my brother was the past sailor injured on this ship... it was an accommodation ship floating in the Thames before it was handed over to the imperial war museum. and he fell down a ladder and knocked himself out coming back to base drunk...

The museum ship is great when you get to go, lots to see and lots to learn. I've been a couple of times now and my first time you could jump on the AA mounts and crank the handles and aim it at all the nearby buildings etc. But then a few years later I went again and they were stationary. I don't know whether they were welded for safety reasons or if they had just seized but I was rather sad at the time.

As someone who lives pretty near the HMS Belfast and has visited often I can proudly say this build is amazing!

No "the" in front of RN ships, just HMS Belfast

he lost me when I saw how dirty the airbrush paint cup was....

I had a friend, that his dad served on this ship, and I built this for his 92nd birthday

Awesome build and video!!! In 1982, had the opportunity to visit HMS BELFAST when visiting London for the first time. Spent a week in London, and always wanted to get to the ship, but kept getting side-tracked by exploring the city for never knew if I would ever get back to London. Spent like 2 days at Tower of London and Tower Bridge - did get the chance to go all the way up to top of one of the towers and got some really good photos of the ship from that angle. Then in 1986 or so, got to pay London another visit, and had HMS BELFAST on the visitation list. Day I get to the ship and it is CLOSED for renovations!!! UHG!!! Oh well, maybe next visit (whenever that will be). Anyway, now I got to look for those photos!!

The command ship of the third force(d-day), victor of the Tripiz, the "Belle of belfast city" and the old las who's storys we all want to hear. A lovely ship.

It would be great if you could speak your comments of what you're doing besides having to read it that way we can watch what you're doing more and the music was a little loud but very very interesting video great job on the model

good work..but warships do not have " lifeboats".. these are the ship's boats..

Even without railings one can appreciate the clean lines of your model and the ship. Well done.

A nice ship Modelcomrade. The Camouflage on both sides are very intresting.

Thanks again, I love the way way you actually love building your models

A lovely model -well done . Wales UK.

Beautiful job! Watching your work gives me tips on how to paint and weather ships. I’m never disappointed in what you do.

I'm nearing the end of building the IWM Airfix HMS Belfast 1/700 kit but this Trumpeteter model seems a lot easier to build than the IWM kit , I've had nothing but problems with the IWM kit .

Better and faster than me, nice work! 👍👍👍

Hello Peter, again another amazing build and video. Very interesting kit. I just received my kit from Japan. Its Hasegawa's N.Y.K. Line Hikawa Maru in 1/350 scale. I also purchased a basic PE set ( handrails, laders, doors, hatch covers) and a wooden deck set. I really inspired me to try a ship model. I just hope it turns out half as well as your kits. Thank you again for your inspiration and for making this awesome channel. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Have a great weekend. 👍👍👍

Superb skills. Wonderful to watch.

Nice model great paint!
