Titanic is looking fabulous buddy! She is truely magnificent!

[@xty9582]

Great Progress, I admire your patience. My last ship build was a 1:200 MO like you built last year. Of course I started in 2015, stopped for 5 years, then restarted and finished during COVID.

[@stevenwheaton874]

She is really looking good Ben. Great job.

[@truefilm6991]

That is some clean work! Well I think it's a real challenge building a Titanic model, since it's such a well known ship and in 1/200 scale you can really go to town with the details. Your work is simply stunning! Thanks for sharing.

[@scottmoore1614]

Love watching the progress! I built a 1/400 scale Titanic about 20 years ago and I would love to take on the challenge of doing this amazing Trumpeter model. I honestly don’t know if I’d be up for it! Lol. There is so much cool detail I was aware of when I was working on mine that could have never been attempted at that scale. You can certainly do it now with this model. Beautiful job so far!

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Thank you!

[@charliemessenger6537]

Looking great! That section of superstructure really starts to change the look of the model. Like watching a high rise go up. Lots of ground level work then it finally starts going vertical. I ordered a shirt on your first day (lucky order #7!). I love it! Fits great and it's a good quality material. And I got candy and a nice note (thanks Nora!).

[@B.A.S.Drydock]

I will say one thing, you've always been a detail guy, but on this build, you have not only jumped to a new level. You have excelled at it. Maybe it is the Nora effect or just experience. I am extremely impressed! People talk about doing museum quality builds as a figure of vision for their skill level. You my friend, have achieved that standard of excellence. Not that I am qualified to judge based on my level of talent. Your killing it buddy! Great job!!

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Thanks, Brian! I hope you’re doing well !

[@rogerredford6242]

I hope that this will be my next build. After suffering through the 1/350 Minicraft Titanic, I need a break.

[@philipcasa7379]

Outstanding beautiful job! You know how to build ship models and you certainly know how to modify them and I am aware of how hard that can be but I'm glad you're enjoying it thanks for sharing

[@stephenparkes626]

Hi ben great to see your new video ,imformative as always

[@bigeddie1231]

awesome detail sir very cool

[@gsbufo47]

Nice job.

[@dangazett6519]

I would also like purchasing upgrades for Titanic.I would like mixing and matching sets.Woodys look fantastic.Also any recommendations would be well received.

[@CobbettWilliam]

I have found that if you heat distorted parts to about 40 deg c and then instal them with your glue and a bit of weight that go back to the correct shape much easier.

[@jcramerphotog]

Windows and furniture would be great. I have tried contacting the guy who makes the furniture outside of Facebook, but no luck; I am not a Facebook person but would love to be able to buy these extras for my build. Thanks and keep up the great work1

[@jeffwilson2982]

Great work, but would like too see you actually making pieces and installing a bit more.

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

On the next section I can do a little of that.

[@jackvolta3489]

Looking fantastic Ben, btw love the coffee mugs, Ill definitely be getting one of those, I also receive a lot of comments on the shirt I got from you guys, and just an idea I want to throw at you about the shirts, the color teal green with the white H & W logo would be a nice representation of the Irish who built the Titanic. Btw I also sent an email for you guys. 😜👍👍

[@12steppimp]

I would love a set of windows and I would be interested in buying some of the parts you used from you guys.

[@Hilux5972]

Any chance you guys have plans to do some more of the clear window sets? Seems like those of us who couldn’t afford to begin the build when the kit was first released have missed out on a lot of extra parts that would be fantastic to have available. Cheers

[@keithfukumitsu4785]

Will you be addressing the apparent gaps between the deck and the walls along the bottom? The walls are flush fore and aft, but they look to be "floating" in the middle. Love the details! Would those bathroom/bed room windows have had curtains or blinds for privacy?

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

No curtains are allowed on bathrooms 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@keithfukumitsu4785]

@@TheMidwestModelShop And you pay extra for that lack of privacy on the Titanic? LOL

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

It’s a special feature

[@michaelsommers2356]

Nice model of a dog in the background. Was it from a kit or scratch-built?

[@matthewspindler14]

Hi Ben definitely interested in your acetate windows. Any chance of frosted acetate for the pebbled glass windows like the gymnasium had?

[@tumbleweed1970able]

I am in the UK And am interested in the windows and the 3D furniture

[@Bob-un1qy]

Not in a hurry, but will those windows be available again? I am about two months out, so again, not in a hurry and I will pay triple for them... haha

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

No, we’ve discontinued them. I may look into 3D printing them… but there aren’t any immediate plans for that.

[@richardh729]

I would very much be interested in buying the windows and furniture from you.

[@MJSNEAKERHEAD2003]

Hey Ben and Nora! I would def be interested 3D printed parts or photo etch for sale on your site! I have bought a H&W shirt, coffee mug and MWMS tee as well. I would def buy some stuff for my 1:200 build as well! Keep ‘em coming guys!

[@captainAlex258]

if I knew how to make those little figures I'd make one and send it

[@theimagefactoryllc2420]

I would like a set of windows let me all the items for the 1/200 model. Is this on your website?

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

We are working on them. As soon as they are available they will be on the website. We appreciate everyone’s patients while we get them ready.

[@MJSNEAKERHEAD2003]

Hey Ben! Just curious where you got the furniture for the Cafe Parisian?

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

I got it from “Amature 3D Printing” on FB. Yes it’s spelled that way. You have to email them and they will send you a sheet with products and pricing. But, I’m not too sure how quick they are to respond, these days.

[@MJSNEAKERHEAD2003]

@@TheMidwestModelShop cool. Thanks Ben. Appreciate it!

[@TC-qd1zw]

Thought this wass supposed to be a model build, not a self made entity. Notebook lug verge model supplied.

[@barry-clark]

Hi Ben, would be interested in the 3d printed furniture if you post to the UK.

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Thanks Barry! I’ll let you know if we do it.

[@stephenparkes626]

Can I have a set of windows please

[@ingocernohorsky]

Nicht build, but arent the railings not a bit low?

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

That’s where the instructions say they go. But I agree, they look “low” compared to the door handles. But the door handles appear to be in the middle of the wall. And that’s not right either…. So I don’t know.

[@richardbanko2067]

Add my name to those that are interested in windows.

[@oliverpearson1577]

Ben is there any chance of doing any actual model making in one of the episodes?

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Well, my models build themselves so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@oliverpearson1577]

@@TheMidwestModelShop I'm just comparing these Titanic videos to the Missouri ones, that's all. There was far more detailed model making in those. You used to show entire parts being built over the length of a video, now it seems to be dominated by commentary. I would much rather see parts being built and fitted, and I reckon the vast majority here would too. 👍👍

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Oliver this ship is nothing like the Missouri. It’s just a bunch of big parts that require basic assembly. In the next episode (just for you) I’m going to demonstrate gluing windows into their positions. Because that’s all the assembly there is. And you want to see that. I demonstrated installing the deck fittings in the well deck recently. That is 95% of the assembly process of this kit 🤷🏻‍♂️As the build progresses, and there items of note, I’ll demo them. My build will require much more commentary because I have to design the lighting system to work with the PE interiors. Bottom line, this build series just may not be of interest to you. The next build is a warship and we will have those steps again.

[@oliverpearson1577]

@@TheMidwestModelShop Well that told me! May I ask what the next warship is you have planned?

[@jimmclaughlin2728]

love your videos but could you spend less time waffling and get on with the builds almost 4 minutes on this one

[@yamahard3504]

very much blah blah

[@johnking2413]

Looking beautiful but did you get the Hight of the hand rail right as it looks way to low next to the door ? 👍
