Thanks, yeah as Stephen says there are a few new projects in the pipeline but not entirely sure what it will be yet. Im going to do a video on this at some point I think. See what people think :)
Just goes to show what a tiny amount of detail does to really enhance 'the look' splendid job and thanks for the info around those funnel lines, saved me having to ask. 😀
No worries, I mean this is just the info I’ve found. I’m still not sure why there would be a need for a canvas cover over this area of the deck, but perhaps someone knows!
She is looking amazing, Rob. I'm going to miss this series as well. Once you have completed this build. You have created a terrifically detailed model of this beautiful ship. There have been times that I thought I was aboard this ship with all the details you have incorporated into your build. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with you.
Hi Steven, thanks so much for the comment. Really happy you have enjoyed the series. I'll be a bit sad when it's done too, but it will always be on the shelf! Need to start thinking about other models soon! Keep well, Robbie
You might be alright there, I’m not an aficionado on china 3d but happy to look at some photos if you are unsure. WRT then being solid, all my china 3d stuff was solid, nothing hollow except for the ventilators. I wouldn’t worry about them being grey either, recently they have changed the resin they use to grey as it’s better for light blocking and apparently dosent impact the quality of the print
I watched it after reading this comment actually. Really detailed. Sad that there is quite visible deterioration but hey ho… it’s the sea, what do you expect!
Great video was wondering do you think the possibility for the railing by the funnels was so the staff wouldn't full on to the funnels and burn themselves? Don't no if the funnels got hot enough just a thought. Take care and really enjoy your videos.
Hi there, I don’t know tbh. The railings are very tall, much more than the height of the average person. So I suspect the railings weren’t for that purpose. The best theory someone’s come up with so far is that those railings were used to hoist a canvas sun cover but that might not be correct either! It’s a bit of a mystery whatever the true purpose was! Anyhow, thank you for your comment!
@@TheModelBoatGuy Thanks Robbie for your answer yes thinking about it now it was a stupid question lol I didn't realise how tall the railings were maybe someone in your group may know the answer. Am going to Google it see what I can come up with am shure you have already done it without a satisfactory response. Thanks kind regards Rod 👍
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
looking great. I went back to look but didn't find anywhere with you talking about the base and the stacked blocks and support beams. I saw you talking about the nameplate, but not the actual hull supports. It looks great and quite authentic. Have I missed it or can you talk about it in a future video?
Hi there, it’s in this episode: Radio Control Trumpeter 1:200 Titanic Build Part 18 - Dry Dock Stand and Forward Deck Fixings th-cam.com/video/M1uf2rzzV3Q/w-d-xo.html
I would like to build Mauritania, she was near identical to Lusitania but had a happier career, and was build in Newcastle, my home town. Unfortunately at present there are no large lots of these ships though, so I’m struggling a bit, and I don’t have the facility to build a large hull from scratch 😛
Hi there, I cover this in one of the very early episodes. All the portholes on the hull are sealed with a UV resin, which has allowed light out, but kept water out too!
Hi there, sadly they cannot. As much as I would like that I think the space constraints and the technicality of the system would make this pretty challenging!
Gonna miss this serie when finish, but thumbs up 😃👍
He's got another boat build in the pipeline.
Thanks, yeah as Stephen says there are a few new projects in the pipeline but not entirely sure what it will be yet. Im going to do a video on this at some point I think. See what people think :)
I have followed you almost from the beginning. And now she is almost done. 👌👍🏻
I know! Need to think of some new projects going forwards

Keep well,

This model gets better and better, I am amazed at the detail of this. Amazing work! 👏
Thank you!
Great video Robbie. Only 21 to go to 100. Already an epic set of videos.
Hi Vis,
haha not sure we'll quite make it to 100. But will be close. Not long to go now, need to start to think about new models!
Hi another great video
Thanks as always Mark :)
Great 👍 work sir ,finally got a email yesterday to say my china 3d bits are on the way.happy days ahead
Aah horah! Very good and about time, glad it’s all worked out ok in the end 🙂
@@TheModelBoatGuy after I wrote that they arrived came from Birmingham unsure if the are right as these are grey and the bases are not hollow

@@TheModelBoatGuy alls as ordered great relief many thanks for the advice
i like all of your videos mate :D
Cool
Wondering if you’ve seen the footage from the 2022 ocean gate expedition, it’s rly good stuff :)

There is a video about it. It took me a while to find.

Great video as always do u think thay will do a 1/200 scale lusitania model
I would like to build Mauritania, she was near identical to Lusitania but had a happier career, and was build in Newcastle, my home town.
Unfortunately at present there are no large lots of these ships though, so I’m struggling a bit, and I don’t have the facility to build a large hull from scratch 😛
@TheModelBoatGuy I know thay have a 1350 scale of lusitania
Robbie…did you make a display case?
Hi Brian, no I bought it from a UK based business called DSC showcases.
Very impressed with them both in price and service:
www.dscshowcases.co.uk
Oh man. Thnx so much for the link, I’ll definitely check them out.
I’m a huge fan and have learned so much
Wondering if you have sealed all those porthole windows from water coming in from all those bottom decks? Just asking..
Hi there, I cover this in one of the very early episodes. All the portholes on the hull are sealed with a UV resin, which has allowed light out, but kept water out too!
@@TheModelBoatGuy Oh cool, was just wondering, for the longest time! I guess I’ll have to go back and watch that episode! Cheers!
👍👍👍
i have a Question when you installed the lifeboats so can you lowered the boat or not
Hi there, sadly they cannot. As much as I would like that I think the space constraints and the technicality of the system would make this pretty challenging!
holy how many hours have u spent on it thislol
Too many is probably the answer
