So I'm building the trumpeter titanic for my pops,he's an old sea salt veteran and this is his favorite maritime story,so I'm trying to give him the most accurate interpretation of this as I can,so I've been watching all your videos and believe me they have been a really big help,so thank you so much
Ben I am so glad that you mentioned my constructive comments in the previous video and better still that you took them on board. Honestly the videos are always far more engaging when you show the building rather than them being dominated by dry commentary. It's never boring, not to me anyway. And go ahead and mention my name by all means, I won't be embarrassed. It's actually quite flattering!
Thanks for an awesome video loved it ,few rums on a Friday night after a week of work and listening to you Ben having a joke with your lovely wife Nora while filming your build absolutely brilliant, thanks so much.
I enjoy your channel over most because of your comments. Many model building channels seem to all look alike, only so many ways to show a model being built and painted. I enjoy your problem solving process, talking it through to the audience. Thanks, and great work!
I went to subscribe to John's channel and come to find out I've been watching him for the past two or three days 🤔lol... he does have an awesome Channel very talented guy!👍
Ben that jig worked perfectly kudos to you Nora great idea💡👍 As for John already subscribed to him awhile back great guy & I watch his builds often, Love his videos as well as his voice...lol. I do have a small favor to ask of you for John which I will detail in an email. I'm super thankful for that tip about watching a video to the end, I had no idea that would help someones channel out, again thanks for that. Great video. 😜👍👍
In my years building styrene plastic models in my youth, using the very same glue you're using now, I always scrapped off any paint as it would prevent proper welding of the two pieces. P.S. for Nora's info, the smell was making me high and I didn't know it. Turns out kids back then were "sniffing glue" to get high on purpose, but I had no clue 'cause I was just a modeling geek. Love your channel and builds.
Great progress and explanation. I do like to see you gluein' as well as hearin' you talk. Helps make sense of it all. Of Course There is nothing like having a "new" camera holder/ pointer person. She adds flavor and witty repartee to this operation, lest we get too intense. 😆
I'm really enjoying this build! I learn so much from the explanations of how you solve the problems that come up. I've been subscribed to John's channel for a while now, and it is definitely a winner. He's a very good modeler.
Another great episode, no matter how much you talk. ;-) Personally I appreciate all of the info you share on why you're doing the things you do to make it all work! And I subscribed to John and will be sure to watch some of his vids, too.
Thanks for showing assembly of your client's vessel. The descriptions of what to watch out for while using the PE and other aftermarket parts is idea. Not sure the level of detail parts that will be added to this build, but can I assume that deck chairs and maybe figures will be added before the sides are completely enclosed?
Another excellent video Ben & Nora, I will be using Woody's Model Works PE sets as well, I have A-D already, waiting on E-G and furniture to ship! Just ordered my windows, love my shirts as well!
As much as I would love to commission this from you, I will have to order the kit and brave the process myself, however your videos are very helpful indeed, precise and in depth which I really appreciate :)
Hey Ben, Great video thanks for taking the time to show everyone what to look for during construction. At the beginning did you say Nora used her cricket to cut the windows? If so is that the circuit cutting machine, and has she tried to cut Evergreen or Plastruct styrene? I have wondered if their equipment could do so and have asked them, circuit, but have received only a canned response about hundreds of different materials can be cut. Take care.
The answer is yes. The machine will cut material as heavy as leather and light metal. I had her cut some shapes for me out of a thin styrene sheet. It worked perfectly. The only fiddly part is determining what setting to use so you get the right depth cut. They handle this by having you select the name of the material that you’ve put in there. Usually it’s there in the menu. Acetate was and it cut just fine. But the styrene involved some hunting and selecting of some material that was essentially the same thing. I have no idea how to interact with the set up software, though. That’s Nora’s wheel house.
@@TheMidwestModelShop Ben, thank you for the information, it is a big help. Could you ask Nora for me if she would be willing to do a short video of a test cut? Again thanks for the help.
Actually the reading and writing room had white window frames 😅,and.. Starbucks? it was the lounge not a restaurant lol, also 38:00 there was no door on the promenade deck forward walls
Hello Ben- Thank you for taking the time to reply to my questions, I know you're a busy individual! Do you have a list of your suppliers? I know google searches are great but I sometimes feel a little sketchy about some of these sites I find and tI ry to do my due diligence in researching them but the last thing I want to do is place an order only to find out it's shipping directly from the manufacturer....in CHINA! As always, thank you in advance and continue the great work!!
@@TheMidwestModelShop Yeah. So I just purchased a Blue Ridge (Very Fire)1/350 USS Salem from Free Time Hobbies and was looking for the wood deck for it. I've only been able to find one supplier who had it but they're in Australia. I wish I had more local resource but Hobby Lobby is about all that is around me. Thanks Again Ben!
Thanks for another awesome build video! I've been watching John's channel for a while now and absolutely love his work. So awesome of you to give his channel a shoutout! I'll be sad when these Titanic's are done, but look forward to seeing your next build. Take care and thank you for all your amazing videos. I always learn a thing or twelve! LOL
I have the 1:350th scale by Minicraft that I've been working on off and on for a couple years now but recently had an accident and now in a wheelchair and hadn't been able to work so I dug the kid up to possibly drag me out of this depression and awful time. In my life... so my question is could you recommend a company that sells detail kit such as decking and windows for that scale for a cheap price?
You’ll have to do some digging around. I don’t know about “cheap” for any detail set, unfortunately. You can get all of the big 1/200 scale China 3D printed parts in 1/350 scale for your kit though. Just go to the Titanic China 3D prints 1/200 - 1/350 Facebook page and order through there.
Did some checking on my channel about letting playlists ride for watch hours. If you let it ride on auto only the FIRST video will count as watch time. You have to check each video separately for watch time to count. Sorry dude.... Watching ALL of the ads in full does help the TH-camr though.
Don't worry. Those weren't supports you cut off. They are "walls" for adding the factory LED light strips to. They are all over the place on the kit. If you look at the LED instructions, you'll see what I mean.
I’m a little bit lost for words, so all I can really say is thank you
I like your channel, John! Keep up the good work!
Your work really is amazing John! Been a subscriber for awhile! Enjoying all of it! Keep it up! 👍
I was already a subscriber, love what you do!
I subscribed a while back.
I don't know your channel John but Ben's recommendation is good enough for me. I'll take a look, right after this.😁
Another terrific video. I got a chuckle from the comments about the Starbuck's, Internet Café and the dancer's poles.

Talking is great.... More Nora, she makes us all giggle! More stories!!!
What tedious painting ,Ben! Looks great! Press on! Thanks for sharing!
i like your videos and show how it goes together and the talking to tell how it fix together
Already a Patreon of John
Thanks for an awesome video loved it ,few rums on a Friday night after a week of work and listening to you Ben having a joke with your lovely wife Nora while filming your build absolutely brilliant, thanks so much.
I really enjoy the background dialog/ levity because it adds to the overall video duality. JMHO
Another enjoyable video always happy to see the notification for a new video come up
Yet another excellent tutorial video. The icing on the cake is certainly Nora’s laugh
Went to John’s site and subscribed. An interesting build he is doing - the Agora Titanic. Thanks for thinking of others.
been watching since the Arizona days. Nice job on this one so far.
Thank you for what you did for John
Thank's for another great video!
Hey Nate and Norah, glad you are doing well. Love your videos.
Wow 🤩 never got the first view before 🤗😆awesome video as always, look forward to next 🤗
Great job
Great show, thanks for your time and efforts 👌
She coming along nice Ben.

Great job. Props to your assistant during the final filming.
Love the builds.
Thanks Ben for sharing your wonderful work, and Nora I had my hand up. Your stories of the people are a nice addition.
Excellent episode! The devil is always in the details!
Enjoying the videos I watch a few of yours and I think they're excellent 👍

Ordered the glass…and a T Shirt…:)
Thank you!

I’ll be putting some deck chairs on. He didn’t say anything about figures. We’ll cross that bridge down the road.

*That's a great Titanic.What a great video! So cool!!!~~^_^ Marvellous construction works 😍👏*
Great video as always Ben, I use a dremel adjustable vice when I need to hold anything at a funny angle .great bit of kit well worth the money
This is coming along great. I love how precise you are with the measuring. I have one of those caliper things too, but I need to replace the battery.
Once I started using it, I found it hard to be without.

No, I don’t keep a list. Is there a specific item you’re inquiring about? …Most of my supplies are purchased locally.
@@TheMidwestModelShop Yeah. So I just purchased a Blue Ridge (Very Fire)1/350 USS Salem from Free Time Hobbies and was looking for the wood deck for it.

My hand was raised.
Awesome! Any tips on how to make the paint stick to the p e brass? Fine sanding just before painting? Primer first? Thanks in advance!
Make sure the brass is clean. Then you can use a metal primer. I’m using Mr. Metal Primer-R. Then use regular primer, then your primary paint color.
@@TheMidwestModelShop thanks for the information!
Where do you display here 1/200th scale models? I don’t have the room for my 1/48th scale airplanes. LOL.
Mod Podge Works excellent for installing clear pieces because it dries clear and has a great Bond
Hello, what kind of glue do you use for large elements? I see something red, what is it?
Question, are your t shirts available for uk 🇬🇧?
Yes, if they are not, for some reason. Shoot us an email and we will sort it out.
@@TheMidwestModelShop thank you very much 😊

Where is Nora's Batmobile
It’s just to the right of my work bench. She put a nice gloss coat on it a week or two ago. We haven’t forgotten about it 😉
I think Nora needs another cocktail!!
I was sober as a judge!✋🏼
Don't worry. Those weren't supports you cut off. They are "walls" for adding the factory LED light strips to. They are all over the place on the kit. If you look at the LED instructions, you'll see what I mean.
Pole dancing on the promenade, lol
I tend to watch your TH-cam videos on my TV and not able to comment.
Thanks for making the effort!
Bahhhh, Starbucks...yusss
Canopy Glue:It looks like and smells the same as Elmers PVA glue.
I reckon it’s the same stuff?
So… I’m not sure. I have had the exact same thoughts. Maybe give it a try and see 🤷🏻♂️
