      My grandfather was the line officer, they may have known each other. That's quite crazy to think about.

    I can proudly say I was part of the “volunteer crew” that helped restore “Big Mo” back to her presentable condition in 1999 when I lived in Hawaii.
    The first thing I wanted to see was the exact spot where the Japanese surrendered. The spot is now located with a brass plate and covered with a glass bubble.
    USS Missouri and USS Arizona became what is known in Hawaii as the “Bookend Memorial. They are both right next to the South East side of the small Ford Island right in the middle of Pearl Harbor.
    By the way, the spot that they gave me to refurbish were the two 16 inch gun turrets in the front of the ship. It was my job to grind down every rust spot on those humungous gun turrets!

      Of course let's remember that both warships were constructed in the same shipyard in Brooklyn, New York, just about 30 years apart.

      @scottboyer8450 Před 3 lety +2

      I was there at the same time with my father. I worked a lot on the #2 Turret with a pneumatic chipping hammer and a lot of primer paint. I always take great pride in having helped restore her to honor her and her crews service to our country.

    • @scottboyer8450
      @scottboyer8450 Před 3 lety +2

    I watched every episode of this great, informative, and inspiring build. Even as an experience modeler I picked up on a few processes to use on my builds. I would say Ben did a fantastic job of presenting his step by step build and explanation of trouble areas. I recommend this series to anyone contemplating building one of the Iowa Class ships.

    When I was visiting the Missouri in 1991 one of the volunteers was restoring some of the decking around frame 44. When he found out that was an active duty Marine he gave me some of the pieces that had been removed. I was hoping at some point to build a shadow box or a model of the ship but never have found the time. To accomplish what this modeler did I would have needed to start building this kit the day after I left Honolulu to get it done by 2022. Great job, worthy of the crews that manned her and the sacrifices they endured in the cause of freedom.

    Ben, I have watched your build from the beginning and like others I am very impressed. Your addition of details, dishing, the Kamikaze dent, plus your comparison of the bofors, has provided modelers with a guide on how to organize and proceed with their build. Thank you for the effort and time, I am looking forward to the Titanic.
