i founded waterline submarine model true storie
and red is for port green starboard and there is a white light higher so if you see green white red it's looking at you if you see red/green white or not you look at a side and if you see red white or not green you look the stern
airline ship build for 1st april next year?
Dipping your toes into 1/350 scale model ship next time?
When you killed the Savoy Guy I almost died laughing. Thank you for another great video! Just love it!
I’m the one farming kills, please feed me more new players (I’m ass at the game)
My boxmen of culture, we gather again.

Fifth video and already a sponsor? Boxman, you are absolutely popping off!
Didnt he get a sponsor last video too? Wither way super good shit and the sponsor segment was rlly good too, bit of his own twist
I both love and hate that he seals random insects (all named Dylan) inside these models for all eternity.
You love it, you will love it
Scarifices must be made, for Old Man Ocean is easily angered.
Me named Dylan.
I got several (now dead) insects in my Prinze Eugene 1/100 scale scratch built ship. There's something satisfying in mummified insects in your laborious hand built model. Glad to see I'm not a serial killer.
The only thing my 1/350 Alaska model was good for was catching an absurd amount of moths before the gun turret holes were sealed and the hull was cast to Davy Jone's locker.
Can't believe this man made an Italian battleship and then painted the hull like an Austrian ship.
Keep up the good work and please use that Austrian flag at some point on some sort of shitpost ship.
O shit thanks for the idea, I have an absolutely diabolical plan now thanks to you
viribus unitis with italian flag
To be fair both nations painted their bottom hull green, the italians used both red and green
Tegetthoff-class when?
@@user-lf6rt6hg4c if he does one it is mandatory that it comes with either a MAS or a mignatta
18:34 "And finally, the North Tower goes down" 💀
What most people don't know is that, originally, the Littorio was designed as a torpedo boat carrier. This is due to Benito Shippelini, Mussolini's forgotten cousin, and his fascination with the torpedo boat carrier concept.
Critics derided the idea as "ridiculous, impractical" and, most damningly, "dumb".
This, coupled with the fact that the special Mark XII Tortellini torpedoes, which were the intended armament for this revolutionary carrier's torpedo boat complement, had suffered multiple development delays, ultimately destroyed Shipellini's confidence in his own project.
In the end, he made the decision to convert the Littorio into the battleship we know today. The internal torpedo boat hangar space was reallocated, much of it being replaced with the turret infrastructure. The bow hangar doors, similar to what you might see on a roll-on-roll-off ferry today, were welded shut and the hydraulics removed.
While Shipellini briefly considered retaining these in order to facilitate faster resupply while in port, the idea was ultimately scrapped when he realised that one, single hit could cause the entire bow to simply fall off, which isn't conducive for floating, especially not in a battleship.
However, many of the torpedo boats had already been completed. For all his many failings, Shipellini realised that with some modification, these could be turned into lifeboats to avoid waste. So he had the torpedo launchers removed from each of the boats, and used them as the lifeboats for the Littorio-class.
This is the full, historical context for the Littorio's numerous lifeboats, a fascinating and often forgotten piece of Italian shipbuilding history.
Jokes aside in the 1920s a italian admiral designed a torpedo boat carrier battlecruiser
@@SeveralWeezelsInaTrenchcoat Wait, what?
Well, then, art imitating life, I suppose! I've never heard of this and would love to read more. Do you remember the name of the admiral or the design?
@@businesscasualsauron the name was "incrociatore porta torpediniere" made in the 1920s in a time the Regia Marina was making designs of weird stuff, inclduing catamar carriers
@@SeveralWeezelsInaTrenchcoat Thanks! I'll be checking that out.
makes sens since itally in ww1 was "popin off" with its torpedo boats, but are we sure that guy wasnt related to xzibit ?
Boxman's D.I.C.K ratings so far:

The time line of Dylan
1)leaves great review on Ali express on a possibly pirated model
2)dies and is buried within the very ship he reviewed after possibly fleeing wargaming secret agents
3)is resurrected and gets betrayed and drowned in super glue, also changes species
4)is received one final time and makes his last escape
Thank you Boxman :)
14:15 "That's a pretty good painting, right?"
"You just enjoyed one of Adolf Hitler's artworks"
The way you spot a person with a false appreciation for art is with one of his paintings. He had no sense of perspective or achitecture with the way he hap-hazardly placed features on buildings, and he only ever painted buildings.
So yeah, he'd build pretty good models.
The red and green thingies are navigation lights. It shows whether the ship is coming toward you or not and helps determine its aspect ratio. You are correct in thinking they're also what are on airplanes. In the dark, a green light on the left and red on the right means the plane/ship is approaching you. If all you can see is the red one, that's the left side of the ship/plane, and more than likely they are traveling from right to left. French toast, please.
"Put it trough a motorcycle accident simulator" That had me laughing so loud my cats are now looking at me strangely...
The best model building content on the internet, i happy and fortunate that youtube recommended me your first youtube video a few months back. Also congrats on the sponsor!
You'd think WoWS would be the sponsor since its the objectively better boat game, playing WT naval is like building a waterline model
Bro forreal
9:08 . As an Italian, this completely broke me 😂🤣
Tifa set for life now after that one
I love this guy
The 🐐
"The north tower is down"💀
The Italian Navy gets a bad rap in WW2.
I wish Drachinifel the best of luck changing that - cuz they had some great cruisers and the Littorio class was pretty good.
Comedy and showing errors while getting better at the hobby. This channel is special
The fact that I discovered your channel today a few hour earlier, watched all 4 of the videos you uploaded to that point and then got a brand new one literally just shortly after I subbed to your channel left me flabbegasted. That being said I sure am not gonna complain about a new video right now considering this is one of those channels on this platform that are 100% worth subbing to
Bro, its unbelivable how far you got in that short amount of time and with "just" five videos .
Your building and your humor is amazing.
Please never quit doing CZcams.
I was sitting yesterday and words "capillary action" rattled in my mind, and boom, boxman video is up
12:13 Dylan really came back from the dead just to get struck down by Boxman and super glue.
Can't believe it tbh
HE CAME BACK TWICE????
@@coh2conscript851 Dylan is inevitable
I always knew Boxman had good taste for the finest battleship out there. (purely coincidence that his order got lost)
Also airline models are actually *sunk* , you're supposed to invert the hull, it's like anti waterline
Honestly Littorio and her sister ships all look fantastic and I don’t have to be Italian to appreciate the pizza boats.
Also congrats on getting a sponsor
Littorio was honestly an insanely beautiful class of ship
The airline version on model ships is about right for my ability to build model ships. I love this channel
"motorcycle accident simulator"
*Gets a sandpaper*
Oof, it's gonna hurt whole lot.
Ahh, it's that time of the year again to sit through 23 mins of Boxman's pain and suffering. Thank you for your service sergeant.
Are you going to entomb an insect in every model from now on
RIP another Dylan
5:19 is where I remembered why I love this channel
The King is back yooo
Boxman's vids always reach the tightest of crevices within me
Thanks to capillary action right?
@@ssmith6081 The very same, my brother from another mother
Oh my god that joke about the lifeboats had me snorting out my cornflakes. What a way to start the day
“I should probably go to bed i got work in the morning”
*BoxmanBuilds uploads*
“Guess I’m staying up a bit more”
Shoutout to capillary action, without it this hobby would not exist 🙏🙏
The red and green spots are in fact navigation lights. They tell you what side of the ship you are on. I always remember the simple phrase, red on the right when returning. It let me know on what side of the ship I need to be when returning to port.
That thing has the entire italian navy on its deck
Your sense of humour and general commentary is pure gold Boxman!
to think great designs like these are overshadowed by pissmarck of all things
model looks swag
i fell into the boxman rabbit hole. I wasnt even interested in ship models until now, but in the span of 2 days I watched all of his videos 😭
Italians make some beautiful ships
5:57 the fact the ads come out before Boxman completes his sentence has made it much more funnier than it should be
Babe wake up, new box man vid just dropped
Dude your videos are a hoot. Keep em' coming
Seeing the capillary action of the wash gives me the good brain chemicals
The trick to hand painting is to thin your paints until it's the consistency of milk, then paint up to 3 or 4 coats. It's annoying, but it works.
To be completely honest - I can just listen to BoxmanBuilds' commentary during his build without even watching the videos... its just second to NONE on CZcams!
I uuuuh…I’m pretty sure that’s an AI.
Yea it is
@@FirstFamilyCharger someone still needed to into a script.
the red and green lights are navigation lights. More or less helps depict which way the ship is going at night
Even for very fine details, you should probably get a bigger brush. Those super fine brushes are basically useless except for like just dotting a single point like an eye on a person. A bigger brush that keeps a decent point can hold more paint at an ideal viscosity for brushing. Half of the time with those wee brushes, by the time you get the paint from the palette to the model, it's half dried and not working the way you want. Also makes it a lot easier to keep paint out of the ferrule (the metal part), because that's what tends to kill brushes.
I personally do a lot of my 6 and 28mm work with a size 6 round brush. if it can keep a decent point, it'll do what you are trying to with that wee tiny brush a lot easier than you might expect. It's unintuitive at first, but it has helped my brush painting immensely using the slightly larger brush.
I love the smell of MRI machines in the morning.
Italian ship/air design during ww2 was a thing of beauty
The higher im willing to go with models is gunpla and stickers, but that will never stop me from watching this dude's videos.
wart hunder mentioned
Awesome video! Keep them coming!
Another amazing video, love the builds!
My man out here giving these ships machine spirits by entombing living creatures inside. Also respect to War Thunder for sponsoring content as unhinged as this, they clearly recognize an underappreciated artistic genius when they see one!
LETS GO BOXMAN POSTEDDDDD
ive never done a model before but watching your stuff makes me want to get into it. its just really a big hobby full of different options i have no specialty in. thanks man. :)
For rigging, try to add a little weight on the end of each strings so that it stretches them and you only have to glue them on the mast after
The red and green lights at the sides of the boat are indicators for starboard and portside, useful for reconising the ship at night, or for nocturne maneuver inside ports. Nice build and video btw :)
I have to say i have not enjoyed a scale modeling video this much in a LONG time!!!! amazing camera quality and angles, and GREATT overvoiceing!!!!
Our cries for more content have been answered!
I needed this in my life
Nice craftsmanship.
I love this channel so much
Damn, hopefully the typhoon issue doesn't happen when I order a ship model kit.
I bought a plane model kit a week ago and it rained heavily these past few days. Hopefully my MiG isn't soaking wet by the time it arrives.
@@ruskiwaffle1991 lets hope that you get your kit intact
Another amazing video
Mr. Trumpet, would you be interested in assembling and painting a gunpla model in the future ? I would love to see your unhinged take on it
As a luckily former owner of a 2012 Prius, that line had me weeping with laughter.
Man. I nearly felt that I’m building this model with you. Great video. Thanks.
This is honestly my new fav CZcamsr. Excellent content
What a way to start a day!!! ❤❤❤
amazing job , congrat ..👌👌👌
Great video, amazing as always :)
Italians are very avid yachtmen. And Bismarck is 10,000 tons of over built excellence btw.... great build even better commentary.
Brilliant video and build. You are hilarious man. I want more.
nice job boxman, the PE looks awesome!
Why haven't I found this channel sooner?
Absolutely amazing.
Also, third option makes modelling U.S.S. Oklahoma during Pearl Harbor extremely easy.
Can't wait to see whats next!
I SIMPLY LOVE YOUR COMENTORY!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
I dig the green and the big stripes on the italian ships. Very distinctive.
Thanks, Boxman, for building plastic battle ships so I don't have to.
Reason for alot of boats - fuel savings. It also fills alot of free space that otherwise would been used for field crop production or drying you mothers underpants.
Red and green light - If the harbour is full, you need to take your second best choice and land on the airfield. First choice id say would be a harbour that fully appreciate your beautiful ship and welcome all the STDs, drugs and money that you'll bring.
Tip for rigging - Say you did it and don't do it. Like brushing teath or washing hands.
All joked aside;
I'd switch tamiya panel liner for newtons black oil paint. I find i easier to work with.
Nice vid. Keep em commin.
Pure art
This style of narrating is refreshing and really amusing, immediately subbed sir
yay more boxman!!!❤❤
Hot dang, been anticipating a new video for a while!
i love this guy fr
Best modeling channel out there
19:47 I don’t remember exactly what they’re called but they are the same thing as planes. Planes got the idea of the green and red lights from naval tradition. They’re used for seeing which way the ship is moving at night because one colour is always on the left and the other always on the right.
love the humor. good vid
Dylan returns!!!
Really cool. 👍
And when the worlds needed him the most, he returned!
Hopefully he will make an aircraft carrier next time for our all sanity.
I have always enjoyed this ship.
War thunder sponsorship? boxman going up in the world what da hell man
Boxman remember me when u get 100k subs
Great video !
Greetings from italy !
yet another awesome video. Ive been refreshing your page furiously since the last one dropped
Awesome.
