Sorry for the horrible sound!
I have a playlist with all the builds on this project so far....
• USS Enterprise Project...
I have the same kit. However I could not do what you have done.Its fantastic you are a credit to us all. Respect to a master model maker
I don't know about master ... slightly better than average, maybe. You CAN do it, or much of it. Just do what I did. That's why I made the video. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comments. Happy Modeling!
Awesome video and build!! Have built this kit way back in those ancient days of the 1970s as a kid. Built it again in the late 1980s. Built again sometime in mid-1990s. And will build it again now that USS ENTERPRISE has been decommissioned.
Wow, given you've built it several times, your compliment really means something. Thanks for the view and the kind comments.
That is not a model. That is a work of art. 👍
Glad you like it. Thank you for the kind comments.
Awsome Job! With patience and determination the results speak for themselve's👍
Coming full circle...I'll be putting all the aircraft, vehicles, and crew in place in the coming months. Thanks for the view and comment.
You are the man!
USS Enterprise CVA(N)-65
My dad served on the ship in Vietnam and it seems like nobody knows its original namesake.
The "A" was for attack, but I'm sure you already knew that.
Also wonderful work and thank you, my dad would be proud!
Thank you so much for your comment. That really means alot to me. The history is important to me. Hope you’ll check out the rest of the project playlist. Thanks again.
wow! awesome build and paint for the old classic revell kit. lots of great scratch building and PE add-ons to the big E. i'm glad you built a 60's version when she was in her prime. i'm going to build a 60's version of the kitty hawk CVA-63, circa 63, 64 when my dad served on her. thanks for the vid, very inspiring.
Thanks. The A-4s are on the work bench right now. Stay tuned. Now that winter is approaching I'll be spending more time building.
I love this model kit. My dad built it for me when I was in first grade. A couple of years ago I built it for my son with the only upgrade being the same decal kit you used. Your build is insanely detailed, I love it!
Thanks for the kind words. Two 1/72 RA-5C Vigilantes of RVAH-1 Smoking Cats are on the workbench now.
Hope you’re getting your son into the hobby. Don’t know his age but years ago my youngest built a simple 1/1200 USS Constellation. Would be a great kit to start with. See here. www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery/cv/cv-64/1200-jkd/index.htm
Good Luck.
@@mightyjjk1298 my son will be 13 at the end of the month. He simply doesn't have any interest in building models despite being raised with them hanging over his head.
Nice job! Going to build mine in circa 1972 to use some spare F-14 Tomcats
Thanks for the view and kind comment. Hope it helps with your build. Good Luck and hope you'll post a video when you're done. Thanks again.
@@mightyjjk1298 first update posted yesterday
@@lizard869 , I saw that. Looking good. A few tips, if you don't mind: Wait until you're completely done to do your decals; and lay down a coat of clear acrylic (especially over flat paints), like Pledge Floor wax, with a brush where your decals will go and let it dry for a day before you lay down the decals. Decals adhere and look best when laid down on a very smooth surface. You should be able to find the Pledge Floor Wax in the cleaning products isle of your local grocery store. Keep up the good work and keep posting progress, and I'll keep watching. Feel free to ask any questions as you go along. I'm so happy to see a young person like yourself getting into this great hobby. Good Luck!
@@mightyjjk1298 just added the hanger deck and will begin painting the runway area
@@lizard869 , Good progress. More tips: Take your time. Use scissors on masking tape to get nice straight edges. and carefully use the masking tape around the engraved landing area markings. Wait until the paint is semi-dry/tacky before pulling up the tape. I can't stress enough...take your time. Its not a race. It's about accuracy, not speed. You will be happier with the results in the end. Keep up the good work. And feel free to ask any questions as you go. Good Luck.
Fantastic build , John. Great job. 👍
Oh my gosh...thanks so much for going back and checking this out. My very first TH-cam video and it's so obvious. Proud of the build, but not so much the quality of the video. Yeah, built that back in 2012 and been adding planes to it ever since. Thanks again.
That was truly amazing, I recently watched a guy on TH-cam build a 1:200 scale model of the Yamato & I thought that was finicky but that was on a whole different level of tiny, well done.
Thank you. That was the first video in the project....I am just finishing up the last 1/72 aircraft (UH-2C Helo) then I'll go back to the ship and finish it with vehicles, crew, and final placement of all the aircraft. Thanks again.
Great job I did just a little less work than you did,100s of hour's, then my 13 y/o placed two M-80s next to her to simulate a nuke strike.
Impressive build. Respect!
Well done 👍
Great build! Nicely done.
I only thing I recommend is adding some weathering, those aircraft carriers usually have bit of rust after being at sea for long periods of time
When I finish all the aircraft (see my other videos) then attach them, the vehicles and the crew, I'll do some weathering. Thanks for the interest and advise. Stay tuned.
MAN I HOPE YOU MAKE MORE MODELS AND VIDEOS NICE JOB ON ALL OF THEM
Wow you're really doing the work on this kit! Looks great!
I'm building this kit right now, completely out of the box so very simple! I bought it mainly for nostalgic reasons (my dad built a similair Revell kit when I was a kid) and to see if I'd like to build a ship. I might go for a bigger scale of an aircraft carrier at some point.
Oh yeah, I think you should get a pop cap for your microphone! Would do wonders for the sound quality of your vids. :) Just a thought.
Hope all is going well on your build. I'm working on the E2-A right now. Larger scales cost more $ and take-up more space, but are easier for our old eyes and fingers to deal with. Good Luck. FYI; this video was done with old equipment, and with MS Movie Maker. I have a Mac now, a better mic now, and just taught myself how to do noise reduction/volume adjustments in iMovie; So things have improved and will get better. Thanks for the feedback, and for the kind comments. Happy Modeling. Hope you post the results of the ship.
@@mightyjjk1298 Unfortunately I made a bit of an error while constructing, since I painted the lower and upper hull first and only then glued them together. It isn't a perfect fit though, so it needs some adjusting and perhaps even some spruegoo to get it right which means my painting so far has been for nothing. Not done with this kit though, I'll get back to it.
The biggest problem right now it is freezing cold in my buildingroom! So I suspended all build activities for a while. ;) Currently working on a 1/48 BF-109 E3. Usually WW2 is more my gig so when I run in trouble that's my safespace to return to.
Good stuff on the sound quality! Proper video editing is really an art I found out, so good to see you it is working out for you!
Cheers,
Dan
@@BoJack_HorseFly85 I have one of those Delongi oil radiators in my office, which is over my garage. Keeps it toasty. Have them at Costco and Amazon.
@@mightyjjk1298 might be a good idea! I do have an electric heater there but it's a fairly big room and the heater takes up quite alot of energy so I'm a bit reluctant to turn it on for more than half an hour.
really awesome job!
Hey all, FYI I just posted the A-4 Skyhawks build video and I’m asking everyone to let me know what they’d like to see for what I build next. Go see it at my channel and cast a vote in the comments section of that video. Thanks and Happy Modeling!
I LIKE THE JETS WITH TWO REAR FINS BUT YOUR JETS LOOK SO REAL I I REALLY WITH I HAD MORE MONEY AND SPARE PARTS TO DO SOMETHING DETAILED
i plan to order the kit. And combine her with the Cosmo Norm and make the Terran-Galactic Alliance Military Forces Enterprise. Some time in the next two months
Why does the model say to make the bottom black even though it should be red?
Not sure, but model building instructions are often wrong. That’s why you should always use independent references.
I built a Revell Saratoga CV-60 about 60 years ago and just didn't personally like the red. I thought it was too distracting for a model that wasn't a waterline model. So I painted the hull grey and, below the water line, black. It's "not prototypical", but it made for a nice clean look. It sort of put that bulk of the bottom of the hull more out of mind and focused the eye on the superstructure.
it is a great video and i wanted to give it a like but i could NOT hear a word you said !!!!!
I know! My first few videos were with a crappy mic and I didn’t know what I was doing. Thanks for watching. The rest of the series gets better, I promise. Hope you check it out. A-3s are in weathering right now.
Hey how are you? Can I send you a question again about the build? I didn't had the time last time we spoke due to working and changing from place haha. I'm going to paint the deck next week but I don't know how to start with the black and white lines? Can you share us some tips? Stay safe pal!
Wash the parts with dish soap. Then paint the deck black first. Let that dry. Then mask around he lines etched in the deck part. Like it looks at 20:13 in the video. Paint the masked out white lines with the center line yellow & white. When that’s dry mask over that and the entire deck up to the edges. And paint the edges hull gray color.
@@mightyjjk1298 So if I'm correct u painted the white and yellow stripes on the deck? Or should I buy the decals and wait for them to arrive?
Nicky Louwagie, No I used decal for all stripes. I highly recommend the star fighter set.
Please build the USS Long Beach CGN- 9 flagship to the Enterprise 1973/1977
Joe, Thanks for the view and kind comment. I've actually thought about it. I want to finish all the planes first, but yeah, maybe down the road. Thanks again.
Have you built it to look like it did in the mid 80’s?
I was/am working from GRS video taken by crew on the 68 cruise. I think the bow 65 may be the solid one, etc. I'll get back to the ship/deck pretty much as the very last step, after all the aircraft, vehicles and crew are done. Then, I'll make any last corrections, weather (lightly) the planes, vehicles, ship and deck; and glue all of the above in final position. That's going to be years down the road at the pace I'm going.
If you are aware of anything that needs correcting, I want to know. As you saw in the F4 Fix video, historical accuracy is important to me.
Thanks for the interest.
MightyJJK I served aboard the Marine Detachment on the USS Dwight D Eisenhower CVN-69 from May 87-89. Started getting back into model building the past few years.
Dogs of WAR, Thanks for your service. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help.
Do you know where I can buy the Decal stripes for the landing deck because they're not included in the box that I ordered?
Star fighter Decals kit 700-101 on the Starfighter-Decals.com website is specifically for the Revell Enterprise kit. And you can get stripe decal sets at Microscale.com.
Could You share de sizes, like lenght, wide and hight?
It is 19 inches long. About 5 inches at the widest. And overall about 5 inches tall, with the tower being 2 1/2 inches of that from the deck to tip top. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Would you ever build one for commision?
I might if the subject was interesting. I still have 5 more aircraft on the Enterprise project. I have tentative plans to build a helicopter for Gary Schreffler, purveyor of GRS videos. He was consultant to Revell for model of his helo with his name in the decals. Lord knows I owe him as his videos are a modeler’s dream.
Hey bro. I just bought the USS 1/720 Enterprise from Revell. I don't have all that fancy stuff like you. I only use my brushes/ paint/ pva glue and decal solution. Can I also build it or not?
Absolutely you can! My only suggestion would be to use spray cans for the red, and gray, ie, the largest surface areas. But instead of after-market decals, you can just mask tape around the etched in landing area outlines and brush those white with a white and yellow center line down the middle. It’s a good kit to build “ out of the box”. And if you check out my plane builds, you’ll see Im building them pretty much “ lout of the box”. I just took this ship as far as my predetermined budget, imagination and meager abilities allowed. (I already had the Indy kit and decided to canablize it rather than build it). Good luck on your build and feel free to ask any questions you might have along the way.
@@mightyjjk1298 Can I also do those area's with brushes? I prefer the "old fashioned " way haha. And as for the stripes on the deck: did u first painted the gray area or did u first painted the yellow/ white area? also: have you used any primair colour or not? Because for my Millenium Falcon and Airbus A360X I used primair (this is only my 3rd build I make).
Because I don't have those white and yellow stripe Decals included is this normal or not?
Nicky Louwagie, you can paint the entire model by brush if you want. It will just take longer. The Order would be: lower hull red. Deck black or dark gray, edge of deck and island lighter gray. Then the landing area outlines white then center line yellow and white. Good Luck.
NEXT TIME YOU UPLOARD A VIDEO THE VOLUME NEEDS TO BE FIXED ITS TO LOW
DID THIS KIT COME WITH JETS ?
While the kit came with aircraft, they were poor representations. I am making the planes separately; using Trumpeter after-market kits. See the other videos on my channel. I''m making all the aircraft in 1/72, then the 1/720 ones, so when I'm all done I'll have the ship with its planes (and service vehicles) in the middle, surrounded by all the aircraft from CVW-9/1968 in 1/72. A-6 is done; F-4s are done; working on the A-4s now. Stay tuned. Thanks for the interest.
Make sure you go to the MightyJJK channel for the plane videos. JK Tac Shot is my channel related to sport shooting.
AWESOME THANK YOU FOR INFO I REALLY LOVE THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER SHIPS I DONT HAVE MUCH TO SPEND BUT AT LEAST I KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FOR MY FIRST SHIP BUILD I HAVE LOVED PLASTIC MODELS MY WHOLE LIFE AND HAVE BUILT MANY I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED A AIRCRAFT CARRIER SO THATS MY PLAN TO FIND ONE I CAN AFFORD AND I WILL BE BUYING IT AROUND BEGGINING OF APRIL I WISH I COULD GET THE 1/350 TAMIYA ENTERPRISE CAUSE ITS LARGER BUT I MIGHT HAVE TO GO FOR 1/720 USS KITTY HAWK BUT ANY WAY THANK YOU YOUR BUILDS ARE AWESOME I LOVE THE DETAIL YOU PUT IN GREAT WORK MAN ILL CHAT MORE AND MIGHT MAKE A VIDEO OF MY BUILD ALSO HAVE A GOOD ONE THANK YOU AGAIN
Kevin Gilchrest, FYI I just posted the A-4 Skyhawks build video. I’m asking viewers/ subscribers to pick my next build.
