1/200 Scale Missouri Build Video 2

This video covers the basic hull assembly and the "tin canning" or "oil canning" process. It's a long one, but it is also going to be a while before I can post another video so I hope you all enjoy it!

I’m not the kind of model builder who builds for realism. With some of the models I’ve build, I have incorporated some painting techniques so the model looks weathered but that’s about it. That said, what you’ve done is next lvl in terms of weathering and realism; at least from my view point. It looks great! It speak to your creativity and sets you apart from average Joe’s like me who would have just primed and painted the hull straight up! Thanks for sharing. I was genuinely inspired.

WOW, it looks AWESOME that being said, one you didn't take in consideration is she was only a year or so in action. The thickness is a lot thicker than on a tin can so these dents would have not been as "tin canned" in August of 1945. These came about more from time than use.
You have done such an AWESOME job that even hated to have to tell you this. Keep it up, I'm LOVING IT!!!! FYI guys, I served on board her in the late 80s and 90s!

Looks amazing and definitely makes a difference in the end. A couple techniques that have helped me with the hull dishing in the past is to prime it with a coat or two and then start on the hull dishing with a curved scraper. Scraping into the primer has really helped with a softer effect instead of going right into pure plastic. I used one of those extra soft pillows with the ripped up foam pieces in it to rest the hull on and it let me position/prop up the hull at all different angles which made it a lot easier to work on. Definitely helps with the scraping when it’s not totally parallel to the table. Looks 👍

IMO the "oil canning" on the hull is stunning and brings ship to life. Kudos! Look forward to seeing the finished and weathered Missouri.

as a former squid, most of the ships stationed in Japan had this effect. the wave action pushes the Skin of the ship into the ribs/internal bracing. we called it "waffle hull" from the obvious reference. if your ship encounters Heavy seas for a prolonged period of time = waffle hull.

You're amazing Ryback, its a shame you're not cooking for us.

[kevinjhonson]

now that looks nice I would never have the guts to take a scraper to such an expensive kit. I switched over to Acrylic paint 2 years ago and i love it and so does the wife, so much less smell and i love how fast it drys.

[andrewgrace]

I like the effects you did, those dents are awesome 👌🏾😸

[reconranger]

Even though you may not be completely happy with the final result, I think your persistence has paid off and it looks pretty darn good. Thanks for sharing, great video.

oil canning, tin canning....
those may be terms for the modelling technique used to replicate the effect.
But the phenomena itself is referred to as HULL DISHING.

It is also generally only noticeable along the font portion of the hull, not the full length. generally around where the Bow flairs our to full hull width.

It is caused by wave action slamming the hull and dishing in the hull plating between the hull's structural support frames.

You mentioned the kamikaze dent. I was glad you did and I'm looking forward to seeing you replicate it. I haven't seen anyone else even try to do that. The oil canning is a great addition that adds a lot of realism to the model. I admire your dedication.

[andersmoore]

This is an incredible model and build. Great job on the “tin caning” and painting.

Ok.. every US warship I visited looked like you could kick your foot right thru the hull... you are correct, the hulls of US warships are dented very much so and very noticeable. I am impressed with your bold attempt to create that realism to your kit....BRAVO ZULU!

[nmdelrio]

The dents are amazing, such so much work and dedication put into them.

[yobeatthat]

First time watching a modelling video and I never realised the attention to detail with putting the dents 👍🏼

[slackjaw]

I really appreciate the research you put into building this representation. It’s about as flawless as your model building. You’re off to a great start. Thus is going to be another awesome build!

[billhuber]

Any project I do never comes out perfect. Outstanding job mister.

[graycloud]

I wrote my name on the bottom of the keel when we were in dry dock once. Your model is looking fantastic.

[gsh]

Great job. That 53" challenge is gonna look great. Thanks for showing all you work. Card scrapping is the best method, your on it. The problem is the divot "depth" is much less and using the massive tools in scale is tough to get the effect. They would be less noticeable but there. Light drags on the scrapper. What a project.

I'm building my first ever ship model rn, aoshima hiryu, and this vidoe got me motivated to do more than just basic work on it! Thank you Midwest model shop!
