Another great helpful video Ben. It makes me feel so proud to see my superstructure being perfectly applied to your clients model. You followed each step perfectly and even provided some handy additional tips that I wouldn’t have thought of. I will provide a link to this video on my website and in the instructions to help everyone once they get to this section of the build. Also Nora is entertaining as always whilst making not obvious, but very logical observations.
I hope you are feeling proud now seeing how your efforts are paying off. Have a fantastic weekend! Neil :-)
I ordered your Superstructure today because of this very good Video.
Pretty impressive to see how perfectly these huge, long pieces were precisely the right length. Ben worked hard on the prep but it's nice to see these parts fit, as intended. It's interesting and refreshing to see you two working together, helping each other out. If more manufacturers listened to the builders, we'd have more high quality kits available.😁
Have you considered doing anything for 1:350 scale? I'd buy it...
@@gr8d4ne yes these will also soon be available in 1/350 scale
And I would be remiss in not noting the quality of the cinematography is also top notch :)
Great looking model
Great episode. We all encounter unintended problems. You handled them with ease.
Looking at Titanic after USS Missouri the thinking was 'meh, a civil ship, no guns and radars, what kind of detail it may have'.
Well now I am smashed by the amount of work needed!
I though the same thing going into it.
Another great singer ... "hanging their unmentionables to dry!" I hope I'm not the only one that really enjoys your sense of humor. Watching your videos is time well spent. The mechanics of cutting , sanding, painting, etc are all important but watching the assembly process is where the rubber meets the road and that is where your videos shine. Keep up the outstanding work. Dave
Great Job of "glu-n and appli-n". I can see how much the photo etch has improved the plastic. Woodys Model Works, make an amazing product. Also It is good the "camm-er" person😉 returned, so your quality work could be shown in all its glory. 👍
I really enjoyed this video. You're striking a great balance between showing the work and skipping ahead. Nice job!
Nora and Ben this is Tony not Kathy again … love it ! You guys are great … I am binge watching these Titanic videos…I can’t tell you how how much you have driven through my head that prep is king . Watching you put those Photo etch sidings on with 5 minute epoxy made me nervous for you. All that prep made them go on with ease. Wonderful … you guys are special … please know that your work is appreciated
Tony
Man, If I had $600 to spend right now I'd love to make this!
Excellent as always
Awesome videos
Absolutely incredible.
Looking great!
I want to get this ship, sometime in the near future, together with the add-ons. This vid. series will be a first class template on which to base the build.
It's coming right along in joyed the video
Great camera work Nora , loved the slide wisel.
Beautiful
I really appreciate your attention to detail and patients Ben.
Just amazing.
Yay! You got the postcard! Glad you like it….love your videos…keep up the great work :)
Nice! Great job, Ben! Love to levity Nora brought! Looks great, bro!
Ben, Nora; Another great and informative episode. Thanks for taking the time to show us how you do each step. Take care.
Great video's about the Trumpeter Titanic. And the amount of detailing you show is great, respect!
I was wondering if there's already a kind of competition for hobbyists whom are building this kit. If is isn't: perhaps an idea...?
As usual -- well done. I have no plans to build a Titanic of any scale and yet I've sat through all of your videos so far on it's construction. Just watching your techniques and your instruction I find beneficial to my own projects. Thanks to both of you. Keep the vids coming.
Ha! It was a funny angle. One of our favorite movies. Oh Tyrone, Bricktop is going to feed you to the pigs! Man does the PE make such a difference, especially with the window depth. Just gorgeous. Looking fantastic Ben (and Nora!).
Periwinkle Blue, boys 😉😂🤣😂🤣😂

I love watching your builds come together. They look great! I used to do model kits when I was younger and had more patience. Thanks for sharing.
great show guys i realy appriciate all your efforts . very informative and entertaining . you 2 are natural presenters
Excellent video Ben . Just ordered some products from your store. Keep them coming.
Thanks you!
I remember the super glue commercial Nora mentioned.
I cannot wait to get back into hobby-ing as I bought a bunch of wooden models like Midwest Rainbow J Boat for when I retire
You made it look easy, well done.
i bin like your videos when you started on the titanic
Always enjoy your videos
Amazing work Ben, really enjoying the build 😊
nice work as always Ben👍👍👍
That is some emmy-award winning cinematography!
Great Video Ben. Very nice detail. A big shout out to Nora, for the camera work.
Absolutely brilliant video.. I'm just now thinking about starting my build, I have 3-D printed furniture flooring you name it but haven't started it yet. I enjoy watching all of your videos and they are a great help. Thanks again ,crack on.
i have found with working with small thin photo etch putting the glue on the bulkhead then placing the railing in place works better. it at least avoids having to go back and repaint
So what I messed up was the railing on the starboard side and it forced me to use the wrong piece, flip it over and apply glue to the side I had already painted. What worked best was only painting one side of the railing. So on the starboard side I had zero clean up. But you’re correct. Anything other than what I did would probably better.
I always love watching your videos. I watched your entire build of the Arizona which helped me tremendously while building my own. I built up this model kit of Titanic last year and it was a challenge and that was just building it out of the box. All this extra work you put into these models is mind blowing and amazing. I’m hoping to start the build on the trumpeter Bismarck sometime this year. Would love to see you build up that one next.. just a thought 😉. Have a good one and take care
I loved the Arizona build too! The way the build progressed really let one see how often Arizona was modified from her original form.
Seeing Titanic like this really gives perspective to how the ship was laid out better than any period photo I've seen as well.
Great video....The ship is looking absolutely incredible! Nice recovery after the sound problem.
You had me on the outrigger clothes line 😂.. Another great video mate. Cheers 😉👍
You guys are awsome. Ben your talent is amazing and Nora is hilarious. Just love your videos.
Alot of work but the results are amazing well done woody and Ben brilliant
I love this. Titanic will be back to life pretty soon at this rate.
Another fantastic video! Those photo etch parts were really impressive!
Thanks for sharing Ben. Looking great! Happy days and model on! 😎
Feel ya, sounds like my entire month of March! Loved the video and I hope both of you are doing well.
Another fine video. Your railing install looked great.
Hi Ben, thankyou for your sacrifice, for us the viewers. Another great How-To video. Looking forward to purchasing these from Woody.
You two are really amazing - you are just like you are, keep it up like that!😍This is really the best modelling channel I have ever seen. I have been watching your Titanic playlist until this video episode by episode now, and it was so much fun watching you finding solutions for so much delicate problems. Who does need TV nowadays? ;) I am currently working on the USS Nimitz 1:350 (for almost 10 years now) and I really love you guys for you are just like crazy as I am. ;) Anyhow, I just have one question, I was not able to answer by your videos or your website: what is that pink CA-glue you are using? 😬
Bobs CA Glue. Medium gel.
Great job looks forward to seeing your videos
Good stuff again, you are costing me a fortune. I take time to decide not to use a certain upgrade then I see it being installed and it looks fab and I want it 🤦♂️
Great video as always Ben.
Another highly informative video and so full of ideas and links to the expanding world of modelling Titanica and fully appreciated by a true fan of the hobby. I made my first Titanic in 1976-the original Minicraft-and there was nothing like the resources we enjoy now. I have the Trumpeter kit waiting for my retirement project and thanks to you guys, Neil Woods and many others enhancing this fine kit, at last a really accurate replica is within reach. I'l be ordering some acetate window sets once my card providers can sort out the admin! Keep up the good work! Ray Rimell-former Scale Models magazine editor.
Not far from the anniversary of the sinking. Good job as usual, nice video.
Love your work, i think it would be cool to see you do the shipwreck version in the future,
I’m gonna move back to warships after this.
Great video!!!! Dont worry bout the audio its fine
Oh no, you guys got cooties. 😆
1:11:10 the expansion joint dosen't align with the promenade wall
Fantastic job Ben!! Althought u think that it would be subpar without your camera girl!! LOL I hope hope the guy you are building it for is compensating your VERY well! I always wondered what the easiest way to use the accelerator. Never thought of a paint brush an applying it first like that! I'm thinking that will come in really handy on the Missouri! Jolly good show ole chap!!
Have you ever tried wet or dry sandpaper for doing car repairs? I use it all the time on model cars and it comes in a variety of grits.
Yea I have some in the drawer and use it often.
Hello, I'm Fabio from Italy, I'm using google translate to write to you I followed all your videos on the titanic 1: 200 and I wanted to ask you some questions: the pieces of fiber you are using to light up the portholes of the titanic at how many centimeters are you there cutting? and what diameter are they? (0.75 mm - 1 mm - 2 mm and 3 mm) I would also like to use your method to illuminate the part for all the portholes but I would not like to know which are the diameters for the porthole holes and which fiber to buy. Then which upgrade of the titanic would you recommend me to take (china - MK1?) Waiting for an answer. Best regards
Titanic video 4 should answer your questions, because I don’t remember exactly. I know we cut them to about 3-4 mm long. Or one centimeter. That’s close enough. We for sure used, 1mm thick fiber. I think the bigger ones are 2.5 and 3 mm. But all I did was measure the size of the porthole in the ship and then checked to see what Lighthouse LED had in stock. And I ordered those. I hope this helps. And I hope google translate works okay!
Hello Ben. I did not read all the comments, but is there any way that one could convert this A deck siding into RMS Olympic open deck rather. Are there any photo etch, or else for that purpose available somewhere. Or could one cut the enclosed part and substitute with some sort of home made stanchions to give
the Olympic look? And great work Ben. You are a genuine artist!
Hey! So I’m not aware of any aftermarket parts for Olympic. However, you may have some luck on Shapeways website. Otherwise, yes! Once could modify all of the stanchions and parts themselves. It’s just plastic like any other kit!

Hello Ben. Thank you for the reply and your input. So appreciated.
Hi Ben, great project as usual. I was going to do the Titanic until I realized there were no guns, started on Bismarck instead. I have started to use Ammo by MIG Ultra Glue for my photoetch when I want a bit of time before it sets. It holds well , takes a few minutes to dry, it dries clear and cleans up with water. I always find epoxy makes a big mess for some reason, thanks
Thanks Robert! I’ll see if I can track some of that down.
You have a very interesting channel and I enjoy following your progress through this build. I was wondering if you have looked at the Agora Models build of the Diecast + Wood build of the Titanic in 1:200 scale, and what your thoughts are?
Hey Rick! Thanks! I haven’t looked into it too much. I barely have enough time to work on these two builds, so I don’t know much. John Builds Iconic Models talks about it, I believe.
I watch The World of Wayne - because I am more into Diecast than I am into plastic models. I'm 65, (I retire this year) and I grew up building Revel Tall Ships when I was a kid - plus, did a 4' wood model of the USS Constitution. So, I'm sort of "Plastic out," if you know what I mean lol. (I also entered the O.C. Faire and won several awards). I Subscribe and enjoy your site because of all the tricks, tips and high-quality building you do; some of which I can apply to Diecast building. I asked because you are doing the Titanic, and Agora just came out with a Diecast/wood version with "smoking stacks," and I just wondered about your thoughts as you build your ship is all.
Another great video from Ben the Builder along with the comic stylings of Ms Nora. Just love these videos. I'm wondering, you are building 2 boats, are you doing the super detailing on both? Or is one box stock and the more detailed one for the client? Would be interested in seeing a comparison between one stock and one with all the goodies.
It started out that way. But then I ended up with the same detail sets for both. With the exception being the PE sides for the lower decks. Those are on my clients build and not on mine.
if i can ask, what did u use to create the glass inside the porthole and windows? uand yep u did an amazing job
Transparency sheets. The kind used for projectors and available at office supply stores or Amazon.
Great episode Ben; she's really starting to like the Titanic now. These "outriggers" are interesting wee pieces. At first, I wondered why you didn't paint them before attaching them but then I realised that, of course, they're white too - duh!! I was surprised how noticeable they are, after everything was painted. Did you use a dark wash, or something similar, or are the shadows natural?
So I mentioned that those pieces would be primed with black paint first. Naturally. Some parts weren’t covered well with the white paint and then you get the same results as doing a wash.
@@TheMidwestModelShop It turned out to be very effective, one of these "happy accidents".😁👍
👍👍
looks stunning with the photo etch now, where did you get the photoetched parts, i seemed to have misplaced one of my photoetched plates for the upper deck railings near the funnels
I’m not sure which parts your specifically referring to, but these PE parts came from Woodys Model Works. The link is in the video description.
thanks mate ive just checked it out and it dosent look like he has what i need, the safety rails above the cabins near the funnels
Your audio has a noticable measure of hiss.
Yeah we had audio problems on this one.
@@TheMidwestModelShop , tell the hiss I'd said, Shhhhhh!"
Thanks to you both for your prompt response. I enjoy watching your builds.
What are the best Woodys sets to start with?
Well, that really depends on what you want to “improve” on your kit. Some things must be accomplished before others. So, you need to look at what he offers and decide what you want to add.
Hello mate
when are you going to get back to your model
When my clients model is finished.
Does it float?
Of course. It’s plastic.
Feito em latao
Looks real great.But the price for all that stuff is a fucking joke.
Not bad, although mine is bigger and more detailed.
I'd love to comment eloquently, but that doesn't seem suitable for this video. So, in short, just damn.
Along another vein, your Harland and Wolff tee shirt was a big hit on the VIA Rail Canadian, last week!
