an air show and I gotta get one of these kits and do it up like her. They're huge....will have to hang it from the ceiling for sure
Just wow. Fitting tribute to a plane and her crew that we owe so much
BRAVO! That was SO satisfying to watch, and the patience and skill to build this is admirable. Music is great too.
Thanks - I'm pleased to hear
YOU MY GOOD SIR HAVE GAINED ANOTHER SUBSCRIBER! A+ on Modeling and the attention to detail!
I'm pleased to hear 😊 thanks a lot
I just can’t get enough of these videos. I always picture myself building these as they go along but then I’ll stop, laugh and say “Yah Sure”.
Such a beautiful plane. My Grandfather flew one in WW2, and he got to fly a restored one a few years before his death 7 years ago. Excellent plane and an excellent video
Wow! My grandfather was in the 8th AirForce and flew the B-17 over Europe. He would have been amazed by your work.
Incredible attention to detail. To say I'm impressed is putting it mildly.
Thanks a lot 😊
Wow, from the amazing craftsmanship to the great editing. Simply amazing. The music even fit this project.
Thanks a lot
As a digital 3d modeller I always look at these in awe, there's so much that has to go into making a model irl
I don't think, until this very moment, I realized what a magnificent machine the flying fortress was... Bravo!
I first saw this video about a year and a half ago, and loved it for two reasons. Firstly, I loved it because by then I was already a loyal subscribed viewer of your channel for ages, and enjoyed every piece of content you produced. However, there was a second reason: the music. Since hearing this incredible overture, I have taken a deep dive into classical music. I now regularly listen to the works of all the world's greatest composers, from the Baroque period right up to the Contemporary. I've put on early classical period composers the most, with their typically light and dainty sound (I've found I like it best). However, I always come back to Beethoven once in a while, listening to Leonore Overture No.3, the Fidelio and Coriolian overtures, and of course, the Egmont Overture. Because of this video, I got a fantastic look at extremely well done modeling once more, and a whole new field of music to adoringly jump into. So I thank you for that.
Also, if you do see this, perhaps you could see it as a good reason to have more pieces of the like for your videos? Just a tiny suggestion/request, that's all.
Thanks a lot for your kind words and merry Christmas
Great idea with the gun barrels. You learn something new all the time
Amazing job done! B-17 in 2020 still one of the most beautiful planes ever built, so simple in design but so elegant in shape and style.
Love what you have done to add the metal bits to the plane, the guns, etc., and esp the rigging. Authenticity at this scale does require effort and creativity. Kudos to you man!
I'm glad you like my work 😊
Not only are your models exquisitely beautiful, the little stop-motion movies are too!
Outstanding! In every respect! The model! The film! Absolutely flawless!
I'm happy to hear
a clockmakers job - really cool and awesome vid. No roadlong explanation "I have this and then made that..." really satisfying looking at such a masterpiece!
I'm glad you like my way of model making. Thanks
A rare combination of exceptional skills on display here. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks - you're welcome 😊
