She’s looking pretty magnificent after her repairs. The Battleship Texas Foundation has some amazing videos of her repairs!

I see your point. We have the USS MASSACHUSETTS here and a large part of her maintenance is done by volunteers.

Hey bud, great idea with the straws for the turrets! The hull work makes a big difference. Nice progress. That camo paint job looks like it will be quite a challenge. Look forward to the next update. Sorry it took me so long to get here and see this update but the hurricane had my power and internet down for a few days. Take care buddy.

This is bullshit I wish this didn't happen but they don't care

Oh yes and they will be removing the funnels and mast before it’s sank those will be apart of this stupid “land based museum”

I was going to resume building revell replica but your video seems quite grainy and hard to follow could you maybe do another step by step possibly? Looks like I’m gonna have to buy another seeing I’m missing parts. But regarding this video yes when I saw them signing the title it made my blood boil I was raged the whole day and couldn’t think straight, they just want the money and they FAILED MISERABLY hell I could have done and managed better I would have myself as a board member spent my time going out striping that paint panel by panel painting I’m sure if they saw this more people would have done something BUT NO NONE DID ANYTHING 🤬🤬 the more I think of what happened the more it stresses me out and I’m glade I’ve meet another fellow United States follower that has the same serious love for this ship. All I can do is cry about it because I don’t have 1/2 a mil to get her going 😭😭

If you want to meet the granddaughter of the ship designer in person ou can tell her how you fell😔

Nawwwwwwwwwwww

Yup.

480p..what is this, 2002?

I just watched this review for the first time today -- a friend on Facebook found it and sent the link to me. Thank you, Commodore, for such a glowing review! I'm truly pleased that you became so emotionally involved in the story while reading "Unsinkable", as that sort of reaction was one of my goals in writing it -- I wanted my readers to feel the same range of emotions about the ship, the people aboard her, and the incredible events of her sinking as I had done over the years. Thank you for yet another confirmation that I succeeded in that effort! Oh, and re: the review of The Age of Cunard -- no hard feelings, mate! I was honest in my opinions about the SS United States, you were honest in your reaction to those opinions. Which is as it should be. Fair winds and following seas!

We can't lose hope to save the liner

Good job buddy! Good ideas for the railings and the propellers! The base came out great as well.

Wow! Lots of details for that little guy! I was hoping they would have a photo etch set for my 1/350 USS MASSACHUSETTS BB-59 build. But they didn’t have any. But lots of great stuff on there website!

I was supposed to be on one of the tours today. I’m a pretty even keeled guy. I’ll tell you I am pissed beyond comprehension what the past 24 hours looked like for me. The conservancy I can’t fault. They did everything to make sure we were not done wrong from them. The pier is a complete disgrace.

Thanks for the shout out buddy! In regards to Penn Warehousing, I think blocking the tours is another way of trying to take possession of the ship! They already tried to sell her to Florida as their property. That is one of the reasons the judge granted more time past the deadline. <=^{

Dude, that is looking cool as hell! Excellent work my friend!

What a cool little kit!! That photoetch will be a nightmare to work with at that scale. Looking forward to more from this one. Have a great week buddy.

If they sink your favorite ship it won't last long. The alloy upper works will be eaten by the salt water.

I recently built this kit as well. In hindsight i should have changed the color of the lower hull and painted it a brighter red than the kit provides. I never glued it down so i might still change it at some point. Your build turned out great. Love your closing thoughts on...other things. 🤣 100% agree! God help us if we end up with an Obama 4th term, as we all know Creepy Joe and Cackling Kamala are just the puppets. Of course, you know they're going to cheat the election by importing all these illegal voters, so i hope theres a plan in place to expose that when it happens. God bless, and thanks again for the build videos. I am a Titanic fanatic and have a good collection of models I've built as well. Stay well, sir!

Something is missing in the stern of your model of the Lusitania. The semi-oval metal structure that supported the aft pergola is missing.

Man ! I love that book from Eric Sauder and his other books. I prefer Sauder and Preston than Leyton with his stuff of friends who are so rude and narcissist with people and costumers

I'm agree that Lusitania and Mauritania were so beautiful ships. Their designs are amazing and beyond modernity of its era. I liked always Titanic but I'm in love with Lusitania, Normandie, Mauretania, Ile~de~France, Imperator, Lancastria, Majestic, Aquitania, Kaiser Willhem II der GrOsse, and many others from mid 10's to mid 30's as Rex, Conte di Savoia, Europa, Bremen etc....... But Lusitania has something aethereal, romantic, splendorous, majestic, glamourous and brilliant that makes her UNIQUE ❤

Wich edition do you have from this book? I have one where pictures aren't so great than yours book edition , but it's the same book from the same author

Beautiful work my friend!!! I might need to pick one of these up.

She may be sunk as an artificial reef

I skipped and I thought you said “shahsararuru”

Wow! Amazing Book!

Awesome job! On both ladies! I’m also very much looking forward to Trumpeters 1/200 RMS OLYMPIC!

That “RMS TITANIC 75 Years of Legend” is a really great reference. Especially for something with only 40 or so pages! I got mine back in the nineties so it’s not in as good condition as yours is.

That was fine work there! A great result. I just picked up a 1970s version of this kit and yes, it's all white plastic. Happy with this version.

Same

Looking Good. Nice work!

looking great!

Nice update my friend, painting all those windows looks like it was a bitch! She is looking good buddy.

just a suggestion, you could potentially use one of the shiny 3 bladed props and paint it the same as you have to the others to get the accurate triple bladed centre prop. looking great so far.

She’s coming along nicely! I like the color choices for the name plaque!

Nice update on your Titanic! The propellers look much better than the shiny ones. Looking good my friend!

Hey Commodore, off subject but something you should know, Tom McComas died today age 86, so you may want to do a tribute .

Excellent start and video! I was hoping you would get something on the bench soon.. Looking forward to this build. Take care my friend. ツ

You should light her up man! =^>

Nice! That’s the kit I’m using for TITANIC’s wreck site build.

I also have the model of Olympic but still not built it yet.

awesome as always my friend. nice to see the sketch of Olympic's human form too.

Language😢

My copy just shipped! =^>

Definitely have a 3 blade on my 1/200. I also tried a 4 blade. Even from a model standpoint the 3 blade is out performed by the 4 blade. I am keeping the 3 blade though for accuracy purposes.

I see another TITANIC book in my future! =^>

Nice mouth! Keep your restorations.

Tenacious D 👌🏽👏🏼🤘🏽
