Hi, you covered loads in that one! Liked how the portholes are coming out. I bought 2 sets in case I foul up as they are very delicate and make good fodder for the carpet monster! Glad I haven't got to mess with the electrics that much although I will be expanding the lighting to fibre optics onto the superstructure wall deck lighting and other bits too! Adding working props as you know so that will be enough for me! Yeah, go with the silicon and Polyurethane resin for the boats. I have used the white resin as that looks good even before painting. You will love the detail that comes out! I used a very light wipe of cooking oil when moulding the initial boat but to be honest I don't think you really need that when using silicon. My hollow boat idea worked well today, in fact, just a little clean up and they will be good to go! I can knock them out 3 at a time so not so bad. I will need to make slightly smaller boats too! Anyway good job so far matey it's good to discuss the way we approach things and you have certainly helped me with resourcing things. I live out in the middle of nowhere so getting to actually see some products is an 80 mile round trip for me! I do obviously use the tinternet too! Using your lead in research has helped me gather some really good materials, so many thanks. JH ;-)
From an mechanical engineerings point of view you’re doing a pretty amazing job so far, enjoying your videos a ton! You were talking about vibrations, so I wondered if you were going to do some testing on it (maybe with a vibrational spektrum app for a smartphone?) and if so, would you reinforce some parts? I was thinking about putting in some waterjet cut frames of aluminum to stiffen up the model -especially in the lateral direction-, and having sturdy mounting points. Other than that: superb job on the lubrication system, I think I will adapt that!
Hi, thanks so much for your comment. Particularly gratifying as im not a mechanical engineer (im an electrical)! Yeah re the vibrations that is one of the next jobs. It all becomes a bit involved as the characteristics change as you add weight to the boat, and obviously the hull being in water vs being bench tested has a big effect too. I didn't realise you could get spectrum apps for the phone, do you have any recommendations? Would defiantly be of help. Im defiantly going to put some reinforcements in, for a couple of reasons, firstly for stiffening but also as they will give me a bit of compartmentalisation which gives a bit of resilience to flooding should that ever occur! I've deliberately left that until I have all the kit in the hull though so I can work out the best places for the stiffening bars to sit. If I can get access to the equipment i would like to use aluminium but its finding a small business that will do such a small order of water jet cutting for me, otherwise reasonably rigid plastic (maybe perspex) would do the job too. Glad you're enjoying the build, let me know about spectrum analysing apps :)
@@TheModelBoatGuy I use the app "VibSensor", which should be available for iOS and Android. It's really helpful since you can export the raw data as a csv file (either with fft or time spectrum). If you like, you can measure the preliminary eigenfrequencies and roughly calculate where you will land when you add more mass ( with omga = sqrt(k/m), k being the stiffness, which will only increase with frames). If you can't find a waterjet cutter, you maybe want to get a fretsaw (if you haven't got one yet :) ) and some sheet material. For an exact cut, I always print out a 2D drawing out of CAD with 100% scale printer setting, glue it to the sheet and start sawing. Looking forward to your next videos! Cheers from a fellow engineer from Austria =)
Hello 🙂 Can I ask you is that option equal of putting fiber optics in the holes? Are the lights will be seen in every angle? Thank you and WELL DONE for this masterpiece!!! Astonishing job!!! 🤝👍
Hi there, yes the lights are seen from all angles. Because it’s a resin you end up with a sort of concave lens effect which really allows the light to be seen from all angles. Unsure what is better out of fibre optics of this though!
If you are thinking of adding lifebuoys to the model Amati produce the perfect 1/200 Titanic version in packs of 10. Cornwall Model Boats sell them and being just a tiny sprue of plastic they are really cheap and saves us the bother of making them! You will need 48 if you decide to add them to the ships rails etc! They are a little difficult to source. Just a thought for you! JH ;-)
Nice work on the port holes. What resin did you use and are they all applicable with a syringe. I have not used this kind of produce before. Thanks in advance.
Hi, very sorry it’s taken this long to respond. The resin i used is in the description. Yeah all the ones I’ve used are syringeable. It comes in a black plastic bottle and I just draw some out and use that
Hi, it was a UV resin. I just added a link in the description. I got it from amazon but it looks like the exact one I bought is no longer available. Plenty around though
Thanks! I appreciate the comment. It’s all just practice really. Little by little you get better and you learn new stuff. With time you’ll improve. Same with me, I do stuff on this and realise later there were better ways of doing it. It’s all just a learning curve for us all!
I can tell you better parts for the same money almost but who don’t wanna join discord don’t want to it seems 🤷♂️ Other then that I had the impression u kinda rush through things or overdue stuff and it gets more clear with every episode but that being said, if it’s good for you it’s fine :)
Hey, I did actually try the link you sent through last time but couldn’t get it working for some reason. I hardly use discord so might just be me messing it up. I’ll give it another go tomorrow, always on the look out for better cheaper parts!
TheModelBoatGuy especially the trumpeter group is toxic, friends made a new one and they’re also in discord :) I’ll link the invite link here again: discord.gg/fK2zRxF
I realize that I'm a bit late, and this might be addressed in later videos, but your yellow striping still looks a bit unclean. Just a friendly critique, it's magnificent otherwise. 👍
Hi, yeah you are absolutely right it is still a little rough. At the time of painting I favoured using a brush to give a bit more control, but in hindsight I think an airbrush would have been better as I got a lot of bleed under the masking. Sadly one of those things, I do periodically spend time touching it up and am iteratively improving it but I don’t think it will ever be tip top. That’s certainly one of the lessons learned from this project! Thanks for the comment 😀
There shouldn't be so many pieces!!! I'M not getting a Titanic model kit because there are too many pieces. The makers of the model should have had the Titanic painted before you pulled her out of her box.

Night snow... I have finally found the elusive song that MrNjersey plays sometimes in the background of his videos :P thx
Nicely done. Love it!

A parts diagram would be very interesting and helpful to see! Even a parts list for the propulsion system would be great too!
Okdokie, I’ll put one together for the next episode. Hope it helps!

I know you may not see this but can you tell me where you got the brass portholes? Also love the model and I can wait to see here sail fully completed

What kind of UV resin did you use?
There’s a link in the description. Just a cheapy one off Amazon but if not available there’s plenty others similar
Great work so far, can you tell me the product name of the item you used for the 'glass' in the portholes? Thank you

Wow this looks epic :) You are a brilliant modeller, I do some models but nothing as good as yours :(

TheModelBoatGuy thank you :)
Remember me form last video you t(e best man
Hey, yeah I do 😀 hope you liked the video
Yes I loved the video I enjoyed seeing someone trying so hard keep up the hard work by the way you are a great builder

Then whats the use of a model kit
If that’s how you want it to be
What? What's the point?
LOUDER - cant hear you
