Hey y’all, thanks a lot for the support, I really appreciate it 😂
One clarification regarding the swastikas, since I’m seeing it come up a bit: Bismarck’s swastikas were painted over prior to her fight with the HMS Hood, which is the version I’m depicting. The paint wore off over time, which is why the swastikas are now visible on the wreck.
According to Bismarck's War Diary, 1307 hours on 22 May 1941:
"Alarm beendet. Anschliessend auf Befehl Flotte Fliegersichtzeichen auf den Türmen und Hoheitszeichen auf Back und Schanz übermalt.
Alarm ended. Subsequently, by the order of Fleet the aircraft identification insignias on the turrets and the national emblems [swastikas] on the forecastle and poop deck are painted over."

Revell doesn’t include any swastikas in the kit, and even the flags are censored, which is a shame, but it’s understandable considering the laws in Germany. I believe other manufacturers like Trumpeter include workarounds that allow you to add them if you desire.

Anyways that’s all, take care.

For 60 years, every plastic model I make looks like a ten-year-old made it.
I really enjoyed this.

The self-deprecating commentary was absolutely the selling point for me with a final result that rivals anything I've ever put together.

When I was a boy - I LOVED - Revell kits, especially the ships, and nothing you can complain about will change that.

[manofthetombs]

Not sure how I got here, but I have to be honest. Fifty plus years ago when I was building models, I never built any ships. I loved fighters, bombers, and cars instead. The level of effort, amount of work, and attention to detail you put into this, makes every single model I ever built feel like my end result was from Matchbox.

Stumbled upon this channel 23 minutes ago. Best darn commentary I've listened to in a loooong time. Script delivery ...aprpvoed.

[cwfarms]

This is one of the best modeling channels I’ve come across.

I started on a Bismarck Kit in 1967. In 2024 I am nearing completion. Hey, it is 1:1 scale!

Great channel. Love the snark.

April 25, 2024 - Like a number of commenters here, I just stumbled on to this channel and I'm very pleased that I did. Before talking about me.. my favorite subject😁 I'll say that I found Boxman's ability to mix valuable information about model building while making humorous comments very entertaining. I actually found this video quite mesmerizing👍👍😊 I built a lot of Revell, Aurora, Monogram etc. kits. You name it, I probably built it. Airplanes, tanks, self-propelled artillery, various kinds of military vehicles. I think the only ship model I made was of the USS Canberra missile cruiser, (named in honor of the Australian WWII cruiser the HMAS Canberra). It turned out pretty well I think. Some of my tank models fell victim to my mental condition 😟of loving to see things blow up using firecrackers. 😁I still have a large envelope containing the instructions and diagrams for most of the models I built in the mid 1950’s.

This is my new favorite modelmaking channel. This style is the antidote I need to the take-things-too-seriously attitude that comes from watching perfect build processes on YT and feeling bad about myself.

when I was a kid, my buddy would bring one of his battleship models over to my house, and we'd go in my backyard with one of my battleships. He'd shoot at mine and I'd shoot at his with our bb guns.
The carnage was epic.

[lukeracer]

Listen, we got 1/700 version, How about we do a 1/1 now

[williamfrazier]

I attempted to build one model in 1954 and made such a mess of it that I never tried again. None the less I enjoyed watching this build and its narration. Thank you.

[louseveryann]

I didn't think I'd watch the whole thing, but I did.

[randallisaeff]

I built Revell's 1/350th scale Bismarck kit in around 1978 or 1979. I had the same issues with the rudder assembly, and I used the same solution -- drill with a knife!! But in my case, I used the awl tool on my Victorinox Swiss Army knife. I love this video, it brings back such great memories. Thank you, Mr. BoxmanBuilds.

[markphilpot]

You are a more meticulous builder than most I have known. I wouldn’t kick yourself as you seem to desire to give life to your models more than just put them together as some do. I would also say, don’t lose this way you have to bring life to what you build and paint. It is more than I could muster. We all have things we excel and that which we do not. This is one you should be proud of.

[markdavis]

Ok I just spat my beer at "my wife and her boyfriend" line😂 Never seen this channel before, now I'm a bloody addict 👍😂

[gsxrsquid]

Any model I ever made was so sad I never finished them. Watching the techniques used here tell me why. Very nicely done.

[tranzdeep]

I love your style, Boxman. It's barely been a minute in and I can already tell you take yourself just seriously enough to take aim at your own flaws and do so with humorous self-awareness.

[TexasBoy]

came for a lecture of a older man, stayed for the video layout, memes, and trash talking, love this.
