This is the first episode in this build series and the longest one I have ever uploaded. There is a lot of work that goes into the hull to get it to the point where you can put some paint on it. That's what this video is all about. Future videos should be much shorter.
To see how to make serious corrections to the hull in order to get the most "accurate" build possible, check out Nigel's Modeling Bench here on TH-cam. But be warned, he is conducting VERY advanced modifications to the hull. His techniques may not be suitable for beginners. But definitely go give his channel a "LIKE" and "SUBSCRIBE". He does amazing work.

I just found your channel by accident. I would sell my soul to be part of your model making crew.
First of all, I want to say thank you for your service. I was in the Marine Corps for 8 years. Actually this T-Shirt is perfect for me, because I was a 0341 I was in Mortars. I was a Mortarman. And yes I did call for fire. Perfect. I will be getting one, also to help other vets. Actually that is more important to me than anything else is to help other vets. Just make sure you get ALL of your V.A benefits ok. Ya'll take care.
I have stood in line at the V.A. for and am receiving, every benefit I qualify for. Thank you for emphasizing this. I do the same thing for everyone I run into.
Thank you both for your service. From a belgian.
Wonderful work, how on earth did you talk Wife into being involved. Do you both own a retail store?
Ha! No we do not. She is a “crafty” person and I’m an enabler when it comes to those things. The Titanic was more her idea than mine. She watches me build a lot and so I asked if she wanted to participate and she said yes! So at a minimum I’ll have someone to help with the camera. And I know she’s curious about the airbrush. So we will give that a go as well.
Hello!! Very happy to join the club! As a former NCO of the French Air Force, I friendly and respectfully salute you and your charming spouse. Thank you very much for the video.
i got the model of the titanic
Ahoy there great channel , that kit is very on demand . I scratched built her sister Olympic RC on my channel 198 cm .
Lets gooooooo
Don't worry honey we all break bits.
Hope that Trumpeter will do a 1/200 Lusitania or Mauretania
What a great video to see a couple modelling together, true friends make an excellent marriage💕
The project is off to a great start! This is going to be a fun build to watch!
On the rudder.....The zinc plates are called anodes. KUTGW brother 52:57 was priceless. That patch @ 59:20, just cut all that square instead of wasting time on trying to match curves. been there done that myself.
Anodes!!!! That’s right!
That was great that ur telling a story, while painting. I love that.
Great intro! Can’t wait to see the Titanic with people.
Thanks Bro!
Instead of using flexible, breakable drill bits, try using Milling Machine Bits. They are much, much stronger!
That's a good idea, but I'm not sure they make them small enough for the size she broke. Its rare that I even use bits that big on these models. Usually they are much much smaller.
Well, actually you are building the Olympic
I know!!!
Yay
If you have too many subscribers donating figures maybe, you should build a model of the SS Wilhelm Gustloff. That had over 10K people on it when it sank on the evening of 30 Jan 1945.
Your very passionate about your modelling, the attention to detail is superb.
Really liked the tag team modeling/history approach - I hope we will continue to see you working as a team, thank you.
a couple that models together stays together : )
The size of this thing is nuts!!!! Also really loving the team work guys! Looking forward to see how this build goes! Thank you both for sharing!
On your stern rudder them little plates you coulden't figer out they was actually zink plates
Awesome!
I'm building the 1/400 100th anniversary Edition from Revell at the moment. I love the History of the Titanic and the Ship itself.
The work and detailing you put on it..... It's just *WOW*!
In my opinion the next episode could be much longer.
Wish it were online right now. Glad to see how it looks if you finish it.
Greets from Germany.
Thanks you! I really appreciate it!
Off to a great start. Been watching Nigel's as well. That build will make your head explode! Takes some nuggets to cut up a $350 kit like that. I like your approach too. The red came out good too. Looked like it was going to be too bright judging by the cap but it looks great. Can't wait for the next vid.
Excellent vid, great start, cool format - the historical narratives really add to it. There's tons wrong with the kit itself as far as I know so great to see you fixing some of the more glaring issues. Look forward to the next installment.
Great Video Ben and Nora.I love how You use your initiative and experience by using plastic card instead of throwing money at it with after market etch like most others do,These models cost enough as it is.Keep up the good work n HAPPY MODELLING
I've got a white chiuaua as well
Very cool project.
very nice, I got the MInicraft 1/350, I am studying a lot before starting, looks so difficult I am afraid to paint and start it. I am using your video as reference, do you have the video 2?
We are currently making video 2! Hopefully it will be out soon.
glad to see you both back , look forward to the build.
Un vrai challenge !participation de l·épouse, c·est super ....Bonne vidéo ....A+
Merci beaucoup 😊
*What a nice Titanic!You're doing a great job!!!~~~^_^*
Ha ha ha ... in grade six I got a Titanic model (about this size) and it caused me sooo much stress! LOL In the end I found it really educated me about the layout of the ship ..... but oh man, the endless hours of STRESS LOL .... (BTW I was in grade six back in 1991) lol.
Great Video, great skills. I am excited about the following Videos! Greetings from germany.
Good to see you both this time , looking good , I am following Nigel’s build but it’s so good to follow your approach as well and looking forward to the next video, good idea about the people and the short story
I look forward to seeing the finished product I know it will look stunning as usual
Hello, I just came across your channel and I have to ask. Where did you get the sign about in this house? I'm totally in love with it
I think Nora found it at Hobby Lobby.
@@TheMidwestModelShop kool, I'll check my local hobby lobby tomorrow. Have a fantastic easter
Great video. Nice to see you and your wife working together. Some really good pro tips.
amazing
Aircraft Maintainer for 35 years! Air Force! I loved everyday of it! I retired last April. I worked A-7's way back in the late 80's and the rest of my career from about 1991 was F-16's! It was such a wonderful career! Contrary to the t shirt I don't want my "MRE". :) I know this video is 2 years old, (How did you know I would be watching this two years later? ) :) but somthign that might be fun is artists doing paintings to hang on the walls of the build. Not sure what teh scale size of that would be and perhaps that is crazy I don't know. :)
Sorry I Skip XD ^_^
Tamiya Paint code for the nail polish ? XF + Sparkle with some clear coat gloss. Great channel keep it up
great update video . please tell me I get a 100% money back guarantee for the couch sessions ...LOL .
You bet 😆😆😆
If you could bottle your wife’s smile and sell it, you’d be able to retire. Thanks for tips and videos.
Sexy on the couch? Sorry dude spit up my soda. LMAO.
Sorry if I caused you to make a little mess LOL! I'm glad people are finding that Easter egg and it makes them laugh.
I have used a cricket extensively for cutting styrene for my 1/270 Reliant model. The newer model does this a lot better than the older model Cricket.
Err I mean the Silhouette.
Yeah she has the Maker. It WILL cut all the way through the styrene, but it was going to be a bunch of trial and error to pick the best setting for that. Since we were already cutting 3/4 of the way through, that was more than good enough for what we needed.
Great work Ben.. wish I was that far forward with mine!! I will be sending a court summons to you for copying my drill jigs lol. Mine are Stainless steel BTW.
I would love to see how your stern plating looks under the paint.
I sent you an email with super top secret pics! That may or may not have also ended up on Instagram.
@@TheMidwestModelShop looking GOOD buddy.
I suspect the decision making process for the next project was largely 'name a ship that had no anit-aircraft positions. None, none at all', and after Mo; I can entirely understand that!
This is 100% accurate. I’m very interested in the Hood. But because of what you mentioned....I am leaning towards the Enterprise or Hornet after the Titanic. I’m also “hoping” the Titanic moves along much quicker. BECAUSE there are NO anti aircraft guns 😆😆😆😆😉
Fun to watch
Hi Ben. I was a model maker on the 1996 film. We had actual real life ship fitters come in and create the hull plating on the 44 foot model. I am very much enjoying your video build series. Could have used you on the film! I'm excited to buy this kit and begin. Thx man! Mac.
Thanks Mac! I really appreciate it! It would have been fun to help out with a movie prop!
One question. Where'd you get the He-162 picture behind you at 1:00:54?
Hobby Lobby
love your chihuahua whats its name
Her name is Winnie🐶
Wow, can't believe the timing, as I JUST started the same kit. I am still drilling portholes... You referred to the Pontos Detail-up kit, is this the one you are using, or the kit from MK1 design?
Hey Bill ! We are using the Pontos Detail up set with a wood deck from scale decks.
There was 2,240 people on titanic when she sank more than 1500 people died on the ship
Great to see you back in the shop. Always enjoy your vids.
Scale model building has become a rich person’s hobby. Clubs and magazines bitch about how this generation doesn’t get involved in the hobby. The Titanic kit comes with a Titanic price. Add to that reference material and after-market sets and you’re spending close to $1000.00 to build one fucking model kit. I’m glad I quit this hobby after 50 years. For the money I spent I could have easily afforded that ex-wife of mine.
Any regrets? JK. I’ve reached out to Trumpeter to see if I could convince them to create a 1/200 scale Fletcher Destroyer kit. For many reasons, including the one you mentioned. We’ll see if they come through or not.
I like this video ❤❤❤❤❤ be 1:40 ry good you look mrbeast look mrbeast it,s over yet. 😅😅😮😊
Great to have you back, can't wait to see how the titanic turns out.
I went to the Titanic museum a couple of year's ago very worthwhile visit.
Great video like it very much .Hope more to come .Take care.
Not gonna lie, the blow torch made me say WTF out loud LOL
Gotcha! LOL
Dude you really married up.
I KNOW!
Hello man enjoying the build I was just wondering about how to get that book
I found them on Amazon, I believe.
@@TheMidwestModelShop thanks how good is the amt 89 batmobile
It’s a good model. It has the shape right and goes together easily. The chrome parts are a little annoying. I would strip all of that off.
I would wish yo have a wife sharing my hobby. Lucky you man
I would NEVER DEFACE my Titanic model by putting a Jack figurine on it!!!
That’s great Robert.
Great to see this project finally started.
Nice job!! Thanks for the video 👍👍😉
I may have missed it but are you going to light the ship? Great tutorial on making do with what a model company gives you.
YES! Yeah I didn’t mention we have the Pontos kit, a scale decks wood deck, and we will be lighting it.
Admittedly kinda hard to dislike... 👍👍👍👍👍
Don't feel bad miss, I order those bits by the dozen!!! Lol
Great video. Your wife is very cool. Great team.
Thanks 👍
Great to see you back modelling, and building my favourite ship 😊love it already looking great even early on 😊👍🏻some great tips there your videos are always awesome 😊hope you’re all doing ok 😊take care stay safe and look forward to the next vid😊
Really nice video buddy and awesome you wife is involved 👍🏻🇬🇧
Wow,,, What a Beautiful Lady,,,, Nice Boat Too,,,,
Very first episode and we get an 80 minute video; hope this is a sign of things to come.👍😁
I'm only about 12 minutes in and I can't say Im all that impressed with the kit. Going by the flaws on the hull pieces, probably considered the two most important parts of the kit, it looks like you're going to be spending a lot of time fixing 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑠 - not a great start.
And 80 minutes just flew by. Loads of progress, probably because you've got help this time.😁
The "paint a passenger" scheme is genius, I wonder how many you'll get. My painting skills, or lack of, rule me out of helping but it should be a whole lot of fun, seeing what, or who, everyone sends in. I'm really looking forward to this build, especially as it's a passenger vessel, rather than a warship.
Herself should have no trouble finding "Tales from the Titanic" for each episode; there's just 𝒔𝒐 much written about the ship, her passengers and the crew.
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
Thanks Dougie! Good to hear from you, again!
Those type of drill bits always, always break. Looking good guys. 👍
Hello!
What kind of glues are you using?
For pe-parts, for painted parts?
Do you have a video introducing your glues?
I am out of model building since 40 years and want to start again.
I use Tamiya Thin for plastic parts and CA Glue for the photo etch parts.
@@TheMidwestModelShop
👍
Where is Jack and Rosa?
On their way.
Is the model kit worth it. Doesn't seem like you are impressed with it or is there another kit you would recommend. Thank you great videos. Mike
At the time of this video, I wasn’t very enthusiastic about the Titanic. I started it because Nora liked it and it got her involved because of the human element. But I am enjoying it. There aren’t 56 oerlikon cannons to build, so I won’t go crazy. The next build will be either the enterprise or yourktown. OR a 1/200 destroyer that Trumpeter is allegedly making. But to answer you question, you should build a kit that interests you. This is the best Titanic kit out there.
I love your little dog! Cute little thing! Great video!
Looks amazing a lot of work done definitely paying off
Awesome! Thanks for video
Great job... the information you provide is fascinating!!! Can't wait for the next video!!!
Brilliant love it
That little piece that broke off is right where it ran into the iceberg..😄
I want to have one too. can you tell me where you guys buy it? pls?
HERO'S, every one of them!!!!
Lol the dog like "Here we go again...hurry up nd put me down pls"
The plates on the rudder are called sacrificial plates or anodes. Used to attract corrosion away from the ship.
Looks like trumpy put out quite a gem. More power to ya buddy.
Do you get an Iceberg with the kit?
Always enjoy your builds
you are amazing model builder
So happy I found this video. Really looking forward to the journey.
I do not have the 1/200 scale but do have the Centenary Edition 1/400 Academy model I have not built yet.
Hope watching you will help me get started. The Trumpeter kit here in Australia is about $600 so I may wait a while for that. 😀
I hope so, too! Everything I'm painting should be the same for you but only be about 1/8th the amount required LOL!!!
Awesome video, both of you!! Great to see your wife getting involved. Mine is not interested in models, but does other crafts while I do mine. Keep up the good work. I'm getting ready to move, so waiting to start another ship until I get settled in the new house.
My wife paints small detials my hands are not steady enough for the smallest parts so she paints for me
Too many damned ads. Seemed nice though. Bye.
Look forward to following this build I too have this kit will get to it one day
Thank you for going through the books you are using
Quanto costa?il prezzo?
Love the idea of this base mold of the hull, but it kills me to not see any rivets cast into the mold. To me, the rivets are one of the distinguishing characteristics of the ship as well as its tragic demise
Thankyou for your service bro... I'm ex-Navy Submariner retired...excellent build and it reminds me of old submariner qoute which goes like this..." There's only two two types of ships in the Navy... Submarines & Targets😁😎👍👌✌Peace!
after that promo , ill have to buy stuff from you!
