I'm really looking forward to this series. I have a 1:200 Mauretania hull, but I need to finish my other projects first...
Thank you so much for doing these videos. I'm currently building the Trumpeter Titanic and your videos keep me motivated and help get me over the stumbling blocks! Very much appreciated sir!
Just for your information, I'm an antique playing card collector and model builder as well, and I just so happen to have in my card collection a 1907 maiden voyage mint condition deck of playing cards from the RMS Lusitania, good luck with your model build and I'm sure you'll do a fantastic job on it.
Nice to have you back with another build, looking forward to see how you adapt this from one to tut' other
When will part 2 of the build be out hopefully soon. And hopefully you are having a great time building the ship
Couple of weeks I should think, I’m still gathering some resources together and I have a few busy periods at work to negotiate too! So far so good though, I’m enjoying going over the ships details and design
@@TheModelBoatGuy ok can't wait until then have a great time and enjoy the little things I I may suggest the 1/400 rms queen mary to switch this up after the Mauritania
How are you going to get the Cal-vents for the Mauretania itself?
Unsure, I might see if I can design them myself, and then get them 3D printed by a company. That’s probably the best bet
Hi Robbi, I hope the trip was all that you were hoping for. I would avoid populating this one as that would be more than punishment for you! Regards JH ⚓
Great to see you back again.
Welcome back to ship building modelboatguy, it's been a while but it's great to see you come back. Wonderful to see you give RMS Mauretania the spotlight, I did 1/600 airfix scale model of Mauretania and I did her in her 1933 cruise livery with white hull and bright green lower waterline, but that's nothing that compare to your masterful caliber, regardless I had great fun with it. Seriously it's great to see you come back and it'll be a magnificent work of art that you'll produce, no doubt about it. It's great to see Mauretania get some spotlight, she's underated.. really she is, so all the very best with her. Looking forward to seeing this project in progression, happy modelling mate 👍
amazing…. where did you buy the human figurines please?
Thank you, Check the video description for figures. There’s links to them
Hi. I’ve built that kit. I got the Gold Medal Model photo etch which had the correct net ladders for the forward and rear mast as well as the Marconi wire spreaders for between the masks. It also included the ropes around the lifeboats. For the deck, I used the custom scale deck 186 for the Lusitania. It’s not self adhesive, you coat the underside with something like bond weld press it on and leave it for about 10-12 hours. The deck is expensive but looks magnificent. Another advantage is that when you have removed the cut pieces, the remainder left over is the same wood deck finish for any minor repairs or alterations. As an aside, I think GMM may have ceased trading but their stuff is available through Tom’s modeling. I also purchased the 1/350 scale brass masts (they don’t flex or bend and don’t look like telegraph poles), I used fine ez line black for the rigging and funnels. Check out ebay, it where I managed to find everything. Expensive yes, but my Lusitania looks the part. Enjoy the build
hi can you help am making this kit but some how I've lost the front part of the bridge number B1 do you know ant where I can get one made please
I think your best bet is to contact Trumpeter. They are normally ok at sending spares out
Very glad to see you on here again. Really looking forward to seeing your work on Mauretania.
Can't wait to follow the build. Your enthusiasm and attention to detail is amazing. I'd certainly be interested in looking at potentially buying it when finished.
Well I wasn’t expecting the mauritania. Thats a cool change of pace, how long do you think this ones going to take you?
I'm glad to see you're doing another model. I always enjoy watching your videos and I appreciate your quality of work & attention to detail. Very enjoyable ! Thanks for all you do ! Greg Kilburn in Cincinnati, Ohio
Great to see you back.
Welcome back, really missed your extreme attention to detail and very much looking forward to your new build. Hate it though when the flat size gets in the way for your ocean liner collection (I know the feeling...) Best regards, Jimmy
I've got this model still in box from the 90s. Looking forward to seeing this as hopefully one day I'll get to it.
I’m so excited to follow along as you build this! Of course, I’m still basking in the glow from your Titanic build. Best one I’ve ever seen!!!!
Looking forward to this build😊very interested to see how you transform the Lusitania into the Mauritania. But the way you did the Titanic it’ll look amazing😊
Yes!!!! I'm so glad you're back. You've been missed, matey 🫶
YOOOOOO
Hooray! After months of therapy after the Titanic build, our sensei has returned to treat us with more modelling gems. Welcome back.
Looks like an interesting project. I still have the original Entex 1:350 scale Lusitania in the box and half built. Just have not gotten to finishing it in 40 years.
Happy to see you back, and it's going to be an adjustment watching you build something closer in scale to what I built.
Welcome back, no people on model I say.
I’m so excited!
Good to see you back at the model table. A fantastic project which I will enjoy following along with. Good luck with it.
Looking forward to this build. Thanks for uploading
Mauretania - great choice from my perspective as a naval architect! The three bladed propellers were as built but they cavitated badly due to the early direct drive turbines running too fast (geared turbines came later on other ships). The cavitation caused horrendous vibration and the original props were soon replaced with a four bladed design that was better but still not perfect -no computers in those days. With the hull, note that the anchor pockets are more squared than Lusitania’s rounded ones. The top decks also slightly overhung the hull unlike Lusitania. If building before 1912, you won’t need additional lifeboats and the First Class promenade can remain fully open (partially enclosed later). The engineering book of the Shipbuilder has been reprinted and has plans and many as built photographs -large and small scale versions of different publications were reprinted and you might be able to find a copy cheaply.
Welcome back! I look forward to seeing your amazing work.
Some much-needed serenity ✨ The best way to brighten up this gloomy world 😊🚢 👍🏻
So excited to follow along on another build!
So glad to have you back! Lusitania is my #2 gal...after Queen Mary...but this is going to be great nonetheless! 🤗

Great to see you back with a new project! Looking forward to the series.
Missed you 👍🇬🇧🙏♥️🌈
Yes yes yes! Finally a propper Lusitania build! I am so happy to see you back again
Dude, I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed. Mauretania = hell yes! She's one of my favorite ladies of the sea. Disappointed = Lusitania is my absolute fave. So I'm excited to see how you're going to figure out the differences between the sisters and make it work on the model, but I'm a little sad that you're just not building Lusitania herself. And I am just tickled that you knew about all of those differences. Maybe I'm too cynical from watching too many youtube videos, but most people don't seem to know all those details. One thing to note is that Lusitania made her sister work for that Blue Riband; it took two years for Maury to wrench it away. And when Maury lost it to the SS Bremen, she came within a half a knot of winning it back. Can you imagine how embarrassing that would have been for Germany? Probably would have been funny as hell too... At any rate, I'm looking forward to the build, and I can't wait to see how she's going to look when you're finished. :)
Excellent, I was only wondering if you we're coming back!!! Great stuff!!!!
Nice to see you back.
Yes!!! Finally!! I’m so excited!
First!
Hi. I'm also using the fine detail scale decks and ka. Can I ask. Why use black spray paint before glueing down the decks? Simply for the light spread escaping under decks/bulkheads etc? I'm thinking of just using the white and painting the black detail on the forward hatch cover later. Seems logical. I was concerned about any edges that may be showing after installing the scale decks and final fitting but it looks a nice snug fit. Any advice would be most appreciated. Cheers.
Hello, basically it is because the scaledecks are very very thin meaning they show whatever is under them. Some of the decks in the trumpeter kit are quite thick with is good for light bleed, but some are much thinner. Painting everything black first essentially removes any doubt in the issue. If a thin deck had light shining through the scaledecks would appear way lighter. This just reduces that effect as far as reasonably practical
@@TheModelBoatGuy I thinking about not using the lights. So I wouldn't need the black? Just a good primer and white? Thanks for quick reply.
Hi am looking at the rigging on the top deck how do I get them to stick on there are no hooks or anything in the kit
Well I used an add on kit called KA. This included hooks etc. if you don’t have that I’d suggest making your own, either from fine brass wire, or maybe very fine tacks
Hello, I have been watching some of your videos and you have a very beautiful and incredible Titanic, but I have a question, why can the 3D KA pieces be cut without the need to heat a knife, while the China 3D pieces do need it?
To be honest there isn’t really a single reason. KA parts tend to have the support material on the bottom, so you can cut and then sand. Whereas China 3D have support everywhere so you have to me much more careful to remove support material delicately. But the main reason is that generally China 3D parts are more delicate so they need to be removed very slowly, where as KA are far more robust
Hi am doing the hand rails at the bow but I've found out it doesn't meet in the middle how can I see to this is there another part the goes in the centre. I've got the 2 hand rails c17 & c15
I think the only way you could sort that is to add additional sections from spare parts. If you are using the KA set, you’ll have spares from the trumpeter kits brass parts. That’s probably the best bet. Mine lined up quite nicely, but I do remember having to tweak the railings quite a lot before gluing down
amazing job , congrats!
Hi again where do I get the hooks from as they're not in the kit and how do I fasten the rigging to the deck
Well I bought an add on set which included those hooks (quite expensive): ka-models.co.kr/?product=1200-rms-titanic-dx-pack-for-trumpeter&ckattempt=1 Another option would be to make your own, perhaps bending some fine brass wire?
