Radio Control Trumpeter 1:200 Titanic Build Part 74 - Ventilators

[@IsaiahMiguelMagallon]

I cant wait to see it done. Sometimes i will just rewatch the whole series for fun. Greetings from washington state (United States Of America)

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Nice to speak to someone from Washington! It won’t be long till it’s finished now 🙂

[@marktrevett8438]

Great video again, Hopefully if you have time over Xmas you can not relax but do more of the model.

[@johnnyhollis9977]

Nice Rob. I agree, patch the ventilator floor for starters. People having a chat in that area may sort it but I wouldn't add any deck loungers there! That's the last place people would want to sit! I will be looking at the winch scale, if indeed I need them on my model. I will research that thanks to you highlighting them. Looking good with her bits in place! Regards JH ⚓

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Hi there, yes I think your right on the patch repair. Did olympic change her winch complement during her life then? Cheers, Robbie

[@rodadams8422]

Absolutely remarkable work 👏 👌

[@andyo5942]

She looks amazing Robbie really great job your doing I had a thought are you going to add her horn so she has a voice that would be amazing keep up the great work looking forward to the next video

[@stephenparkes626]

Great work as always

[@petegrant4070]

Another superlative episode. Thanks for your work…

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Thank you for the lovely comment! Have a good Christmas / hol 🙂

[@ghostofkadesh9041]

Nice work as always, Merry Christmas TMBG 😃👍

[@briancorkery4083]

Love this channel. The detail is brilliant

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Thank you!

[@canuckprogressive.3435]

You have inspired me to do something like this but without the major expense of the model let alone all your tools. I have ordered the Schriber-Bogen paper model. I'm planning to customize it by making my own railings and ladders, probably using scale decks and maybe some other aftermarket kit. Hoping it turns out even a quarter as good as your Trumpeter kit.

[@ianmcgee9945]

You've done a wonderful job on this model! For the hole in the deck, why not have a couple of crew working on it, maybe repairing a pipe in the hole...

[@viswanathanpather6849]

Looking good Robbie. I this is looking better and better every video. I also like the fearless attitude you go about doing things . Like when you installed the prow hauser in one of the previous videos. Have you given any thought to your next project?

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Thanks Vis! WRT new projects I have a few ideas but nothing set in stone yet. I plan in doing a video soon on new project ideas so I’ll go through my tinkling then 🙂

[@shaunholmes9900]

looking amazing. Are you going to add the Funnel Guy wires at end.

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Hi there, yep I will be. They’re just a bit delicate when there’s other stuff on the model so they will be added later on!

[@figurecraft4774]

Awesome great work I've been watching your build since you started and I love the details you are putting into it especially the interior of the rooms I can't wait to see your model finished keep up the good work did you know they made a new model with working lights sound and smoke and working engines and metal hull it's titanic hachette 1/200 I'm building it if you want to check it out on my channel have a blessed one and Mary Christmas

[@RCplamodel]

*That's a great Titanic.What a great video! So cool!!!~ I have an RC Titanic!~~~^_^*

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Thanks! I watched your Titanic build with interest actually, it was great 🙂

[@MartinFutter70]

The plating on which these ventilators and other bits and bobs sat on, is that superstructure or were plates added for reason? Just looks odd there's no decking up to and around them. Nice details, gives a lovely sense of completion by adding tiny details.

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

I believe the plates were additional to provide a solid and level base. It’s just a guess but I reckon these plates were stronger than the superstructure would be at that point just to help bear the load of the comparatively heavy ventilators

[@MartinFutter70]

@TheModelBoatGuy coolio, sounds a plausible explanation 👍

[@therealgarrymackay]

Was there any special reason why the boat deck winches were coloured green and not white like the rest of the equipment? Maybe to make them stand out? Also, did the model itself have any bearing on the colour you chose for the wall? It makes the colours of the model stand out so well. The intricacy and detail put into the piping work on those funnels is insane!

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Hi Garry, This goes back to a sort of tradition. Most machinery was (and to a point still is) painted in a colour called machinery green. You’ll often see pillar drills painted green. I suspect this was a subtle form of warning, intended to make people aware that these devices move and rotate, which therefore provide danger of trapping hands etc. The same colour was used on the windlasses and capstans, again I suspect because they moved. While the ventilators have moving parts they arnt very accessible so it would be hard to get your hand or fingers stuck in them as for the most part they were covered in metal sheeting so that would not need it.

[@therealgarrymackay]

@@TheModelBoatGuy Thank you for the interesting background, I figured there would be some logical reason. Have a great time tomorrow.

[@TheCondo5]

Hey Robbie looking great. Quick question about the ventilators. Is there a reason so many face aft? Are they all like exhaust?

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Hi there, I’m not totally sure tbh. As a rule of thumb I find the motorised ones are almost always intakes. I suspect the only forced extraction would have been to remove gasses, from say the boiler fires, galley or fireplaces around the ship. Various ventilators had movable heads so that you could move the aperture to face forwards or backwards to take advantage of prevailing wind conditions. I imagine all ventilators except those extracting gasses would have been drawing fresh air into the ship. The act of doing this would create something of a positive pressure which would expel foul air. Positive pressure is a bit of an overstatement, but provided you pull enough fresh air into the depths of the ship the bad air will find a way out! That is certainly the methodology used on underground railways, so I suspect similar on ships.

Hello my friend, how are you? I have a question about the Scalesdecks kit, apparently there are faults especially at the level of the waterway, can you tell me about the floor ka please? Do KA parts still fit? Cordially

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Hi there, On the whole i have found scaledecks to fit very well, there is an issue with one ventilator but that’s about the only issue I have had. Waterways etc are a little bit of a lottery due to the printing, but if you use the KA set this has waterways anyway that you can overlap so it covers the issues completely.

[@marinekreitschi9565]

Ok my friend, its very kind. I wish you a merry christmas

[@DerpyPossum]

I’ve always found the boat deck ventilator layouts to be one of the most frustrating aspects of Titanic research. There’s barely any clear photographs of them, they’re no longer there on the wreck, all the plans are just a little bit different, etc.

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Yep it’s a bit of a pickle. And there were a good few modifications made to Titanics ventilation based on learnings from Olympic which I think contributes to plans being a bit contradictory!
