Ismay: "See here, Andrews. White Star has come to be known as somewhat staid, boring if you will. Any thoughts on how we might change that?"
Andrews: "One word sir: Rhinestones"
Ismay: "Go on...."
I googled it and this is historically accurate! 👍🏻😆🚢
If the real _Titanic_ had had those rhinestones on its funnels, the iceberg would have seen the ship easily and would have avoided the collision.
That is Uber funny!!!
Always look forward to your videos Ben! Your work is always outstanding.
Have the 1/400 version of the Model Monkey funnels and they look really lovely. Used a hot blade to take off the tree without any piping or the bottom of the funnel chipping off. I'm looking to getting their 1/200 versions and they're the only one who sale a version of the funnels without the piping and you can add the piping parts that come with the Trumpeter set. Those are versions I'm picking up. You should get a set at least to review and compare with the China 3d versions.
Excellent, and uber detailed, video. Hearing you mention your client's build repeatedly made me think that I hope the client is picking the model up from you when it's finished. Attempting to ship such a fragile beast would be near impossible. Dave
The model monkey funnels are very good but the China 3d printed ones are slightly better as they have a couple of tiny bits if extra detail that you will likely never notice. Not much between them.
Now you have to start hanging disco balls between the funnels! But in all seriousness, another great episode! Great work.
Hi Ben, The debate about the White Star Buff is very useful. No contemporary colour pictures as you say but there are colour pictures of the SS Nomadic White Star tender currently in Belfast. Its buff is almost identical to your choice, depending on the light in the photographs. Of course any determined enthusiasts might be able to write to the museum for a colour recipe. I will go with Mission Models thanks to your review.
Great work Ben. These tutorials are beyond helpful, making my Titanic project so much less stressful. It’s all about fun!
Gracias por la ayuda con la referencia de colores. Definitivamente usaré Tamiya. Saludos desde México
Great Vid! But now I cant not think of Sir Cosmo and Lady Duff Gordon at the bottom of the Grand Staircase...🎶🎶Unh-unh-unh-unh-unh🎶🎶
😆😆😆😆😆
Personally, I think the China 3D Printed one looks the best, but they all look good.
Yeah I feel a little bad. Because I’m using the China 3-D print, it has the most paint applied to it and I did the “best” job on it, compared with the other examples. My hope was, everyone would be able to discern the difference between them.
Imagine being a passenger towards the end of the sinking and watching a six story building collapsing onto the deck. Gives more perspective on how big Titanic was.
Hi Ben it's the china 3d funnels for me and my build
Great job. I'm going to need 4 of Nora's Disco funnels 🎉
Nobody quote me on this as being fact, but I do recall from my TRMA readings 20ish years ago that “White Star buff” was the result of Harland and Wolf being forced to experiment with numerous different paint formulas until they could find something which would not boil and peel due to funnel heat. The final formula that worked and produced the WSB color we all wish we could see was one which involved egg yolks as one of the paint ingredients. This is said to be how a stable, non-peeling formula was established. Can anyone confirm or debunk this? ~Cheers.
I can neither confirm nor deny this. BUT, if true, one could make paint just like they used to and experiment with a hot steam pipe and see what color the paint ends up being! And that would be REALLY helpful!
Ben - what a great posting - you have me wanting to build this kit even though i am out of my league
Went through the whole WSB ordeal and also had my issues with Tamiya Flat Flesh, tested various mixes from other brands and I finally landed on Vallejo Game Air Elf Skintone which is almost one on one with the Mission Models British Sand you used.
👍
How much do these kits cost
I'm way behind the curve here as this video is now 10 months old. I have 3 questions. Would you recommend annealing the Pontos kit funnel wraps to make gluing them down easier? Did you use Epoxy or CA glue? And did you find it to be an issue (orientation of the wraps, adding the other PE or plastic parts) to the Pontos wraps when you file off that short horizontal ridge just below the ring line for attaching the funnel rigging? That slot is present on Woody's wraps but not on the Pontos. Great video as always. Thanks for your help
I used CA glue and didn’t have any problems wrapping the PE around the funnels. On one of them, the wrap was a little “short” so I just sanded the funnel down and little on all sides until it fit nicely.
Thanks so much for the reply.
Unfortunately for me, I had to mix my own. I chose a darker more tanner version of your funnel colour, and I think it looks excellent mainly because it eerily matches with the 1997 Titanic movie's WSB. Even if the colours are varied within the spectrum, we will always be satisfied with whatever colour we pick.
Hello from SoCal, in LA. For some reason I've become a Titanic Fanatic. I have TWO Academy 1/400 kits (eBay finds) AND am now subscribed to the Eaglemoss' 1/250 AND the Agora partsworks 1/200. Besides having a TON of R/C model airplane kits. And two closets full of Star Trek kits. So, yeah...hope I live for another few years ......
Been waiting for this one
Didn't get around to mention....NOW I want to buy the Trumpeter 1/200 kit. Oh, my!
Watching closely. Since I cannot afford it all, I am enjoying this vicariously. :) Wistfully. 😟
Going to start my two 1/32 aircraft soon (a Thunderbolt and Skyraider). The latter, I had to go with Humbrol paints, as the shades of Mr Hobby are out of stock everywhere.
Last week I visited the Titanic museum in Pigeon Forge TN. I thought it was going to be kind of tourist trappy, but it was legit. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the ship and it's history.
Hi again Ben, meant to ask you earlier, what photo etch primer do you use please ?
I used SMS metal etch primer in this video. It’s airbrush “ready”. It’s not my favorite because you need to let it sit for a few hours, in my experience, for it to work right. This is probably because it is thinned for airbrushing. I use a Mr. Hobby metal etch normally and brush it on. (It’s a lot thicker) and seems to do it’s thing a lot faster.
@@TheMidwestModelShop many thanks for the help will order both to be on the safe side .once again many thanks .
Anyone know the pros and cons between ModelMonkey funnels and China 3D?
Sleepy dog just chilling the background.
Would i be able to use the woodys model work funnel wraps along with the KA rigging and ladders etc…??
Yes you can.
Ben, with this one you opened up the old can of worms!!!! But honestly, I feel whatever looks right to you at the end is all that matters. I used a peach craft paint for mine.
Your dog looks like a clone of mine.
Great tutorial, Ben! Love Nora's bling...lol.
With regards to the funnel colors, there are a couple of Autochrome color photos of the RMS MAURETANIA (1907) that were taken in 1928. She's in the floating drydock in Southampton. The OLYMPIC was docked at the Ocean Dock that day and you can see three of her funnels in the background of one of the photos. The White Star color seems to lean more towards beige/tan in the photo, but I would guess that's pretty close to what the color would have looked like in person.

Nora's weekly cruises to Fire Island.
What a great tutorial video. Your explanation are interesting.
Excellent review and thanks for mentioning us!
I would like to thank you for that recommended paint for the funnels. I’m fairly new to modeling, but I’ve always wanted to build a *good* Titanic model. None of my previous ones turned out well, because I got impatient and rushed them. I was also just a kid. Several years later though, I wanted to try again. So I started off pretty simple with the Revell 1:600 scale model. I wanted the colors to be accurate, so I purchased the color you suggested, and it was absolutely spot on! In the end, the model turned out pretty good. It’s definitely not perfect, but it’s a huge step up for my previous models, as I really took my time, and put a lot of work into it.
That’s fantastic! And that’s how it goes. The more you build, the better your models become! I’m glad I could help!
Hi Ben! Awesome work. I love the videos and they have helped me tremendously. I do have a question regarding the mission model paints. I bought alot of their paint for a project since we can't get model masters anymore but I have had a really hard time with the paint not adhering to the plastic, primed or not. Any suggestions? I'm trying to find a replacement for model masters and this was one of the first brands I tried.
Hey Daniel, I have switched to Life Color Paints since Model Master went away. But to make the Mission Model Paint to work, I first hit the PE and China print with a Metal Primer. Then I used enamel flat black as my “primer”. The mission model paint soaked into the black. So several coats is required. But it is not coming off. The combination worked nicely.
@@TheMidwestModelShop awesome thank you for the advice!
Humbrol Buff
Can you do ss normadic
Well I am certainly glad that Nora did not get her way if she did the funnels would look so stupid she would have f***** that s*** up big time no offense been and Nora but what I saw with the sparkly funnel I do not like it but I do like the copper color funnel look pretty good but yeah the other one if you think about selling that to let you know I will not buy one now of course it's your model kit you design the way you want to design it but for me I'm a person that likes to have it exactly historically correct so I am going to use the mission model paint that Ben suggested and used on my kit but as far as the sparkly ones go NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I understand your code talk. We will send you four sparkly ones immediately.
@@TheMidwestModelShop how can you send me four sparkly funnels that I don't want when you do not have my address
@@TheMidwestModelShop I got bad feeling this is Nora reading these messages from me
Wrong. My response would have been “eat poop” 😁
@@noramarie1709 and my response is you eat it first
Lol, nora's funnel reminds me of rupaul drag race lmao.
After these reviews of china 3d I've changed my mind ordering them. I'll stick with the kit parts and the woody works. For me it works and no danger of destroying the sets like the 3d printed ones, and the colors I'll just stick with black and peach color for the funnels.
great work ben i thought the whistle was gold or the color at the was under the black color its hard to say
Yes the whistle is gold. I just had not painted it yet in this video. It took all week to get those examples together. I realize it would have helped some people even more if each version was “complete” but I just didn’t have the time and resources for that. Besides the fact that a lot of it is redundant.
Omg that doggy is so cute
This looks awesome. Did you use the same color in the well decks?
Nope
You, biast !!!!!!!, against pontas realy bad !!!!! .
I bought the Pontos kit for my build and that is what I’m using. I’m using them for my next build, too. It’s just a comparison between products.
The big advantage in nobody knowing the right color is that no one can prove that you're wrong.
That is 100% correct!
In your honest opinion, because I’m looking at replacing/ improving the funnels on my kit, which would you prefer???? The China 3D print or the Woody’s mod??? Little concerned about the brittleness of the plastic on the 3D printed ones…..
If you’re at all worried about the brittleness, then go with Woodys. It’s a known system that most people have experience with.
I keep seeing after market parts for a 1/144 RMS Titanic but I haven't actually seen a model kit for them to be installed on.
That’s interesting 🧐
