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.

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.

Always loved Airfix and Revell, moving to Tamiya. I've never heard of those other companies. Tamiya models are made from metal molds with the concept of easy to build plans and excellent quality. I have built heaps of WW2 tanks.

This was just a random video that popped up for me to watch but I found it very interesting. I had no idea how much work was involved in building and especially painting one of these models. Well done.

I built this exact ship when I was about 14 years old (about 1977). Painted and everything - but with a brush. Even used the "dangerous" modeling glue. I remember using my Exacto knife as a drill also. I also used that to cut the parts out of the frame. I still have it.

​@Peorhum The Bismarck was good, the Tirpitz was better.

I once build a 1:577 scale model of the Bismarck from Revell. It was simply not good. The "detail" ,if you can call it that, was simply awful as it was non-existent. Years later I built a 1:200 scale model of Bismarck from Amati. After that a 1:200 scale model of HMS Hood (which is still not finished, it sits at roughly 90% and I cannot find motivation to finish it) and a 1:200 scale model of Scharnhorst, (which is also unfinished at around 50%). All models are from Amati and the detail work is AMAZING!!!! So, if you can: go for Amati in 1:200 scale! Each of my models has over 4000 pieces! BTW: I can only recommend getting a handdrill like a Dremel. It makes many things easier.

The "building an entire ship in 19 and a half minutes" (elapsed assembly time in this video) is not that far off the mark, because Tamiya Extra Thin Cement bonds and dries so fast. Long gone are the days of yore when you used "goopy" tube glue that took 12-24 hours to cure. Best method is to hold the parts together then brush the Tamiya cement around the seams and hold it for 5 seconds, then move on to the next assembly. The wicking capillary action of the Tamiya Cement does most of the work. EDIT: the uploader said roughly the same the same thing, blah blah blah

How this video ended up in my feed is a mystery. However, I'm glad it did. I have been building models for most of my 62 years, and still do. I never knew it could be this entertaining. I think you are on to something. Keep up the great work. SUBSCRIBED!

I built a bunch of Revell models in the 50's mostly only at Christmas because that's the only time I got a present. Never had any problems with only minimal following of instructions. One of my favourites was the F-100 Super Sabre.

I remember once buying a Revell F4 Phantom kit when i was like 14 years old and being pleasantly suprised that the included cockpit was in a different scale than the entire model and was about twice too big for the frame and glass canopy. Revell does have some banger kits.

Also, if you use acrylic paints, you can just thin them with water down to a level where they sit and flow really well. I paint miniatures and that's what we do. As long as your brush control is decent, it would probably look great on these kinds of models.

I know absolutely nothing about modelling, have no intention to model, and I'm not sure why KZread's algorithm put me here... but god-damn that algorithm was right, this was great. I'm still not planning to get into modelling, but I'm definitely watching more of this channel's builds.

The narration is terrific.

My fine motor control is pretty poor on account of having pretty nasty ADHD, but painting anything by hand became even more difficult when I develop nerve damage as well. I found that firmly securing the item that I'm painting first, then using a magnifying glass with clamps (like one uses when soldering) to help hold the brush itself is my next step. Finally, I keep my elbows on the table so that all I'm moving are my forearms, and I try to have a broad of a point of surface with the brush as possible when I go to move it. It takes practice and patience to build technique when painting with the brush on a pivot. Unfortunately, when things get so small that I'm having to use an exacto knife or other scalpel-like implement to apply the paint to tiny tiny surfaces (like the pupil and sclera in the eyes of a 40k or Necromunda fig), that's when I have to start getting super creative about how to best apply the pigment or paint without screwing things up beyond all hope of repair.

Thank you KZread algorithm for directing me here. This kit build video and review is a gem! You've got my subscription.

MPC kits were the best in the 70's; well molded, and the ships had single piece hulls. They were probably simpler kits overall. I built the Missouri when I was about 15, which turned out pretty well, although I painted the main gun barrels flat black with silver tips because I thought it looked cool. Still do. And Revell still gives me hives. Edit: Just realized the Missouri kit was Monogram, which were also quality. MPC seemed to have the highest grade styrene. Revell kits suffered from the most flash & warpage. Also, very nice build. 👍

One thing I do like about revel and it’s one of the few things I like about em. If you go to their site you can order replacement pieces from their site. Still keep my kit books for the revel to order parts I wanna chop up for detailing my 1:350

Ive never liked either Revell or Frog but preferred both Matchbox and Airfix at the cheaper end of the market

I love your dry humor.

Wow, I had no idea Revell was still in business? I outgrew them 40 years ago, I only built quality kits now. Great video, entertaining.

I use to work around mistakes in the kit, because I don't make mistakes, I'm just too lazy to fix all the mistakes the people who make these things make, by renaming boats and planes. So when I made my Revell 1/700 Bismarck I renamed it Fistmarck. Which is more apt than it should be. I also have a short fuse. When I deal with cow and horse dung. But that's ok. Lots of parts for my stack. It became a diorama, with Fistmarck at the bottom, and muddy mud water above it. And on the sides. Resin is damn expensive. And useful.

Tremendous! Beautiful result. Haven't done any kits since i was a teenager. You inspire me to start again but i think i get as much enjoyment watching and listening to you.

Impressive how the skill in detailing really lifts it, the washes and blending of paint types with turps. A similar skill is covering aeroplanes with metal foil.

Looks fantastic!!! The bismark took over 200 hits and only sunk when scuttled.

I don't care for ships in general, but you saying so made me check: The Bismarck's 'pea shooters' had the same range as the Yamato's bigger cal and where much more precise. Of course the smaller grenades had less impact, but then they where way faster to reload.

4.1 for Craftsmanship on the D.I.C.K scale????? Those damn Russian Judges! I can't believe you do 1/700 and make it look good. From my memory as a kid - Revell was a toss up for crappy with Monogram. Then again - my ability to read Japanese in the '70's wasn't so good - that may explain my Tamiya failures at the age of 12. you might now be my new favorite KZreadr. Subscribed!!!!

You need some sponge sanding sticks. In 1/350 flash is killing me! I can not imagine 1/700. Lots of ideas in this build, thanks.

Bismarck was one of the models I built as a kid 45 years ago - so I wouldn't remember which manufacturer had provided my version at that time. But it was about the largest one I had - some sailing vessels in another scale notwithstanding. 😅

I watch a lot of 40k modelling videos and I recently got back into World of Warships again which is why I think the algorithm recommended this video. I'm absolutely here for it, the humour is spot on! Build was pretty good too!

When I built models in my younger years I started out with Revell kits. Mainly tanks and planes. But once I discovered Hasegawa and Tamiya I never looked back. Imho Revell is the lowest of the lowest. The video was fun to watch though. 😅

A total so far of 17 likes. 😲💖😊 My den/office looks like a small war museum with ready made models of military vehicles, some are ( 1:32 scale), a model of an M1A1 Abrams tank that is larger than a toaster oven (measuring approximately 18 inches in length), small replicas of WWII and modern war planes, helicopters, books and framed prints of various paintings including the Charge of the Light Brigade. In short, I'm the guy who as a child said, "When I grow up.. my house is gonna be filled with military replicas!"😁 I will be glad to answer any comments or replies sent to me here. Stay well all.

I used to have a Bismarck kit when I was a kit and it was one of my favorite toys ever (after putting it together off course)

Honestly, the oil paints helped, I think. It adds a bit of a weathering effect to the paint that makes it look like it's been to sea for some time.

This is a reminder of just how big a novice I always was putting these things together. Sometimes I'd get so frustrated I'd throw the damn thing and it would end up in the trash.

Are there any channels that build sailing ship models? I've built the largest Constitution model twice. I messed up the first one and lost the second in a wind storm over the side of the boat I lived in :). I want to try again soon with the discontinued Revel model I have. I don't want to mess it up. Anyone have ideas?

I never assemble before having painted the parts, as it is very hard to reach certain areas with the brush or spray gun after parts are assembled. And also, before assembling, i make sure that i have all tools that are required or optional, so i can get the maximum out of a model kit. I guess, you should do the same, instead of boiling with frustration and anger.

Overall it looks like a good kit and looks excellent on a shelf. Don't sell yourself short, you're an excellent painter and modeler. Get yourself some modeling putty, though. It'll help you fill in any seams that are left over.

What is the magical primer that wards off family? I need this elixir.

To be fair to Bismarck with her main battery size, most battleships/battlecruisers she was likely to face, those being the Royal Navy's battle line, also had 15" guns which did their jobs just fine. True, Nelson and Rodney has 16" guns, but that was just two ships. The rest were ships like the Queen Elizabeth class with 15s, Hood with 15s, the Revenge class with 15s, and the Renown class battlecruisers also with 15s. Bismarck certainly had many issues as resultant from Germany's lack of battleship construction experience post WW1 (like how vulnerable her rudder's control systems were which proved fatal), but I wouldn't say her guns were her problem. Keep in mind that the Iowa class didn't hit the open seas until 1943 and were also largely tied up in the Pacific anyways. Bismarck would only have to fight the Rodneys and which ever of the North Carolina or South Dakota class ships could be spared to the Atlantic if she'd lived that long.

You’re absolutely correct. I was broadly referring to Bismarck’s contemporaries, mostly the treaty battleships of the 30’s, which either matched or surpassed Bismarck in multiple categories while being considerably less massive. But yes, Bismarck’s 15” guns weren’t much of a limiting factor at all in a real scenario.

First time finding your channel, like your humor. When I was a boy during the 60's I found Revell to be lacking and preferred Monogram and Lindberg models. In the 80's I went with Tamiya and Hasegawa for aircraft.

I know how it feels having to paint parts separately, I used to do stock car models, Dale Earnhardt's cars were nerve wracking cause I wanted to get it done as close as I could. I gave up trying to paint each engine part.

I think it looks pretty good. I did, however, notice they didn't include the swastika decal for the back. I guess you could paint that on if you wanted too.

About 1960?- my best friend called me over to see the ship kit he had just got. It had a "non-filled"section in the hull ! ! ! I just told him to pretend that it was "battle damage" 😅😊??

What does one do with all of the models one makes?

Most enjoyable and humorous such patience well done and thankyou sir.

As a model builder, you're a great writer! Good job on both!

I have my first model still, Fletcher Class Destroyer, after 30 years you can build them just from the picture on the box

WOW! You rock dude! I love your colorful commentary, and your techniques are superb! I have been thinking of re-purchasing a Bismarck kit after like, 30 years of not having one, and this is a nice kit, if not perfect. I appreciate your recommendations, and will consider them. Anyway, great job in my book! Model has a really battle ready feel to it. Kudos for that! Subscribed and all that. Great channel! 😁

That model was beautifully done. You remind me of a Philip Marlowe type character, with your witty narration.

You are very skilled and a good modeler...but you don't have any drill? That really made me laugh :) But when you buy a Revell model, you have to be prepared for a lot. I like !

Thanks for the glaze lil bro, I'm gonna smooch you real good

G'day Boxman, it's a dog of a kit; you know it, I know it, sadly, Revell knows it but doesn't care. Anyway, you made this bow-wow build a great deal of fun. I've not caught your act before so you've got a new subscriber. I don't get it when any kit maker gets you to drill holes. Like they can't put them in at mould stage... of course they can. Not even an attempt at putting actual holes at the end of the guns; not even a depression to drill into, if you have micro-bits. Revell is lazy these days. They went through a period of decent model moulding when they actually attempted to make their bits and pieces approach the stated scale. Not so much now. Yet their price points continue to edge skyward. Still, what do I know; I specialise in WW2 aircraft. I really enjoyed your narration; so few people who bother to make build videos also pay attention to what they say and how they say it during the build. I suspect you are a much better modeller than your self-deprecating humour would have us believe. Your D.I.C.K. rating is a stroke of genius and you deserved the finished look score you gave yourself. You turned a 'sow's ear' into a delicious roast pork feast! Cheers and all the best, Bill H. Hobart TAS.

it looks amazing- I had an amazing bismark back in the 60's love to find that again...

I am more into Aircraft modelling mostly 1/72 and for some reason i just cannot get on with Revell products in the early years it was crude fit where it touches. they have tried hard over the years to improve but i still find there parts a bit clunky and crude. i know that most of there range are re boxed from other company's like Matchbox etc. i don't know if its down to the type of plastics Revell use. though i have to say Mister Craft is running a close second in the "no love no enjoyment" contest so i have given them both a wide berth over the years

BoxmanBuilds is the lovechild of Plasmo and Billy Butcher!

Zamn I just finished watching The Boys it’s peak

Dunno what I am doing here as a ground vehicless dude who likes to go for good 'ol meng and thumpter, but yea, it reminds me of why I do not get revel models. Also, if anything, Yamato was the most powerful BB of the time. Bismarck had moderate firepower and the main reason IMO why it is so well remembered is down to the fact it was German, and Germany in theory should not have anything close to that displacement.

just stumbled on this, interested in modeling (did some stuff long ago with Tamiya 1/35 ww2 models) but never on this level. Very good result, very interesting to see how you get this kind of detail and paint jobs, and the commentary is just .. the finishing touch :-)

Well, when Bismarck came online, there were only 7 ships in the world with 16 inch guns and they were all somewhat slow compared to Bismarck. I'm not saying it's not doodoo, but 15 inch is perfectly serviceable for 1939... heck, King George V was commisioned later that year with 14 inch guns.

Finally, a KZreadr who is as crap as me. Have a like and subscribe. I've never taken Revell to be a class build, more like sub-Airfix, beginners' level kits. I wouldn't expect them to be flash free nor particularly well detailed. They are good enough, for what they are.

Welcome 👹👹👹 Revell has a few unique subjects, such as their passenger liners. I plan to build their Queen Mary 2 once I’ve emotionally recovered. For the longest time their 1/700 Titanic was probably the best, but thank god HobbyBoss went ahead and made one too.

Have the Trumpeter 1/200 Bismarck with all the upgrade pieces i bought like 10+ years ago. haven't had time to build it yet...

That's why i haven't got round to building m 1/350. The drilling. I'm a machinist, I shouldn't be scared of this. But if I screw it up, sigh, do I have to fall back on my fibreglassing skills too? This shouldn't be so difficult.

I found you through /smg/ which is almost as wild as your vids. 10/10 for my tastes, excellent job, hope you never set up a patreon and sell out.
