Good job! 👍 The Zara is one of my favorite heavy cruisers of WWII. I’m glad someone finally made a model of her. I’m getting this kit for sure! 👍🇮🇹

Italian ships are just beautiful.

They are, and when you can build models of them as well as this guy, you can really show them in their full elegant glory.

He should have put on the music to Victory at Sea with the ships....if the copyright nazis don't hassle him about it.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching you built the ZARA. I myself have been building model ships for over 50 years now. Both Military and full rigged sailing ships. Respectfully, Richard Alden

A SHIP! Finally! Keep mixing it up and Great video Andy!

Hi Andy I'm from the city of Zara (today Zadar Croatia) and it's my favourite ship! I think you've really done her proud. Great job!

The battleship is very nice

A real gem! Thank you for showing and explaining the building process. Fascinating!

I like zara... beautiful lines and nice hull color

Let's get started. I love it. Each time I build my models, I would build away watching you. Keep awesome

She looks great!

Thanks for doing a ship, please do more. Very nice.

Hi Andy,Thanks for your video's Andy. I've been modelling for a long time but my skills have improved dramatically thanks to your techniques. I'm trying photo etch for the first time after this!

Italian ships are amazing. Very handsome to build and have on display.

Amazing work Andy! Love the channel. I am always learning some new things after your videos. It is great to see some different things. It's a blast building different subjects and getting outside my comfort zone.

The Italian warships were some of the best looking made. BUT, everyone should see videos of the interiors. Spotlessly clean, futuristic designed, and ample space for the crew. Using Art Deco furnishings, they looked like cruise ships.

Very nice. Almost no build videos of ships, much less 1/350 scale, exist, so this video is greatly appreciated, especially for the deck/weathering tips. Two complaints however: 1) The number 4 turret barbette (ring) looked like it was still the brown of the deck, and wasn't painted the same grey as the rest of the superstructure. 2) No weathering of the lower hull. Not just here, but many model ships have weathering done to the upper parts, but next to zero done on the underside. I like to mottle my hulls brown and green first, then follow with a thin coat of the hull red. In the case of Italian ships, just brown mottling in two shades would work, followed by the green. All in all, very nice build. I appreciate the use of the Zara kit as, like you mentioned, there were photoetch railings included. Trumpeter kits are pretty good imo for not requiring aftermarket upgrade sets. Tamiya is decent for that as well, but many of the other ship brands (Hasegawa, Fujimi, Aoshima...) require aftermarket sets for railings and such. I would love to see someone build a 1/350 kit with a Pontos upgrade set. Those are insane.

Superb,about to get back into modelling after 30 years,what an inspiring video,thank you so much.

This makes me love Italian ships.

Wow, excellent work! I would put that in a museum, it's so gorgeous!

My uncle Giuseppe have served on this cruiser during ww2. Rely Nice video and very Nice model.

Beautiful job Andy It looked as if you were having alot of fun with it. Thanx for sharing this video

Many thanks for showing us how to create a good wooden deck effect, very useful !!

Holy Ship! i was not expecting this!

Andy thanks for the deck painting tip it looks absolutely fantastic

Fantastic! Now, I'm inspired to build a ship! Thank you Andy!

Liked the bit at the start about basic tools and your advice for dealing with etch. Lots of good info on the build.

Thank you so much for recording this! The ship looks awesome with all the colours!

Good Job Andy! I'm happy to see you do something other than AFV's. I'm just now getting comfortable working with photo-etch, and I have a ship model thatI purchased quite a while ago. Maybe now I'll build it. Hope you continue to diversify and challenge/educate your subscribers with other ships, planes, et al.

Nice build. Well timed for me as I'm moving back to ships at the moment I will have a go at your deck method.

Very nice job ... i can not wait now to get my hands on HMS Belfast finally, same size and brand as this Zara. Looks quite large actually, the paint job of wooden deck and those litle rusty marks here and there gave the model a pinch of spirit. Very inspiring and informative for me. Thank you

Wow! What a result - awesome

I've been binge watching all of the videos and I cannot wait to be able to get to the shop!

Great video with good tips. Thanks.

Love the green hill. Enjoy watching your videos, I really have learned so much watching them.

Great build, the ZARA came out a bit of masterpiece. Very realistic. Verity is the spice of life. I'm interested in what ever kit you build. I learn a lot from each build.

I enjoyed that! Great end result too. Looking forward to more ships, even a Revell 1/350 Bismarck maybe.

Wow Andy, amazing build! You have got me back into modeling thanks so much :D

Hi Andy. It would be awesome if you could make a quick vid just showing your entire kit collection, tanks, airplanes, and whatever else, just to kind of break up the building. I'm interested to see your collection personally and I'm sure there are others that would like to as well. Thanks- Josh

Great vid Andy, thank you for your time & effort! That ship looks fantastic!

Great looking ship. Turned out wonderful.

Thanks for going so in depth with the wood, helped me a lot

Very nice kit. One of these days I'm move from ww2 land models to ships! Thanks for sharing

Great job! Love watching your vids, they're not just entertaining but informative as you take your time to thoroughly explain your process every step of the way without making things to complicated. Above it all your videos are inspiring! Thank you for putting them out there and keep up your great work.

Get yourself a Tamiya Diamond File for the photo etch work. They work great, and won't tear up your sanding sponge.

Absolutely! Spot on, Leona! Much easier than a sanding stick especially when doing really thin railing of smaller scales.

Andy! Great Job on the ship! Wondered if I would ever see my favorite youtube modeler do a demo of my first love, ship modeling. I spent 2 years building a 350 scale Gunze Lusitania in her black war "camo" paint job as she left NY on her way to being sunk off Ireland. Used every imaginable piece of PE, 200+ highly detailed window decals for every window on the ship, grab ropes and PE for 30+ lifeboats, all the PE railing and funnel ladders, all the rigging that I could see from a copy of the ships rigging plans I got a copy of from a friend (20 feet long by about 4 feet wide)... and scratch built several parts and collapsible life boats that were not designed into the kit that I found on the rigging plans. I researched the heck out of it and put every detail I could find and/or scratch build on it. It turned out fabulous and won an IPMS regional trophy for best commercial ship model. However, sadly it burned my butt out on ship building for a while. Still have another Luci about 2/3rds completed sitting in "dry dock" in my 'workshop' waiting to be completed and I've completed several 700 and various scale scale ocean liners as well as 1200, 700, 400 and 350 scale versions of the Titanic. I'm done with the Titanic and glad that phase is over...LOL I have several battleships and war ships in my stash with all the available for some of them waiting for me to finish my tank phase. My first ship to start back is going to be the 350 Tamiya Bismarck with all available PE and RB gun barrels for the main turrets. That all said...I'm so pleased you did a ship finally and surprised how good your construction and paint jobs were and how quickly you did it. You handled the PE with ease, unlike myself who struggles with the stuff and your detailing work on the wood was great. I'll be using that technique with lighter shaded panel liners to simulate teak wood decks on the Bismarck. You are one outstanding, very talented modeler, Andy. Would really enjoy watching you work on an ocean liner and see how you handle all the detail, which as you know is a lot more than warships. Thanks again for a magnificent build. You are inspiring me and making modeling fun again for me. Cheers from Michigan!

Tamiya’s Big ‘E’ for the win!

Such a beauty. Well done!

Italians are amazing at design

Nice job Andy. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous. Superb work .

A difficult build for Master Andy that came out as always, UNBELIEVABLE..! This was a great video to watch!!

Cool Beans. Thanks for the refresher. Love those tweezers

awsome ;) just at the right moment!! love it!! have a basis for my bismarck 1/350 now thanks!!

Great job Compliments

The Ship, Yeah! It is next step in life modellers of the tanks. I have Bismarck 1:350. Inspirational video, thank you.

That is a fine looking cruiser, well done.

Another great job!

She beautiful, in Italian.😂👍👍👍👍

Looks great! Nice video Andy! Thumps up!

So much for the comment on new tooling and good fit. However the build is a very interesting subject rather than the common US/Brit vessels.

Love the build Andy. Thanks for sharing, hope to see more ships from you

Finally someone that makes wood effects with out oil paints :) thanks allot man :)

Really Great Job!!!!

Thanks for uploading this very nice build. Trying my hand at ship building myself and using your builds as a great resource. Thanks again. It's a beaut'!

What a great weathering was there on the ship. GREAT JOB ANDY! Keep going! :)

Andy, thank you for completing a ship! I enjoyed your deck painting technique rather than just using deck tan which doesn't give a realistic outcome. I really enjoy your video's and hope to see more ships. Fred

Looks great Andy! It would be awesome to see more ships.

What a build! Awesome job!

Really nice work again Andy and great to see a ship build from you finally. Will look forward to more.

Found your channel a few months ago and it helped me put together a Tiger I model that I wanted to do for World of Tanks. Glad to see a ship finally because I have had my eyes set on the Tamiya premium Yamato 1/350 kit but I couldn't find another youtuber who does vids in the style you do.

ANDY GOES NAUTICAL!!!

Really cool. I've never been interested in ships before but I'd love to see more builds of them.

Love the branch out to ships...it's why I like this channel.

An amazing build Andy! i was in the shop on the day you were working on the super structure and was blown away.

This looks like a good kit, my biggest issue about 1/350 ships is finding/funding photo etch railings, and other finer details. So i tend to steer clear, but maybe i night have to look into a kit like this. As always a brilliant video Andy, keep up the good work! Thanks

It turned out very nice, its very helpful to see your build and paint process for this ship. Cheers

Nice work love it .

Alright, like 2 c more ships in the near future. Thank u 4 posting, Andy!!

I'm about to build the Revell 1/350 Tirpitz Premium Edition- over 2300 parts !! Your video was fantastic many thanks. I just wish here in Australia we could get all those tools and glues and flex rigging lines. I too had mast bend when I applied my rigging to my Trumpeter 1/350 Admiral Hipper, I wish there was a way to stop that- perhaps brass replacement masts - Great Video and a lovely model

great job on your ship

AMAZING! Love it hard!

This may be your best build yet. Congrats and good job getting this done in just 2.5 weeks.

I am working on a 1:350 Bismarck, nice to have a video from you to get some more tips whether or not I use them. Great vids!

Great build, really enjoyed this one.

Great project, loved this build Andy

Gorgeous. The last time I considered building the Zara, the only thing available was some old dog from 4 decades ago. Didn't even know Trumpeter put out a new tool!! And this is why they're my favourite model company; not only are they the most prolific, but who else would tackle something like this or Dreadnought [or three different versions of Dreadnought?] The downside, is that they're a university first, a model company second; so you do get some occasional student errors.

beautiful job

Loved this build. Makes me want to try a ship.

Awesome build as always Andy! It's great to see you painting the deck properly as opposed to those horrible laminated wood deck stickers that are so often used these days. Love the paintscheme, I may have to do a Roma now!

Man , you are a true craftsman! Great job !
