- This is the eighty second in a series of videos I’m going to produce to document the building of my Trumpeter 1:200 model Titanic. In this episode I cover adding:
- Decals to lifeboats.
- Grab lines.
- Completing the 25ft cutters.
- Painting davits.
If you want to see more regular updates have a look at my Instagram page (same name as the channel). I post photos as I'm building there so you don't have to wait for the videos to be edited!

Well done Rob, turning the incorrect flag problem into a logistical triumph was a very smart move. That's something else for me to think about, I may research tiny numbers, perhaps model railway decals in N gauge or something! Great video as usual, patience is a virtue! Regards JH ⚓ (Colombia 👍)!
Aah goodo on Colombia! Thanks for the comment, it was a bit of a nightmare really with the decals, a fair few mistakes here and there but we got there in the end. By the time the grab lines are on they are hard to see anyway!
Hope all is well?
Speak soon,
Robbie
14:37 The emergency cutters didn't have grab lines along their gunwales, only the 30ft boats had them.
Are you 100% sure about this? Even inflatable dinghy’s have them, just in case you fall out and need to get back in. 😮
@@polygonalmasonary just look at any Titanic photo and you'll see that the cutters don't have grab lines.
Yeah annoyingly I have found a few pics and you seem to be correct! No grab lines, well spotted.
I’ll get them removed, fortunately I don’t have to fit the cutters for a while anyway 🙂
Another great video, had my magnifying glasses on so I can see what you were doing.
Aye my eyes were hurting by the end! A camera which could zoom in more would be great eh!
Thanks as always for the comment Mark!
Outstanding as usual, I bet you were glad to see those minuscule details finally in place
Cheers Garry! Yeah very happy it’s all down, the model becomes ever more delicate day on day now 🙂
You could install a working steam engine and lifelike figures of everyone who travelled with the Titanic. But you know there always will be the one person who says: „The decals on the liveboats are wrong.“ 😂. Keep up the good work!
Haha I know, always the way. Hey ho you can’t satisfy everyone.
Though I do like the idea of some working steam engines on board
Amazing work, she is coming along very good.
Thank you!
Great video Robbie. Can't wait to see what you do with the davits.
Remarkable work. Don't want this to end lol.
No I’m getting that way too! But they’ll be other things built after titanic 🙂
Nice, a new TMBG upload 😃👍
So cool.
Lord Jacob Rothchild owns in his possession the #8 logo on Titanics #8 lifeboat.
Could you do the Britannic please I really wanna see it I want to see you build it
There's no 1:200 Britannic model for him to make, and I doubt there are enough pieces made to properly and accurately convert a titanic model into a Britannic one but I could be wrong. It is unlikely he will do Britannic especially because this one is taking so long as is that he would have to do pretty much the same thing all over again
@@inmyhumbleopinion7a few days ago Trumpeter announced Olympic and Britannic in 1/200 scale. But no date for Release.
I might well do a Britannic at some point but I’d like a bit of a break from the Olympic class for the time being! Three years on them is enough for me 😛
Great modelling once more. When building model loco kits a name or number might be missing from decal sheet. However judicious cutting of other decals would give the letter/number needed. Then with more cutting the individual letter could be inserted making the name or number required. Thus the boat numbers cut off could have used where they should,d have been.
Yeah you are correct, in the end I felt that they were too small, hardly visible really (and once the grablines went on very hard to see anyway!)
those decals really bring those boats to life... Question: what happened to the lifeboats after the rescue?
It’s a good question, they were unloaded from Carpathia and stored at the White Star wharf in New York for a bit. Where most things that could be removed were, either by souvenir hunters or by White Star. But an educated guess would be that they were assigned to other ships. For obvious reasons there was a huge shortage of good quality lifeboats after Titanic sank. The following passage from Wikipedia seems to tally with this line of thinking:
The 13 lifeboats retrieved by Carpathia were taken to the White Star Line's Pier 59 in New York, where souvenir hunters soon stripped them of much of their equipment. The S.S. Titanic nameplates which were not already stolen were removed by White Star Line workmen along with the rest of the identification plaques, and the boats were then inventoried by the C.M. Lane Lifeboat Co. of Brooklyn. They were assessed for salvage at a collective value of £930 ($4,972) as the only salvageable items recovered from Titanic. They remained in New York until at least December 1912; their whereabouts have been unknown since. One common misconception is that they may have been taken back to England aboard and installed on Olympic, Titanic's sister ship: however, this has since been disproven. They were either scrapped, left to rot in New York, or quietly redistributed to other vessels sometime after December 1912.
@TheModelBoatGuy interesting reading, thank you for that.
I always wonder where stuff disappears to
Amazing! I love following along with your videos! Where did you purchase the “grab line” decals?
These came in the KA set
I'd like to ask a question over a minute detail. When looking at the picture of Titanic leaving Queenstown, taken astern from the ship, you may see how forward lifeboat davits are a couple of degrees inward to the ship and aft davits positioned a couple of degrees outward. Are you going to impliment this detail in your model?
Hi there, yeah I will be. I will have the forward davits almost perpendicular to the deck, and the stern davits slightly outwards. I’m using china 3D davits which are already moulded in that position
Trumpeter has announced that they are making Olympic and Britannic models... Which are coming out this year. Do u think ur gonna get to do them?
At some point I will probs, though not for a bit. I want a bit of a break from the Olympic class liners after I finish Titanic!
Titanic is a enormous ship. I can see why you'd want a break. These ships are fairly the same shape. I'd want something completely different too!
You think you could build the Lusitania? I don't think anyone has did the Lusitania it would be awesome if you could do the Lusitania!?
There is only a 1/350 scale model of Lusitania available.
@@ingocernohorsky oh...
I quite fancy doing Lusitanias sister ship Mauritania. I’m from Newcastle (where Mauritania was built) so quite fancy doing something that was built where I’m from. Much like titanic and Olympic they were very similar ships with a few subtle differences
