This is the first episode in this build series and the longest one I have ever uploaded. There is a lot of work that goes into the hull to get it to the point where you can put some paint on it. That's what this video is all about. Future videos should be much shorter.
To see how to make serious corrections to the hull in order to get the most "accurate" build possible, check out Nigel's Modeling Bench here on UA-cam. But be warned, he is conducting VERY advanced modifications to the hull. His techniques may not be suitable for beginners. But definitely go give his channel a "LIKE" and "SUBSCRIBE". He does amazing work. - Навчання та стиль
I thank you for your service to our country. I've devoted 20 years 3 months and one tour in the Army myself. Now retired, I'm doing what your doing. I like the build your doing and looking forward to the finish...
Thank you! And thank you for your service as well!
I was listening to music and then stumbled upon the two of you....I love creating and working with models (I am in the middle of handcrafting a double-hulled Hawaiian voyaging canoe...48" outriggers bow to stern....milled and carved the wood) and appreciate the challenge of working from scratch. I will be watching this project you are working on...it looks to be a real beauty! Thank you for your service (me....tour of duty Viet Nam 1967-1968 USARV). Best wishes to both of you.
Thank you, Sir! And thank you for your service as well!!’
First of all, I want to say thank you for your service. I was in the Marine Corps for 8 years. Actually this T-Shirt is perfect for me, because I was a 0341 I was in Mortars. I was a Mortarman. And yes I did call for fire. Perfect. I will be getting one, also to help other vets. Actually that is more important to me than anything else is to help other vets. Just make sure you get ALL of your V.A benefits ok. Ya'll take care.
I have stood in line at the V.A. for and am receiving, every benefit I qualify for. Thank you for emphasizing this. I do the same thing for everyone I run into.
Thank you both for your service. From a belgian.
Hello!! Very happy to join the club! As a former NCO of the French Air Force, I friendly and respectfully salute you and your charming spouse. Thank you very much for the video.
you are one of the people i admire on this hobby , researching everything to the last detail, making corrections on the kit, adding all sorts of missing stuff etc. I doubt I'd have such patience, i much prefer to just build the kit straight away, so kudos to you sir
Thanks Mike! I honestly don’t do that “much” research. I benefit a lot from others who I consider subject matter experts. And yes, I too enjoy building a model straight out of the box after any big in-depth project. That’s why I have my little Ban Dai Star Wars kits sitting off to the side when I need a quit and easy break.
First, thank you for your support of our men and women who have served and are in need. There are so many organizations out there doing the same thing, to all of them thank you as well. Great start Ben and it is very cool to see your wife participating in the build.. Never miss one of your posts, keep up the great work, looking forward to the next one
Aircraft Maintainer for 35 years! Air Force! I loved everyday of it! I retired last April. I worked A-7's way back in the late 80's and the rest of my career from about 1991 was F-16's! It was such a wonderful career! Contrary to the t shirt I don't want my "MRE". :) I know this video is 2 years old, (How did you know I would be watching this two years later? ) :) but somthign that might be fun is artists doing paintings to hang on the walls of the build. Not sure what teh scale size of that would be and perhaps that is crazy I don't know. :)
Your very passionate about your modelling, the attention to detail is superb.
Thankyou for your service bro... I'm ex-Navy Submariner retired...excellent build and it reminds me of old submariner qoute which goes like this..." There's only two two types of ships in the Navy... Submarines & Targets😁😎👍👌✌Peace!
What a great video to see a couple modelling together, true friends make an excellent marriage💕
Hi Ben. I was a model maker on the 1996 film. We had actual real life ship fitters come in and create the hull plating on the 44 foot model. I am very much enjoying your video build series. Could have used you on the film! I'm excited to buy this kit and begin. Thx man! Mac.
Thanks Mac! I really appreciate it! It would have been fun to help out with a movie prop!
Glad to see this project start.
I like your problem solving and modeling philosophy. I watch these in segments but appreciate the longer vids over several short ones.
Thanks David! I wrestle with that a lot. How long to make a video and how many to make. I felt like I could get away with this because almost all of the hull prep work is in one video. I could have cut a bunch of stuff out. But it still would have easily been an hour long.
@@TheMidwestModelShop I thought it’s been well done. I like having the choice of the pause button!
Great Video Ben and Nora.I love how You use your initiative and experience by using plastic card instead of throwing money at it with after market etch like most others do,These models cost enough as it is.Keep up the good work n HAPPY MODELLING
On the rudder.....The zinc plates are called anodes. KUTGW brother 52:57 was priceless. That patch @ 59:20, just cut all that square instead of wasting time on trying to match curves. been there done that myself.
Anodes!!!! That’s right!
Really liked the tag team modeling/history approach - I hope we will continue to see you working as a team, thank you.
Just subscribed today, ex-military myself, fantastic what your promoting, THANK YOU !! I'm also a scale modeler, rock on.
Awesome, David!!! Thanks!
The size of this thing is nuts!!!! Also really loving the team work guys! Looking forward to see how this build goes! Thank you both for sharing!
On your stern rudder them little plates you coulden't figer out they was actually zink plates
Great intro! Can’t wait to see the Titanic with people.
Thanks Bro!
Thank you for making this video i just bought a 1/350 scale model of the titanic and i found this video really helpful. its people like you guys who make my day happier.
Oh and if you guys do a titanic model again can you have like a moment of silence or something to honor those who died. Thanks
Great video. Nice to see you and your wife working together. Some really good pro tips.
That was great that ur telling a story, while painting. I love that.
Great to have you back, can't wait to see how the titanic turns out.
I went to the Titanic museum a couple of year's ago very worthwhile visit.
That's one heck of a detailed model. Probably the best one so far. Speaking of which I haven't even started on both my 1/350 Lusitania and Titanic models yet which I bought back in '98, but then I want this one too.
I just found your channel by accident. I would sell my soul to be part of your model making crew.
Awesome!
I'm building the 1/400 100th anniversary Edition from Revell at the moment. I love the History of the Titanic and the Ship itself.
The work and detailing you put on it..... It's just *WOW*!
In my opinion the next episode could be much longer.
Wish it were online right now. Glad to see how it looks if you finish it.
Greets from Germany.
Thanks you! I really appreciate it!
Great to see you and your wife do a great model together can't wait to see more
Ha ha ha ... in grade six I got a Titanic model (about this size) and it caused me sooo much stress! LOL In the end I found it really educated me about the layout of the ship ..... but oh man, the endless hours of STRESS LOL .... (BTW I was in grade six back in 1991) lol.
Thanks ben for mentioning me. I am so honored you did so. I got more info ill share with you on the titanic, if you want to know. Thank you so much, I love what you've done so far!
Yeah man! Send me what you've got!
@@TheMidwestModelShop ok, there's a lot!
Great to see this project finally started.
Awesome video, both of you!! Great to see your wife getting involved. Mine is not interested in models, but does other crafts while I do mine. Keep up the good work. I'm getting ready to move, so waiting to start another ship until I get settled in the new house.
My wife paints small detials my hands are not steady enough for the smallest parts so she paints for me
The project is off to a great start! This is going to be a fun build to watch!
So happy I found this video. Really looking forward to the journey.
I do not have the 1/200 scale but do have the Centenary Edition 1/400 Academy model I have not built yet.
Hope watching you will help me get started. The Trumpeter kit here in Australia is about $600 so I may wait a while for that. 😀
I hope so, too! Everything I'm painting should be the same for you but only be about 1/8th the amount required LOL!!!
Nora has a great speaking voice. She narrarates well
Thank you 🙂
Ben, Nora - great start for a complicated build. Really looking forward to the rest of the story! Y'all make a great team!
KCS!
Good video, off to a good start on a new build. Good tip on putting the spray cans in hot water to warm them up.
Very first episode and we get an 80 minute video; hope this is a sign of things to come.👍😁
I'm only about 12 minutes in and I can't say Im all that impressed with the kit. Going by the flaws on the hull pieces, probably considered the two most important parts of the kit, it looks like you're going to be spending a lot of time fixing 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑠 - not a great start.
And 80 minutes just flew by. Loads of progress, probably because you've got help this time.😁
The "paint a passenger" scheme is genius, I wonder how many you'll get. My painting skills, or lack of, rule me out of helping but it should be a whole lot of fun, seeing what, or who, everyone sends in. I'm really looking forward to this build, especially as it's a passenger vessel, rather than a warship.
Herself should have no trouble finding "Tales from the Titanic" for each episode; there's just 𝒔𝒐 much written about the ship, her passengers and the crew.
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
Thanks Dougie! Good to hear from you, again!
The Titanic an illustrated history is a great reference book. I have a 1/700 one that I plan on building when I get all of the supplies I need. Wish you all the best with your build.
Thank You and this is the book I go to for my reference material.
What a fabulous team, your wife is a special lady, your a lucky man Matt. Just a fantastic beginning build, thanks.......
Thanks! Who’s Matt?
Oh boy, sorry Ben.......you look like a Matt.......
glad to see you both back , look forward to the build.
Tip, If ye paint the area below the waterline wi white first before the "anti fouling" red, the colour wi show better.
Lovely work sir. I watch Nigel and marvel at the work he is doing. I also appreciate the simpler "massaging" of what the kit gives you to correct and add detail. I look forward to the rest of this build. Also, either a screen grab from your portrait session or your wife's final product should end up framed on your backdrop wall . . .
Already on it. At a minimum it will be taped up for the next video and a frame will be in it’s future....after, it’s returned from the MOA, on loan of course 😉
@@TheMidwestModelShop Good man!
Excellent vid, great start, cool format - the historical narratives really add to it. There's tons wrong with the kit itself as far as I know so great to see you fixing some of the more glaring issues. Look forward to the next installment.
Those type of drill bits always, always break. Looking good guys. 👍
So i'm glad i'm not the only one thinking that this model has a wrong rudder shape :D
Yeah this was one of the very first things I heard about the kit. Not sure how they messed it up.
What a great start to this build. I'm looking forward to part 2.
You and me both!
I have used a cricket extensively for cutting styrene for my 1/270 Reliant model. The newer model does this a lot better than the older model Cricket.
Err I mean the Silhouette.
Yeah she has the Maker. It WILL cut all the way through the styrene, but it was going to be a bunch of trial and error to pick the best setting for that. Since we were already cutting 3/4 of the way through, that was more than good enough for what we needed.
Instead of using flexible, breakable drill bits, try using Milling Machine Bits. They are much, much stronger!
That's a good idea, but I'm not sure they make them small enough for the size she broke. Its rare that I even use bits that big on these models. Usually they are much much smaller.
Ahoy there great channel , that kit is very on demand . I scratched built her sister Olympic RC on my channel 198 cm .
I look forward to seeing the finished product I know it will look stunning as usual
I just acquired this model kit. Man is it going to require a lot of work!
Great to see you back in the shop. Always enjoy your vids.
Thank you guys
If you haven’t yet and get a chance. Check out the USS Yorktown in South Carolina. I stayed in it, ate in it and got to walk through it years ago. It’s a blast, if you are still able to do so.
The couple is very friendly! A fraternal hug!
Looking forward to this build. For paints, I primarily use Mr Hobby and Model Master, as most all Trumpeter kits call for those. I do have some Tamiya paints for shades not covered by the other two.
If you have too many subscribers donating figures maybe, you should build a model of the SS Wilhelm Gustloff. That had over 10K people on it when it sank on the evening of 30 Jan 1945.
Off to a great start. Been watching Nigel's as well. That build will make your head explode! Takes some nuggets to cut up a $350 kit like that. I like your approach too. The red came out good too. Looked like it was going to be too bright judging by the cap but it looks great. Can't wait for the next vid.
Good to see you both this time , looking good , I am following Nigel’s build but it’s so good to follow your approach as well and looking forward to the next video, good idea about the people and the short story
Always enjoy your builds
you are amazing model builder
I would wish yo have a wife sharing my hobby. Lucky you man
Great video. Your wife is very cool. Great team.
Thanks 👍
I love your little dog! Cute little thing! Great video!
Not gonna lie, the blow torch made me say WTF out loud LOL
Gotcha! LOL
I've been looking forward to this build since you previewed the Titanic last year. 3-D printed stuff can be fragile and rule one after you've repaired it - the missing part will appear!
I thought the same thing for sure.....this time, though, it still hasn’t shown up 🤷🏻♂️
Un vrai challenge !participation de l·épouse, c·est super ....Bonne vidéo ....A+
Merci beaucoup 😊
Thank you for going through the books you are using
Excellent timing just starting mine!!
Very cool project.
thank you for your service sir
Looks like trumpy put out quite a gem. More power to ya buddy.
my dad got one of these in the early 80s and never put it together and then i lost pieces my god this brings back memories
Really nice video buddy and awesome you wife is involved 👍🏻🇬🇧
For all those holes, perhaps a "manicure drill" might be more useful. Amazing job! Greetings from Queretaro Mexico!
Glad to see you back your work is amazing
I appreciate it!
The plates on the rudder are called sacrificial plates or anodes. Used to attract corrosion away from the ship.
Very cool! I build a Titanic Academy 1/400, but 1/200? Amazing!!!!
loved the detailing
Thanks!
Great to see you back modelling, and building my favourite ship 😊love it already looking great even early on 😊👍🏻some great tips there your videos are always awesome 😊hope you’re all doing ok 😊take care stay safe and look forward to the next vid😊
I thought modeling was dead finally. I miss model building so many closed down in my neighborhood
Nope! It’s alive and well. You will probably just have to order your kits online, these days.
Well I’m in ny. I’ve always liked going to the model/ train shop to look around touch and talk with other modelers to get an idea of my builds. In nyc there is only one shop and it’s in Times Square . I hate and love how it’s moved to social media now
Don't feel bad miss, I order those bits by the dozen!!! Lol
Look forward to following this build I too have this kit will get to it one day
IT `S SO Beautiful AND LOVLY
wow amazing to see all the meticulous corrections!!! Trumpeter should watch this and make the necessary amends to the mould!:)
I built the 53" Mantua Titanic model, all wood with brass fittings, great model.
That’s awesome! That’s the same scale as this plastic kit.
@@TheMidwestModelShop Yes it was so much fun to do, took almost a year to do, even put lighting inside and on the masts.
Looks amazing a lot of work done definitely paying off
First of all I'd like to thank you for your service in the armed forces, I myself had 5 uncles who served, 2 in WWII, 2 in Korea and a married in uncle who served in Vietnam. I myself have not served, I guess I was lucky to have been born in "58" so I wz too young for Nam & to old for Desert Storm, but never did I let my age hinder my respect for my uncles or any American Veteran who has served, and to express my respect for them, I wrote poetry for our troops back in 08 & 09 and sent 2000 booklets of poetry to Iraq & Afghanistan through care packs for our troops. With that said I too Im building the 1/200 Titanic and was wondering what exactly are the drill sizes for the portholes in the hull of this titanic model? You also mentioned that the stern is missing 4 portholes, I believe if you look again you'll see 2 more missing one on each side of where it says: Titanic liverpool. Anyway guys if you said the sizes I must have missed it, but that's what I'd like to know : ) otherwise I'll watch it again to be sure. Some of my poem titles are as follows: Soldier's Tale, Infidel sniper, casualties for freedom, forever vigilant, ghillie suit, soldier's prayer Pride and Glory, and Memorial Day blessing. Anyway you 2 I'll be watching. 😜👍👍
Thanks, Jack! I appreciate the comment. So I mention that you should measure your holes careful before drilling out the holes. But the common sizes that should get you close are 1mm, 2mm, and 2.5mm. Then things get bigger and off the top of my head I don’t remember. Just use a set of calipers or place the end of the drill bits in the port holes to see what matches. And yes, I mentioned and showed how to lay out the two missing port holes in the stern. I drilled those out, too. It makes the model look a lot better.
@@TheMidwestModelShop for sure on the missing portholes, and I do have a set of calipers too. I did manage to drill out most of the 1st set of holes that mostly lay central upon the hull at .070 then c/sunk them a little on the inside of the hull using a .125 drill all holes I did with a pin vise took me forever but I still have all eternity to finish before paint, then my palette will be set, I saw your video on the stern plates and tried to order them from scale the titanic, but that site closed its doors indefinitely, I really was hoping for them.
The good thing is I have plenty to do and hopefully someone else will take over for them by then. Anyway thanks a million for your help. 😜👍✌
Keep an eye on minibrass.com for new stern plates. I heard they are working on them.
@@TheMidwestModelShop thats is super good news. Kudos to both of you
@@TheMidwestModelShop you know guys if you'd like I'd send you some of my words, if you'd like to hear them, if you have an email I'd be more than happy to send you 1 or 2 for helping me.😜👍
What you guys s are doing looks great. I believe the art of kit modelling is to improve on the "out of the box", which will always be flawed, to the highest standard you can.
a couple that models together stays together : )
That little piece that broke off is right where it ran into the iceberg..😄
looking forward to the next video!
It’s already out.
I would love to have these templates to add to my Trumpeter model. They make the stern look incredible!
Great Video, great skills. I am excited about the following Videos! Greetings from germany.
I was considering this but after watching some of nigels modifications I thought against it. I’ll watch your build and see what it’s like. Might jump in.
I totally respect that. If your mind is set on KNOWING the model is super super accurate.... then yeah, unless you’re willing to make Nigels modifications, you should pass. But if you just like the titanic and can handle something that you know is pretty close to accurate, then give it a go! It’s still the most accurate representation out there.
Hi, I am getting to grips with Nigel's hull mods which if done really carefully work really nicely. I have started as he suggested and made a good start on the hull shaping at the stern. I am having working props too so that was an added interesting time! It's mainly the hull being too square that I found annoying. It is though very time consuming. Having all the scale the Titanic PE sheets too I wanted to get the thing as accurate as possible. I have already spent three times the cost of the basic kit on this project....so far!!!!! The KA upscale kit is excellent :-)
@@johnnyhollis9977 I think that those who finish her the way Nigel is demonstrating will be really pleased. I would love to see a side by side of a standard kit hull, and one modified to be the correct shape.
I have a new one in box in front of me and after 1/200 Bismarck i am having doubts...lifeboats wrong, rudder and hull. I will trade it for Hood i think on some buy/sell site
Nice job!! Thanks for the video 👍👍😉
Wow, really really impressive. Love your techniques and hobby skills. I notice that I'm a bit late watching this video, but I'm hooked. Thanks for this post. :)
Great work Ben.. wish I was that far forward with mine!! I will be sending a court summons to you for copying my drill jigs lol. Mine are Stainless steel BTW.
I would love to see how your stern plating looks under the paint.
I sent you an email with super top secret pics! That may or may not have also ended up on Instagram.
@@TheMidwestModelShop looking GOOD buddy.
Looks fantastic cannot wait to see more
i want to order the Missouri next for r/c conversion. after learning on Arizona .as my first model. i can picture myself holding the Missouri box. like a proud father.
Hope that Trumpeter will do a 1/200 Lusitania or Mauretania
Yeah its also cool that you support our troops God bless america.
