The Iowa class had a troopship conversion idea for the back deck, leaving her with only the two front turrets. What if this was done with the Montana Class? Longer hull, so more space for say the flight deck hangar for the heli's & V22's, plus giving the engine room, back the Iowa size. How would that look?
OMG! 😆 Who knew what a soap opera this would be! I’ve learned more about Ryan and the gang in this 48 mins than I have in watching 3 years of the channel❣️😅 Much love guys. This was fun. 👍🏼
I started following the USS New Jersey channel when they were heading to dry-dock at the beginning of the year. Ever since, I have throughly enjoyed the knowledge that Ryan has shared since I started watching that channel. Now today, this video was recommended by YT. I had no idea Ryan was into Lego. I got into Lego about 6 years ago after finding out about the military/aerospace niche that exists in the 3rd party Lego market and I have been hooked ever since. It takes me back to plastic models as a kid in the 1970s.
Loved it guys, congratz! Also hats off to the designer. Can't wait to see Ryan's modifications to make this one even more accurate to the original than it already is.
Your other Lego ships look cool too. On your shelves I see you have the Bismarck, Yamato, Hood, Warspite, King George V, Richelieu/Jean Bart, Enterprise/Yorktown/Hornet, Arizona, and other classic WWII warships.
It always comes back to bricks with Adm. Szimanski! It's like he's a normal guy who likes to work with his hands and build stuff but doesn't want to go crazy with ultra-details OR get high AND poisoned on paint and glue fumes! I like LEGO stuff, too. It's the styrene models I know would drive me nuts! Oh well... I'll still get that "USS New Jersey/BB-62" ball cap in the near-future. I just added USS Coral Sea/CV-43 to my collection! I'm eventually going to get ball caps for all the carrier museums plus a few significant "hero" ships (Coral Sea and Kitty Hawk already received in the mail, USS Ranger/CV-61 and USS Enterprise/CVN-65 future buys) that weren't preserved.
Looks pretty cool! I built the 1/200 scale USS Iowa by Trumpeter a little over a year ago. Now THAT was a project that took me an entire year to build.
My first exposure to any build of this size or detail! This caught my interest because of subject and both of you held my interest. Not a model builder but this is fantastic!
I have the Cobi Iowa 4 in 1 ship on order, planning to build her as New Jersey. I keep tabs on the Big J thanks to their TH-cam channel, always learning something new about the battleship. This Lego set of New Jersey is amazing, too big for my small house and budget lol. Nice job guys.
Extremely apropos "ooooooo" sounds at 15:04 and 15:09, at first I thought they were added sound bites for the awesomeness of the hull and deck assembly, now I'm thinking you live near a rail line...
I have visited the Battleship NJ (many times), and I enjoyed every visit. Thank you for preserving a piece of American (and New Jersey-an) history! Edit: I forgot to add that my favorite part was the brig :)
Looking forward to seeing your follow up with Ryans mods. Cause one day I am gonna try and tackle this model, and seeing as how the New Jersey is the only Iowa ive seen, I’d like to make it into her configuration
This is great! Very fun and funny video and wow what a build. She's a beaut! My own goal is to build a 1/200 scale Trumpeter Iowa model kit one day but my wife says I have to find a place to display it that isn't in the living room. 🙄
In a smaller scale (1/300) the battleship models of COBI from poland are 1a class in quality and price! I own the "BISMARCK" and it has a prominent place in my appartement.
I’d suggest HMS Belfast and Titanic could go with the Irish link as both were built in Belfast so could build them / release the video on St Patrick’s Day and if felt appropriate, do the build while consuming Guinness
I've heard some rumors that the US Navy is going to reactivate a Battleship, by no later then 2026. I've also heard it will either be the New Jersey or the Wisconsin. Plus, I've heard that the US Navy is looking for 16 inch ammunition, and using the guns on the Iowa for loading practice. And since the New Jersey went into dry dock this year, or late last year. I wonder whats going to happen next :) Just some things I've heard.
Unfortunately, it's unlikely to happen for two reasons: we don't have the shipyard capacity to do the work (while already struggling to build and maintain carriers) and battleships require too many (about 1,500) sailors. Their engineering plants alone require nearly twice as many sailors than the entire crew of a new DDG. Any effort to reactivate a battleship by 2026 would need to have started by now. Between Ryan's Battleship New Jersey channel and Bearing Straight, we'll keep everyone posted on developments. I wish the news about our industrial base was better. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
A couple years ago I built a personally designed and built 6 foot long USS Iowa. Due to piece limits I could not build all the details but it was fun to construct.
Yes, on YT. It's epic. Love the depiction of the 2 SEP 45 surrender ceremony, including a top hat for the Japanese foreign minister! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! To answer your question, Jack recommends this tutorial: th-cam.com/video/YUbuepHXctk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bq5aXviPuxEDn_em ... We hope that helps.
@@BearingStraight LOL!!! I posted that during the video but to be fair, you and Ryan do get a pass because as explained later in the video, you weren't building a New Jersey, you were building a 1945 Missouri. I didn't know a 1945 Missouri would have 40mm emplacements on both T2 and T3. You may retrieve your card at the desk on the way out😎
The last thing I need in my life is to buy more Legos (I'm buying 4 more sets and then I'm done for now and I've run out of shelf space), but now do you actually get the bricks one you have the files?
Thanks for watching. The link is in the video's description: www.brickvault.toys/products/uss-iowa-bb-61?srsltid=AfmBOooegf7aVgMoxWOZUmeYYsR0A6916vnH1WY6EdOK1JDIvR7dKM4S
Unfortunately the next WW will turn nuclear and well before the 90 days for Ryan & crew to remove items from the battleship war every country will be in long term ruins with very few people surviving.
Thank you for watching! The link to the instructions is in the description and is available from BrickVault.

How would that look?
Who's the bigger geek? The geek building a Lego ship or the geek who watches another geek build a Lego ship? 😂
😂😂
We are
I’m here for engineering techniques. Yeah that’s it that’s what I’m going with…….
The geek that is building a Lego version of the ship that he baby sits all day
The correct answer is YES!

Reminds me of the good old days, have a positive comment for the algorithm
Oh that is a great model! would love to see it next to the Lego Titanic set, as it is the same scale.
A long form video with Ryan about the BB-62? YES!!!!!!!!
Loved it guys, congratz! Also hats off to the designer. Can't wait to see Ryan's modifications to make this one even more accurate to the original than it already is.
The elephant in the room is much larger than I expected it to be.

Others are Cobi Ships you can simple buy. It is not lego....it is better
What a model. 😊

Logos and battleships are awesome. Very cool
Great job, Guys and Libby! 👍 Can’t get enough of BB-62!
Looks pretty cool!
I built the 1/200 scale USS Iowa by Trumpeter a little over a year ago. Now THAT was a project that took me an entire year to build.
She´s really amazing !
I wish I can build lego ships like that but I have to do small ones because I build my ships under budget
Next, can we see Libby build a Lego 16" shell in 1/1 scale?
Solid!
Top KEK!
Peace be with you.
Awesome! This is on the list. The Navajo and Atlanta are great too.

Bloody hell I don’t feel so bad it looks like my rc car room 😂😂😂😂😂. After the marriage of top and bottom they just stop and are speechless 😂😂😂
Is love one of these! Would look great next to the official Lego Titanic set

Fantastic video! I’m hoping we get a SoDak model down the road as I’d love to see Alabama in this scale.
I have a question: when you bought the manual, does it show how to build other versions of the Iowa class brothers or do you need to buy it again?
In a smaller scale (1/300) the battleship models of COBI from poland are 1a class in quality and price!
I own the "BISMARCK" and it has a prominent place in my appartement.
I’d suggest HMS Belfast and Titanic could go with the Irish link as both were built in Belfast so could build them / release the video on St Patrick’s Day
and if felt appropriate, do the build while consuming Guinness

cool i want it
nice
A warship made with Lego, Lego must be punching air right now
I WANT THIS SET SO BAD ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY AND HE GOT ONE AHHH ITS SO UNFAIR
If those are Lego pneumatic hoses you’re cutting it is not an illegal technique Lego has you do that in some of their kits
Now, can we get a 1 to 1 scale Lego model of battleship New Jersey? 🤔
I have the Cobi Missouri model. Bit it's just the Missouri
More Ryan? Don’t mind if I do!
A couple years ago I built a personally designed and built 6 foot long USS Iowa. Due to piece limits I could not build all the details but it was fun to construct.
RMS Titanic and HMS Belfast, both built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast.
By 10 minutes in, it escalated quickly
Have you seen the 25 foot long, 1 million piece battleship Missouri.
If not, the TH-cam site search term: Huge LEGO WWII Battleship USS Missouri
Yes, on YT. It's epic. Love the depiction of the 2 SEP 45 surrender ceremony, including a top hat for the Japanese foreign minister! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Are the stones sorted in the bags ?
Wife and i did lego titanic, that was long to lol
Are these kits you can buy?
Lol, id make those into a board game of sorts.
It's awesome seeing ryan being "not" the curator of the battleship NJ. He really needs to be a guess on the unsubscribed podcast
Hmm. They forgot the pool...
any chance there'll be a tutorial for ordering pieces on Bricklink?
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! To answer your question, Jack recommends this tutorial: th-cam.com/video/YUbuepHXctk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bq5aXviPuxEDn_em ... We hope that helps.
... BTW, the TH-cam channel is AFOL TV ... The video's title is "How to Order LEGO on Bricklink! [Tutorial - Save Money!]"
Um, are you actually using Lego's or Cobi?
Titanic took me about 40 hours of building, so I laughed when Ryan said something about "one weekend".
Oh nooo 40 hours, bro this shit done properly with scale models will take 3-4 years…
@16:15 Jack's "Naval Historian" card is summarily revoked!!!! The offense? Installing T2 in T3's barbette!
Whew! Getting rough out here. RR
@@BearingStraight LOL!!!

This is the same scale as the lego architecture notre Dame and the ucs Eiffel Tower and Titanic.
Meanwhile...back at Szismanki manors....
"Szimanski Batcave" to Civilians!!!!
Who’s the bigger geek a guy building a Lego version of a ship of the guy who works on the actual ship?
Wait! Seems we've heard this one before. Hmmm ... Thanks for watching and commenting!
I hope you didn't pay full price for that dog!😋
The last thing I need in my life is to buy more Legos (I'm buying 4 more sets and then I'm done for now and I've run out of shelf space), but now do you actually get the bricks one you have the files?
Where can i get this dope lego set via online
It's amazing. BTW, the URL is in the video's description. Thanks!
C'mon guys, you coulda at least 3D-printed some accurate propellers ... :P
Awesome build!
Let me get this straight. You sell the instructions for 50 bucks...but dont have a link on where i can get pieces for it? Im sad man
Thanks for watching. The link is in the video's description: www.brickvault.toys/products/uss-iowa-bb-61?srsltid=AfmBOooegf7aVgMoxWOZUmeYYsR0A6916vnH1WY6EdOK1JDIvR7dKM4S
dont drop it
Are these actually made out of Lego bricks not knock offs? If so, that is truly amazing
Please do a video about all the Lego ships
if its from brickbilt i think so
You should be very careful using the name LEGO for other products! The family friendly company will likely sue you for this!
