1:200 RMS Titanic Build Video 45

[@robcates2383]

It's none of our business, what your getting paid!! None of our business!!!!! Leave Ben alone, just be glad he's gracious enough to put out these videos!!!!!

[@coryheckler2354]

I pray you have no travel issues on this beautiful build. Thanks, Ben and Nora for sharing this build...I'm sure your client will love it in person. Safe travels my friend.

[@raybame5816]

Ben: It may be overkill but I like it and I'm very sure nothing bad will occur. She looks beautiful, you did a remarkable job. The owner will be really happy with this exceptional museum quality model. Thanks for letting us follow along.

[@barry-clark]

I've transported my 1/250 wooden Titanic through several house moves in a way less secure way and it held up each time. 🙂 Magnificent work Ben.

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Yep. I pretty confident it will arrive safely.

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

hi ben, you have completed a fantastic model of the tatanic, all the best with your next build

[@joemiserendino3161]

safe travels with this amazing build! thanks for the journey and looking forward to the next one.

[@chrisnichols4962]

Congratulations Ben, one down, and one to go. 👍💯

[@ryanjorgensen7873]

I hope that you keep these vids in archive so I can reference them when building my Titanic! Nice work! especially the rigging

[@avion34]

Phenomenal work Ben! I have really enjoyed watching this series, and I am very much looking forward to seeing the CV-6 build. After you take a short break from this monumental project of course.

[@AustinBoil]

I commissioned Chuck Miller to build a large scale Constitution several years ago. He shipped it in a large plywood crate across country but it showed up all intact thankfully. Fun seeing how you prepped for transportation.

[@rickpowell7668]

I am most impressed at your engineering skills. Thank you for sharing. I’m looking forward to you finalizing your Titanic.

[@garynugent4400]

Awesome job sir... I have really enjoyed this build all the way through. Can't wait to see the CV build and of course your lit up Titanic.. Thank you for the entertainment and the great work you do!

[@usssaratogacv3lefevre978]

Great job Ben.

[@davec4310]

Ship looks awesome! Gonna miss the build videos ☹️

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

There’s more coming.

[@BLWorks1982]

Beautiful model. I haven’t touched mine in over a year. Arthritis in my hands make it difficult to handle the small parts.

[@paulgertsch7105]

Great job 👍

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

What would be really cool is if Trumpeter gives us Ranger CV4 in 1/200 scale. They already did all three Yorktown-class carriers in 1/200. The 1/350 Ranger depicts her in her 1944 Measure 33 dazzle scheme, but was previously in Measure 22, and in fact reverted back to 22 in 1945. She also briefly wore Measure 12 Mod early in 1942.

[@aaronl_trains_and_planes]

When do we get the videos of you finishing YOUR Titanic?

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

When I finish it.

[@petrkozelka2553]

Beautiful for what it costs?🥰😍

[@scottmacdonald3390]

Now ... bring on the carrier !!!

[@Pozer714]

So how far does it need to be transported? The bolts in the bottom "IMO" weren't such a bad idea. Love ya man!

[@bac2future407]

Loved your whole build series on the Titanic Ben. You probably said it somewhere along the way but does your client have a custom stand for the finished model? The one you’ve been using seems unfinished. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the carrier build!

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Yeah he had a case for it and everything.

[@johnthomsen8802]

you want a challenge? I am building an HMV paper model of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse with the drydock.

[@barnyg6804]

Seems to be rumours getting round among model makers that Trumpeter are in process of designing 1/200 Britannic and Olympic, something to keep a ear to the ground in the future.

[@ingocernohorsky]

Trumpeter has announced the Olympic and Britannic in 1/200 aswell. If this Client asked you to build them. Would you Do it?

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Nope.

[@Tesserae]

Watching this series I kept wondering when the weathering was going on, only to immediately remind myself that this is the only model that will never need weathering.

[@-_deploy_-]

Fr

[@Lepper36]

I mean, not true. If they asked for weathering, they could get it, though that would involve a bit more interior decorating and a lot of angry breaking of the ship in two...

[@scottmacdonald3390]

I did wonder about the transportation idea you had for such a large and partially fragile scale model. I see you chose the "peace of mind" alternative and are delivering it yourself. I hope the drive time getting to wherever the model needs to go is not too long and you're not seeing US states you've never been to before.

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Well….. I don’t think there’s any state left in the union that I haven’t already seen, before. But I get what you mean 😉

[@scottmoore1614]

It will be fine as long as you don’t encounter ice along the way.

[@randomrazr]

how much does this cost?

[@SurferJoe1]

Waiting for RMS Titanic to arrive safely at her destination. Feel the irony.

[@SurferJoe1]

PS Please tell us she's not going to New York this time.

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

No! There’s actual hope.

[@SurferJoe1]

@@TheMidwestModelShop Here's wishing a safe and speedy journey- less than five days!- for this beautiful work of art.

[@maheshmali7310]

oh my God... I want this Titanic ship model.... how to order it?

[@calikush4]

Nice looking realistic model. Could I order one ? Do you have business email contact

[@robertkrusin9856]

Ben, I'm not sure if you have my new address for the delivery.. lol

[@giostrainnetwork9267]

Hello! This is Michael @ GIOS TRAIN NETWORK…. I’ve spent the last two years building one of these… trying to decide what I would like to do with it… wife tells me not to sell it… if I were to sell it what should I ask for it? I like to think it’s just about as nice as yours… I appreciate the advise in advance.

[@Anth230]

Did you sell it??

[@giostrainnetwork9267]

@@Anth230 good morning… I have not yet… I don’t have any idea what to list it for… everyone that comes to the house to see it states it should be in a museum… I should put a video out on my channel to show the finished product.

[@Anth230]

@@giostrainnetwork9267 Well I should think you could get at least twice what you paid for the model itself(including upgrade parts etc) But if your wife likes it and you seem to have the room for it. Just keep it.

[@oliverpearson1577]

Why the secrecy from the client? Is there a specific reason why he wishes to remain anonymous?

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

So people don’t bother him.

[@robinaroundtown...2194]

Beautiful job... And oh...the ship 🚢 ⚓ doesn't look bad either...lolol 😂😂😂😂 Just kidding of course... You did a phenomenal job 👍👏

[@scottysgarage4393]

You said "side pieces" and the wife said "Don't get any ideas"...I have no idea where her mind is... :)

[@Laura_Battleship_Row]

Hi Ben, I have started using "clinch nuts" to attached my stands to my models. These give a reallly strong fixation to support the models for display or transport. They can also double as +/- power terminals if the model needs power for lights; kzbin.infovhYN6nQneBU

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Excellent!!!

[@kjohnooo]

But what if you do actually want one shouldn't ya know how much? Lol

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

If you actually wanted one, you would already have a realistic idea of what it would cost. For example if you wanted a 2023 Mercedes GLE 350, you would not assume it was $100.
