I’ll move the port side engine telegraph back to the same direction as the others 😉

[@coryheckler2354]

Very cool!

[@WhiteGloveModels]

Absolutely incredible how that brass really kicks it up a notch! Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@AussieScaleModeller]

Hey Guys another great episode , back on Board after a fight with covid, Thanks for the fantastic content across the board, cheers Jason, Aussie Scale Modeller

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Glad you’re feeling better Aussie Scale Modeler!!!

[@BuildingtheTitanic]

Like always your work looks great👋

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Ship looking good. Bridge looks awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@matthewrobertson2345]

Also the telegraph in the bridge the one on the other side doesn't go sideways it goes the same direction as the other four

[@christinabishop2533]

Beat me to it Matt.

[@philconner3946]

In multi-engine ships, if there's an emergency turn to, say, avoid a collision; to aid the speed and sharpness of the turn, the engine opposite the impending hit would be slowed, stopped or even reversed to help wrench the ship away from the collision. According to testimony, on Titanic, the only command from the bridge was "All Stop," supposedly due to the speed of the ship and the shortness of time before the actual collision.

[@rickgregory9616]

Your're brave using the glue bottle to apply the glue. My method is taking a sewing needle, insert it in a pin vice and use that as an applicator. You ship is coming along great!

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Know your glue bottle 😉

[@rickgregory9616]

LOL! 🤣😀

[@bernarddickinson9841]

Thanks Ben for another fantastic episode. Well done

[@sneakyfildy]

incredible details, gj

[@Coalsmoke]

You're correct in your statement about turning the rudder. Steering commands always referred to the "Helm", or the tiller. It was a system in place for hundreds of years since the adoption of the stern mounted rudder until the advent of international convoys during the Great War where a order to alter course would result in total chaos among the convoy ships.

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Chaos is so entertaining

[@paulgertsch7105]

Good job Ben looking forward for your next video

[@williamjacobs4278]

The binnacle held the compass of the ship and the wheel needs to be close enough so the helmsman can see it while he steers. Just something from my experience of working as crew on sailboats during summer vacations.

[@perrylamb6286]

That is cool. I think the detail is well worth it in the long run. Think I've said it before, but YOU'LL know the details are there, even if no one else sees them. The brass looks great.

[@FreeMan-JPLK]

Nice!👍

[@stephenparkes626]

Great video Ben as always dont work to hard .many thanks

[@matthewrobertson2345]

And the reason why It said 7 because there's two at the stern for the docking bridge at the stern

[@franciskutuzov6920]

Hi Ben, Again wonderful detailed explanations and work. The question of using the ship’s wheel and its direction relates to the days of sailing ships and indeed today. A tiller on a small vessel or a large sailing ship was pushed to starboard in order to steer the ship to port. All steamer crews originally trained on sailing ships but as more people began to drive new fangled horseless carriages, ship builders slowly had their steering re-rigged to make the operation more logical and in line with the use of a wheel rather than a tiller.

[@usssaratogacv3lefevre978]

It is super COOL!!

[@johnnyhollis9977]

Ben, great close ups! This stuff looks so much better when all made up as opposed to mine all stored in the box, so it's inspiring! The front wheel should be closer to the binnacle and the small standing grating placed probably where the patch is in the deck. Small lights would definitely bring out the detail in the wheelhouse too! I know the client build is a no no on lights! I was thinking about some fibre optics grooved in under the roof might be the way to go, food for thought perhaps? Nice brave video yet again, good job! Regards JH

[@paulcorrigan649]

engines were telegraphed separately for emergency helm control if you lost the rudder or needed to steer with the engines to avoid a collision, bit like a handbrake turn. looks awesome though Ben. are you lighting your bridge?

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

This is my clients build and he isn’t doing lighting. But I will be lighting my build

[@Hightower85]

Where did you get these from, dude? Amazing job! :)

[@johnnyhollis9977]

KA M1 Titanic upgrade kit. 😉

[@miniatures1]

How much would a model just like this would cost if you built another?

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

A lot. Let’s say you paid yourself $10 an hour and you also managed to get the ship built in 500 hours. We all know it takes more than 500 hours to build something “just like this”.

[@chrisnichols4962]

Another great job Ben. That brass sure makes it look sharp. Are you going to light those areas before enclosing them?

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

So this build is a “no lights” project. On mine I will aluminate the bridge and navigation bridge.

[@bradcurry3421]

whats the glue used to fill port holes on the USS Arizona? im building the trumpeter 1/200 Trumpeter

[@oliverpearson1577]

Ben I've been meaning to ask you for a while now - what actually is your day job?

[@MrJawa001]

Aren't the ship's wheels awfully low ? I mean it almost looks like you need to be on your knees to use them…

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Nope. If you put a figure next to it, you’ll find that they come up to the chest.

[@MrJawa001]

OK, my bad. I'm probably not as used to those scale as your are. Fantastic job, by the way, love your channel.

[@michaelsommers2356]

Walls? Walls!? They're bulkheads, swabbie. Also, it's 'binnacle', not 'pinnacle'. You sounded like you used both. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binnacle

[@SamLowryDZ-015]

You'll be telling us next it's not a boat.

At the pinnacle of the binnacle, it worked alright.
