The deck is awesome. Great assembly. Great authentic touches.

Stunning! Outstanding workmanship... You did a really fantastic job. I really enjoyed watching. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Ahm; what can I say? Magnificent work. My most sincere congratulations... I'm looking forward to your new projects and happy I still have a considerable amount of your videos to watch. Supreme job!

Watched the whole build so I know the effort, sweat, tears you have put into this Ben. An absolutely fascinating build to follow and a stunning final display....lot of inspiration taken from this...well done and thank you! 🤙🤙👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Awesome! Good job! What a beautiful memorial to the lost Arizona and her crew! 🇺🇸👍👏👌

"Fly Casual" love it! Good job Ben.

Stairs are ladders and the devices towed to clear mines while underway are called paravanes, excellent job!

You gave the O'l BB 39 justice. She's real beautiful. U.S.S. Arizona, 1916-1941.

ES-PEC-TA-CU-LAR...! Great work and great artist You are...!

The railings are gorgeous. Awesome crew figures.

WOW.....She turned out Great!! Nice work and attention to detail......

Fantastic work. You are a very skilled modeler. Thanks for sharing, Dave

Beautiful workmanship. Congratulations. Job well done. ⚓️

What an amazing job. Any museum would be proud to display that build. Keep up the great work.

Great videos and great build! Got some good tips and motivation. Thanks for posting!

What can I say my friend that I haven't said before? I truly enjoyed watching you bring her to life! You should be very proud of the job you did!! I know that at least 1177 men would be!! Congrats!! I hope her little sister turns out half that good!!

That is super, super awesome. Love that era of battleships anyway, and at this scale and detail, it really does look museum quality.

Glad you enjoyed building the ship, you did a fantastic job of the kit.

Incredible miniature replica! Wish I could own one! Just looking at it, I can see that it was a labor of love! I actually stood in the Arizona memorial a few years ago when my wife and I visited the island of Oahu! Saw the turrets sticking out of the water, and some of the hull from inside the memorial building that straddles the wreckage of this legendary battle cruiser!

A very great job!! I love that model, it is a wonderful project!

Mine model is coming in a week a think. Cant wait, Thanks to your videos, you have reignited my passion for taking on the big one.

That was a spectacular job you did on the ship but the case as well. My hat is off to you sir! 😀

Well done! Appreciated the quality and value of your entire video build series.

That's a awesome awesome awesome job done and the plexiglas case looks good as well. Keep up the good work sir. Thumbs up on the video.

great work really great finish.well done.

Beautiful work. You should be proud. Congratulations.

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Wow. Impressive. The wood deck is awesome.

Sweet. I appreciate the figures to get a sense of how massive these battleships were.

All it needs is one of my leaded glass display cases. Beautiful modelling.

It looks great! you did a good job...that would look good in a museum.

AWESOME MODEL!!! I AM IMPRESSED!

Rob Salazar check out the Missouri build!

Id be proud of myself just building one of tbe lifeboats so well. You are a model boat Jedi!

Very nicely built model.👍

You built that awesome ship with the precision and skill of a surgeon. You have an eye for detail with artistic prowess. In other words, you're a fantastic master modeler!

You Have done a a FANTASTIC job on this kit. If 'Her Indoors' (wife) could read my mind at the moment I would get a smacked arse as I want one... Thank you for the videos of the build. Stephen

What a beatuiful ship and nice job !! Great work !!

Beautiful job!

it belongs in a museum... amazing work

Beautiful and fantastic job my friend, I am going to build mine in the early 30's grey scheme.

Really good build you did there, loads of construction fun 👍🏻

Les Paul's in the background.. perfect...You have more guts that I do keeping them on a stand..my 81 Custom face planted due to Grandson...now they stay in the cases. Great model 👍

That's a truly excellent job Thank you for posting

Great job. Your videos are very helpful with your knowledge of little pitfalls to watch out for. You shouldn’t worry about over doing damage either as the Arizona was an older ship she surely would have some wear and tear. Rigging has always been a test of my patience.

Beautiful build.

Definitely museum quality! Congratulations.

Came out beautiful...with all the extra details added made a beautiful build....props to ya bud.

I just finished watching your whole build series for this, outstanding work. Can't wait to start mine in the stash!

Beautiful job well done. It's sad to think about all those young men that lost thier lives on that ship. A nice tribute to all of them.

Nice detail what a ship! Seamen and officers give a very lifelike appearance. I expected the officer on the bridge to move.

Congratulations, it'so Beautiful. You did an excellent job. 😀😀😀😀😀

That came out friggen awesome bud! Makes me want to build one now and was jacked to hear you are going to finish the WingNuts model, cant wait...;)

Simply awesome. Super impressive!

Excellent work..great ship

Labour of love and it shows, nice job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Awesome Job! Looks fantastic and you clearly did the research. its very accurate! A pleasure to look at! Nice job on the case too.

Well done, it looks awsome, you should be proud of the job you have done. 👍👍👍

What a result - Brilliant !! You must be really proud of this masterpiece, Well Done. I binge-watched every episode and found the whole series fascinating. The finished model is beautiful, far beyond museum standard, and deserves to be on public display. I would agree with some of the earlier comments; a brass plaque and some flags would be the final icing on the cake and I like the suggestion of wooden 90° corner pieces on the display case. I'm going to take a look at your next build - you have set the bar pretty high with this one though. Thanks for taking the time to film this, you make a great instructor. All the Best, Dougie from Scotland.

Really nice Job!

Absolutely gorgeous!!

I've never really been into models but this is fascinating excellent work. 👍

Nice ship! I can’t wait to do mines some day!

Awesome looks amazing

Looks great!

After seeing your build I plan on purchasing this Deadnought. Love the structures of these old battle wagons. I am currently building the 200 scale Mikasa.

Great build! Wonderful to say the least. Thanks for sharing tgis with us :)

9:38 sir this most certainly is museum quality work

You're the Michelangelo of modeling. Great job.

Awesome job!

Nice job. When I was a kid I put together a plastic model of the Arizona. My younger brother accidentally broke it with a baseball. It lost a lot of detail during the scale down process. Yours brings to life a lot of the tiny details. Reflects the heart and soul that put it together. Imaculant mantle peice.

Great Job !!

Great work!!!👍🏻

Perfekt! Gratuliere!

Hi my daughter and myself are going to Hawai soon .We are going to visit the Arizona and now I have a much better idea what she really looks like. Lovely peace of art . Steve U.K.

Fantastic build man! I really enjoyed watching this build come together.

This is very good and well detailed

This is very, very cool build. A long time ago, when I was in the Navy, I started on a model of the battle ship Bismarck. This type of detail is what I wanted to achieve. I failed miserably. Of course I didn't know what I know now. The reason I'm saying all this is because you have inspired me to try again. Maybe not the Bismarck, but try again. I wish I could find a model of the ship I was on, but I've had zero luck in over 20 years of looking. I saw one in France when we were there and have been looking ever since. It's made by a foreign model company and the model isn't available here. Possibly not available any more. And I've forgotten the name of the company. Again, very, very cool build. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful job

Well done, I watched this video 100 times!

You've done a fantastic job with that model. I love 1:200 scale ships. I have the Missouri in that scale with the full detail up kit, and it looks awesome just sitting in the box. Your best model will always be the next one, no matter how good your last one was! Regards, Solomon

Awesome job

Awesome build. WOW!! Great video. You did a super job. Top shelf all the way. Papadan

FAN-DAMN-TASTIC!!!! I really wish I could do something like that!!! You said it’s not museum quality but I have to completely disagree with you on that. And to quote Indiana Jones….” It belongs in a museum!!!! “

Man what a great job you have great skills ! 👍

Great great job....tks dor sharing..

First time I've see you and the work is excellent. And I have been looking for a Arizona for the last week or so. Very timely video.

Just watched all these videos, your attention to details is really impressive. Myself I have never built a ship, man, don't know that I could. Keep up the great work.

Great build

Absolutely amazing!

Outstanding job!!

An impressive job all around.

amazing job ,great !

Beautiful beautiful build!!!!

Great job - I'm doing mine now and Learned a lot from your build!

What a magnificent ship! Just about to build it in 1/350 scale. Hope it turns out nicely. I wish i could make it at least half as awesome as this.

Outstanding.

Very nice job sir. I really like the work you did on the radio antennas. And by the way, the mine sweeping things are called "paravanes".
