[Custerd]

Dang, those look amazing! Almost makes me want to go into 1/200 scale... Almost. Alas, I just don't have room for large scale ships.

[DarrylHolding]

They look awesome! I was planning to start on my Missouri soon, they will be so much better. Thank you

[AlbertD]

Those look great. I'll be ordering a couple of sets in a couple of weeks. I hope you branch out and do more differnt things.

Dang!
I just finished my 1/200 Iowa, and have the Yamato to finish. Too bad the IJN didn't use Oerlikon cannons! They look real nice!

Hi Ben, happy to say I just got my Oerlikon canons and Titanic benches and anchor chair. Seriously good resolution printing. My Titanic passengers are going to be very comfortable. Just a bummer about the 29Euros import tax but what the heck, well worth it, will save me a couple weeks of my life 🤣😂🤣😂 Thanks. Laura

[chrisohara]

These look great Ben. I have ordered a set. 👍

[edg]

Those were great! I'd love a set or two in 1/350.

[edrasa]

ALRIGHT!!! I will be ordering these when I can. Unlike the benches for Titanic which I was too soon for Ja Ja. CEK

About removing resin parts from the sprue, I tried sawing them off with a Hobby saw I used a Dremel all with some form of success but still was breaking bits in the end I converted a old solder iron into a hot knife and the parts all come iff the sprue clean

[modelshipbuild]

I've just begun work on the Iowa so I just ordered a couple of sets. I'm sure one set would have been enough, but I know that I'll f*** up a lot of them so it never hurts to have some spares.

[Pozer]

Wow, more tedious tiny guns! I don't know how you can do it...one reason I avoided building those big beautiful ships is just too many small parts and the rigging...omg! I love watching you do it though.

[darrelld.paveyjr.]

Are they installed on other landing craft of WWII and Dirt Water Navy of Vietnam?

[heathstephenson]

Ben not long after watching your presentation, and I must say great work.
Someone wrote if you are doing them in 1/350 scale.
Well I found a set quite by accident on eBay.

There is a company out there called Bunker Studio, and they do a set of 20mm Oerlikon cannons with the tripod mounted base and with computer sights.

And also do a set of Oerlikons with the tripod mounted base and with the iron sights and with gun crew. And they appear very sharp and very detailed.

And also found a company called Zim Model.
They have produced a 1/35 scale. Quadruple 40mm Bofors comes with a base and fire control unit

Perhaps it might help if you put a thick Towel beneath to prevent parts hitting a hard surface

[davidcrousset]

Ben, very nice indeed. If I may suggest; its probably a lot of work, but it would be interesting to have some of them in their up position maybe? Or just random angles. So they dont look exactly the same. Maybe a separate set of 25 so they can be mixed up. Awesome work, thumbs up!

Fantastic. Put my order in for the Big Mo.
