Looking great! Just tossing it out. You may want to cut down the decking under where you glued the aft C deck bulkhead. As once you get to the boat deck, the 3 deck layers worth of wooden decking will raise the boat deck higher than the hull sides. I know you mentioned it with the poop deck. Just not sure if it was an oversight not doing it on the bulkhead. Happy Holidays!
That’s a great point! Yes, I forgot to cut it out when I glued the bulk head in. I realized that after I put it in place. So I’ll make sure to correct it on the subsequent decks to minimize the problem later on. Thanks!
Are you priming the China 3D parts in grey? You might try black. It's a shame they went with that horrible orange material. They're such fantastically detailed parts. I think the light from the windows under the Poop deck is perfect. Everyone seems to over light their ships. This was 1914 not 2014. The light should be dull and yellow. Frosting the 2nd class windows was a great idea. As you said, it is an area hidden by the cranes and ladder anyway. Great update. Hope you both have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
Thanks Charlie! So I started with a white primer to minimize the number of coats of paint. This works with the flat pieces, such as the doors. So I’m inclined to believe the issue is just not getting the primer on all surfaces. The gentleman in China who does the printing recommends priming with a “metal primer” first, then applying a regular primer over that. And finally your finish color. It seems to me that’s too many steps. I do know someone who used black primer first and had good results. So I may go that route next. But the developers are experimenting with a new resin that is grey. It’s just an on going evolution.
I have the KA kit which does not have the PE nameplates. How can I get the PE nameplates without buying the whole pontos kit? Actually anything would be an upgrade to the kit decals.
I would reach out to Mini Brass. They are in France and make the lower hull plates. Including the proper name plates. Maybe they will sell you just them.
Model is looking amazing! I was wondering and curious what the brand and color is you used on the aft deck and poop deck and bulkheads as well as the bullworks? The instructions call it “dark mast”. I can’t seem to find the correct color? Thanks!

can you do me a favor can you tell me what shade of brown you used and the section to make brown what color is that exactly or is there a spray can for that
Good job now we we know what happened to the Titanic it was floundering with gaping holes thank you!!!! I'm your biggest fan!!!!!!
Amazing Ben! She is beautiful! I love her!
A worthwhile film to watch about the tragedy is 'A Night to Remember' (1958)
Better than Camerons version that's for sure.
Nice! Merry Christmas!
Magnifique et bravo a vous
stern plating looks great
Great update, Thank you for sharing. Hope you and your loved ones have a great and safe Holiday Season. Best wishes, Tony
That is a very cool video. Love the detail around the well deck and the lighting work you have been doing. Impressive work. Founder along! :)
Merry Christmas.
Its coming together nicely. Merry Christmas 🎄
Hey great video and Merry Christmas to you both
Another great video, much learnt so thanks for this. Hope you have a Merry Christmas.
Looking good!
Another excellent update video with some very useful tips :-)
Thanks Neil! Looking forward to my next package from the U.K.!
Happy holidays, Very nice video as usual and I love your little tips
Whoa, the way things are going down here we might need that 5 cents soon 🤣
Loved the video, hope you have a wonderful Xmas and a better New year. Stay safe and well
I was thinking that if you painted the china 3D pieces black first then white it might fix the orange hue issue
Hi! Can you tell me, please, what size of fiber optics you used for the stern? 03:48 Thank you in advance! 🤝🙂
Have you tried painting the orange resin silver prior to white? This is an old trick that helps provide a better coverage ability for the white.
That’s a good idea. I’ll give it a try.
Looking great!

is that an aussie 5c piece at the end
Yep
Great video! Any reason you didn’t cut the deck out from beneath the second class wall?
I forgot 🤷🏻♂️

I laughed out loud when im hearing the hum of the heating system and here comes the vacuum
It’s tough some days…

I paint the wall white, then go over it with model master “flesh” to get that look. The actual color is up for debate. No one really knows.
Happy Holiday have a great time. Love the detail work Those stanchions your going to paint, by brush or airbrush?
I painted them with a brush.
Found your fb page. Won't let me send you pictures. Into model railroading.
Okay, thanks for the heads up. Tomorrow I'll look into why not. Give me a day and check back to see if it will let you, please. Thanks!
Like your coins of difference country
I try to use the smallest coins from each country so people everywhere can reference the size. Hopefully it works.
With the poop deck glued down how do you get into the rudder in needed?
There’s no need to access the rudder.
1 question does the waterways bulwark come with the basic kit?
The waterways do not. But there’s some kind of bulwark in the kit. But it’s pretty crude.

? I’m not sure where you are talking about. I cover all of the colors in the videos.
