Radio Control Trumpeter 1:200 Titanic Build Part 78 - Stairs and Railings

[@eclipsepicturestudio]

You should try to build the H.M.H.S Britannic when the Titanic is finished

and Olympic in her dazzle camo!

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Might do one day! I’m a bit sick of the Olympic class liners for now though! So I’ll do something else first

@@TheModelBoatGuy what ships do you want to make we can think of something 🤔🙂

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

@@eclipsepicturestudio id like to make Mauritania (as I’m from Newcastle)

[@eclipsepicturestudio]

@@TheModelBoatGuy That's a great Idea! I'll be watching to help you along the way 👌🌟

[@wallacehartley234]

@TheModelBoatGuy this is amazing! I have been watching your videos for a while and it looks amazing. very detailed.

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Thank you. We are not far from the end now!

[@astolatpere11]

Beautiful work.

[@MartinFutter70]

More sterling work, and just goes to show that a decent pair of tweezers is just as good as an expensive bender!

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Thanks Martin! Interestingly they are really good tweezers, but I have absolutely no idea where they came from. But yeah they great! Thanks as always, Robbie

Small parts do a lot for the overall impression😃👍

Hi Rob, excellent video and food for thought on the stair construction. The teak effect was a good call. The KA kit does have tiny additional pads and wooden anti slip gratings. Instructions, Page 10 parts B24, C16, C17. These may of helped a little bit on the angle of the hand rail grips. Somewhat ironically the gratings at the bottom of the steps were called 'splats'! 😂Honestly that's what they are called!!! Later perhaps the odd little person could be ascending a set of steps?! Regards JH ⚓

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Cheers John, I need to add those anti slip trees right at the end, it's on the snagging list but there's a lot of stuff to do! It would be nice to have some figures climbing the stairs, only challenge is getting one in the correct position for that. Maybe a bit of surgery would give us the effect! Thanks, Robbie

[@johnnyhollis9977]

@@TheModelBoatGuy Yes, probably easier to perform surgery on figures with legs in trouser! A little filing at the hip and behind the knees should do it. A little glue will act as a filler as the figures are so small. No anaesthetic required! John ⚓

[@marktrevett8438]

Good video as usual I think I've not seen metal caps on steps in any pictures of older ships. If you think about it they would polish the wooden steps so my guess is they didn't have Metal caps if this makes sense.

[@IllBushido]

Looks great! What is it you spray on the parts after gluing?

[@MJSNEAKERHEAD2003]

CA glue booster/kicker. Helps the CA set up much quicker than normal air drying time. 👍

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

Yeah it’s a glue activator, makes the glue dry fast! Unika Mitrebond MBNEW-AZ Industrial Superglue And Aerosol Activator, White amzn.eu/d/1V0Adqq

[@IllBushido]

@@TheModelBoatGuy oh cool thanks! I’m planning to put build this kit at some point soon in static display form so this helps. Do you use CA glue throughout the whole model?

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

@@IllBushido yeah pretty much. Only time I don’t is when there’s a good reason, so plastic on plastic, I’ll use plastic glue. wood on wood I’ll use wood glue. But most of the time it’s CA

[@AirglamGuru]

Laughing at the innuendos. The funny thing is, I am paying so much attention to the tech that I wouldn't have heard them if you hadn't posted them out...

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

haha I know, this is just me being a bit of an idiot but oh well!

[@AirglamGuru]

@@TheModelBoatGuy by all means keep it going!!! We desperately need some fun and to not take ourselves so seriously 😊

[@kevinbell9246]

What colour did you paint the funnels?

[@TheModelBoatGuy]

can’t remember off the top of my head, it’s a colour I mixed. If you watch my video on the funnels it will tell you there
