The technique gets an A+, the sarcasm about 9 flat screen TVs gets an A+++

Your client will be a very lucky person to receive this finished in all it's glory. I'm envious.

This is absolutely killer! I know from many years of modeling experience, including ruining many a built, how many things can go wrong ... your skills and patience are incredible! The p. e. bridge looks so realistic!

i love your videos.... love the coins in the shot for scale!

Man, your videos are the best on youtube. Thanks.

For that part at 10:10, you could add the oval builders' plaque at the middle of the B-deck wall.

I can't wait to see all the little details in the "conning room". I think that term applies to that part of the ship. Great work as always.

Great job Ben fantastic work and thanks for showing me the mindset for dealing with problems when they occur. Building these models is meant to be fun. Say hi to Nora🍻

MATT, this is becoming INCREDIBLE!! Go glad to have found your channel, this is what you fiddly!!

As someone who struggles to use PE in 1/24 I’m extremely impressed with your skill.

I kept waiting for you to go into integral calculus and 6th degree polynomials when you talked about the curve in front of the bridge. 😆 Tell me you’re an engineer without telling me you’re an engineer, says another engineer. Love your stuff! Great job! Watching it all while building my first timber model (not the Titanic) as a tribute for my long gone Dad. Wish I’d discovered you sooner and Dora is the Bomb! 👍🏼 My SWMBO would never. 😆

Hey Ben great job doing this exacting stuff on camera! A lot of things covered for the bridge and some of the pitfalls to avoid or at least be aware of! Don't forget to paint the bridge storm shutters brown before you start adding the telegraphs and ships wheel etc! Also on Woody's set C I believe that Neil has included the telegraph boxing that fits under the bridge on deck A. Great detailed video, learnt a lot from your pain and efforts! Thanks. JH 😉

Hi Johnny, Ben’s client didn’t order the ibeam set for his build. However I supplied Ben a set for his own build. On sheet C I actually included 2 telegraph shrouds as spare. So there’s nothing stopping Ben from using one on each build.

Nice posting a new video on the anniversary of the titanic. Great video. Looks amazing

Brilliant video as usual for me as a titanic builder one of the worldsbest you tube resources

You have a lot of patience. Great work.

a little tip that i found helpful is to save the little bits you would remove from the wood decks so that later if you need to cover a hole you dont need you can use the same material and it fits seamlessly

Loving all the fine detail going into this build Ben. Thanks for sharing more of the instructional side of things, I learn so much from you.

Kind of fun seeing you struggle!! Lol turned out fantastic bud! NEXT........

Hi Ben, that woody's bridge section really makes the whole model pop. I'm building this kit as well and the additions to buy for this model from different suppliers are outstanding and depending on your budget you could spend a absolute fortune ,but as you have just shown the end result is outstanding. Many thanks .

Looks amazing! Beautiful work!

Excellent video Ben, your explanation is right on as is your workmanship.

Great video

Excellent work, as always!

This build is absolutely bananas. So fun to watch, and it makes me want to get out my tools and try and tackle this build next. Outstanding work!

another brilliant video. These are the highlight of my week!

Can’t believe this model is actually big enough to have the bridge telegraphs, compass, and wheel visible.

Well done Ben I love your patience and the model looks super

Great video, thanks. Love those aircraft prints you’ve got on the wall as well 👍🏻

Would love to see Lusitania in that Scale

Superb video again Ben. This is my go to build website for the Trumpeter Titanic, especially as I have all the PE kits you have been using.

Nice work. Think about building this ship back in 1910 for real. Real craftsmanship at Harland and Wolfe.

Welldone. You done a fantastic job with the bridge. I still have that to come. Should be fun 😉😂

Congratulations watching you build this this model to this level of detail is fantastic

Just stumbled across this video and I am invested! Really enjoy how you film your videos. Super entertaining and relaxing!

Love all videos! Thanks. Well then, now i have to buy me a Olymp.. Oh.. Titanic model again, this sice is perfect, not to big to have it in the livingroom, and not to smal for the tiney details. Thanks again for every tips and tricks. Best regards from Northland, Sweden.

you are an amazing builder

Great job as always Ben. All you need is more slide wisel.

Thank you very much for such a great video Ben . No your sinus infection has not affected the quality although I do wish you well on your recovery from it. I have all or have on order of Neil's products for this build. They are amazing.

Nice work mate

Awesome!!!

I bought the stern plating set, screwed it up first time around, bought another set... will go better this time. I swear.

OK, the FB picture was simply awesome. I had NO clue that it took that much work. Really well done despite the odd curves. I truly did not realize that the bridge was open. Yeah, the films indicate that, but it didn't really "sink" in until now. I continue to be impressed with your work. I started watching with your Missouri build, and have gone back to watch snippets of other builds, and am following this one. Stunning. I see comments on some FB and YT pages along the lines of, "I could never do work like that." Truly, all it takes is practice, making mistakes, learning from them, and "pressing on". Clearly you've done the work and earned praise you get here. But, as a note to others, your work is this good because you try, learn, and do. That's what it takes. Did that make sense?

Totally! And thank you! My rule for every model build, since I was little is: pick one thing about this build that I want to master. The rest of the build can just be built per the instructions and enjoyed. But try to master or really nail one part of this build. Then on the next build, pick something else to master.

I'm probably crazy here but the details you are putting into this might only be appreciated by a handful of Titanic fanatics. Would building one of these really expensive kits not look really good after all was said and done and also get the admiration of a vast majority of model builders? I'd love to have one of these but I don't play professional football so I couldn't afford to have you build one of these for me. What you are doing is truly remarkable.

Watching this... at 11:07pm EST... Titanic strikes the Iceberg on this night... in 33 minutes.

Hey Ben! thanks for filming this 2 Titanics builds. Really enjoying watching it. Fantastic work for sure. I've noticed something about PE part you glued at 28:30. This is outside part that is backside of the bridge, but it has texture vary similar to what it usually is from inside. My best guess that prolly it should go inside of a bridge with texture visible through windows? idk :)

Today is the 110th anniversary of the Titanic sinking. One survivor interviewed was Eva Hart, who lost her father in the sinking when she was only 7 years old.

It's called the engine order telegraph, at least in the US. The guy operating it is called the lee helm.

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between CA glue and super glue, if any and what's the best to use glueing PE to plastic

Beautiful build. Can you please tell me what those little triangle things are for they are just below the top deck windows and they run almost the entire length of the ship would be so helpful to no I have searched the Internet to no avail thank you for your help

Those are coal outriggers. They swing out and a Lilly is on the end. They are used to haul buckets of coal up to the top of the coal locker doors on the side of the ship where they dump it in.

Might of already been asked but I am a newb to this scale of modelling! I'm in the UK and wanting CA Glue. Does it come with an activator or is CS Glue a stand alone thing? I'm used to tamiya so sorry for the simpleton question. On the other foot, I ordered the mini brass stern plating today! 🙂

@TheMidwestModelShop

2 жыл бұрын

CA glue does not require activator. Cyanoacrylate glue is sometimes referred to as “super glue”.

Might be a silly question, but when filling the openings in the deck (8:40) can you use scrap from the scaledecks sheets? or is it easier/better to just use strip stock and paint.

@TheMidwestModelShop

2 жыл бұрын

You can totally use the scale decks strip. I think the difference is how do you want to spend your time? Mixing a matching color (which I have down and can do quickly) or cutting a very small piece of wood? Which ever is easier for the builder is the way to go, I think. Because both options work.

ben when I start painting the titanic kit I have 1/200 do I need to prime every thing

Priming first is always best. But you don’t “have” to as long as you clean the parts first and you’re using enamel paint.

What is the definition of the much-used US English word 'auhm' and where is the correct place for it to appear within a sentence? Asking for a friend.

How much would it cost for you to build a Trumpeter Titanic for me? I don't have the patience/time/space to build a model like that

Ben why is it that one supplier cannot offer all of the options, instead of relying on the hope that various parts from different suppliers are going to fit together - plus the fact of the enormous costs involved just to make a realistic model

@TheMidwestModelShop

2 жыл бұрын

It boils down to cost and time. Woodys Model Works has spent the same amount of time developing their sets as Minibrass has spent getting their parts up and running. China 3D prints has been diligently creating parts for the last 2 years. If we were waiting on just one of these providers to develop everything, we would still be waiting. To make it happen faster, you need more people. That costs money. It just gets complicated really fast. With the one common factor being Trumpeter’s kit… everyone usually gets it pretty close. In fact, if you don’t use the PE hull sides from MiniBrass, everything fits the stock kit just fine.

I can't find this size Titanic. I got a 1/350 MiniCraft Titanic, but it's no where this big.
