- Time to tackle some cranes!!! These are the two forward 2 1/2 Ton cranes in the forward well deck. I also install the two forward ladders, completing the well deck.

Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's looking good.
Your attention to detail and ability to deliver an outstanding outcome is fantastic to watch
That is absolutely incredible work! Takes a LOT of experience to get these nice and clean looking results. The Titanic sure had a lot of clutter compared to modern ships, but that makes her a pleasure to observe. Must have been a lot of hard work to operate those cranes on the real thing. I think a "boarding room" model without weathering would be a good choice. Anyway: absolutely fantastic work by a solution oriented rivet counter. Thanks for sharing!
Going up those stairs? Better duck!
Maybe the next model is from Agora models. They have the Titanic. That thing is about 28 inches long. It's huge. Nice build. You have more patience than I do on those things
Nice adjustments. It's really looking fantastic.
Those cranes look real sharp, nice job.
cheers , the info. I was needing , those cranes are a nightmare !
Thanks very much for your time and efforts. Your style of noration is amazing and easy to listen to and full of valuable information. Top program, you could turn pro any time. Thanks again 🍻
Looking awesome. You inspire me.
2 videos in one week bonus 🙌
Just lovely clean modelling work Ben 🎉
Good idea Neal, perhaps a little mini sheet of a few would work well. These ARE included in the Pontos kit but I would guess that a load of folks would have the KA kit that did not supply them! Looking fwd to Olympic upgrades!!! Regards JH
Villejo paints are also great if you like using acrylics.
I came to this channel to watch the military builds, but have been fascinated with this civilian build. Thank you for the content.
Definitely the best 1:200 Titanic I have seen thus far!
Your attention to detail always pays off mate, just curious if you will weather your Titanic?
Love watching this channel!
In fact, the real Titanic have an about of 8 months or 1 year of wheatering in the exteriors.
For some reason I cannot see the other reply, but I have noticed that on certain photos of Titanic that there is definitely weathering on her, as you mentioned she was exposed to the elements for a time including sea trials, anchor and components would show signs too.
@@chadkwaterski3529 Plus the coal dust residue on the black hull.
@@johnthomsen8802 that too mate!
Ben’s weathering is absolute perfection, I hope that he does, just gives that used realism to each part.
Beautiful...
Goodness I can't believe how beautiful she looks. Outstanding detail; I can watch you work for...years. The cranes look great, but where the port one is blocking the only stairs to the well deck, as you had to bend the railings, how did one get there when at sea. You may have said how but I missed it. There are two stairs and two ladders to the fore deck but only the one down. Perhaps the intention was to prevent passengers from coming down to the well deck, the crew would use the bulkhead doors, as that area would be very busy during loading the holds..
Spot on! They were usually removed to help loading when in port as a swinging load of netted stores would destroy them if one swayed into the fragile stair rails. This set of stairs can be seen in the 1920's Olympic promotional film (YTube) with 2 ladies descending to the well deck. Ironically the footage is staged as the ships holds are open for dock crane supplying stores. As you say, that would not normally be allowed for passenger use in such situations and the top gate would have been shut too! 😉
@@johnnyhollis9977 Thanks, my assumption was correct then. It seemed logical (Spock).
Ben I am so amazed at how these builds are going, incredible job 👍👍👍
Wow, excellent craftsmanship Ben. Fabulous looking too……
Simply stunning work, such a steady hand working with miniscule pieces. Thank you for sharing!
there are some various ships ladders 1/200 sets out there on e bay both 3 d prints and photo etch available
Incredible work and absolutely stunning model.
Submersible footage of the wreck shows a closed gate at the top of the stairs with no sign of the stairs. Could be that it came off on its way down or possibly that staircase was removable and stowed. Hardly any pictures to be found of that area.
Just an observation, the "side wings" besides the bridge, should extend outside the width of the ship, and the way it looks right now resembles more Olympic than Titanic...
I think you wanna double check that.
@@TheMidwestModelShop Just a small observation, your model looks amazing nonetheless...
I think I know the area you are describing, the “railing” is incorrect. That was an error in the PE that was discovered too late. It’s since been corrected from Woodys Model works. But I can’t repair it on this build because it will rip up the deck.
"...again, don't do this in front of a video camera..." LMAO
Из🌊⛵🌬Одессы ЗДРАСТИ👍😁👌
forward well deck had a removable ladder, not a staircase any crew member going down that staircase would knock himself out on the crane jib.
Should Woodys Model Works provide those ladders?! hmmm
Good idea Neal, perhaps a little mini sheet of a few would work well. These ARE included in the Pontos kit but I would guess that a load of folks would have the KA kit that did not supply them! Looking fwd to Olympic upgrades!!! Regards JH
Hey Ben, the ladders are actually hidden away in the Pontos kit (page 12). However, a load of modellers would probably only have the KA so your point was relevant! I was thinking, a tiny bit of packing under the crane body (1mm) may have helped with the clearance problem. Regards JH 😉⚓
Thanks! I almost did that. I was concerned it would be noticeable… I probably should have at least tried it. Ultimately, noticing the support stand should have been angled and modifying it early on would have be “best” but those little things take a lot of research. And I need to finish the model.
Hi Ben, amazing, I am in awe every time I watch you work. I'm curious, what is the CA glue you are using. I still Have my 1:200 USS Iowa to do.
It’s “Bob Smith’s CA Glue”. I use the medium stuff.
Just about everything Ben showed me here reinforced my desire to not build this kit. He does an excellent job, but that does not imply I want to go through it too.
Some of these builds have been going on since the release. It's not a quick build. Nonetheless, I don't wanna build it either. I'll just watch everyone's progress instead. 😂😂😂
A question for you. The top of cylindrical base for each of the 2 and a half ton cranes seems to be unpainted, grey, or is it meant to be that color? Great video as usual.
They are painted grey.
@@TheMidwestModelShop Great, I must of missed that bit, I must pay attention more. Really enjoy your build work.
Really good work as always. What other big models before the Titanic and Missouri have you build for clients?
Sir, what is the clamping tool you have there holding the brass parts at around 3:45?
Tweezers.
Absolutely beautiful may i ask you how do you stop paint bleed? Am trying to paint the crane base's and where the doors are ect when I take the masking tape off it leaves such a mess??thanks.
Use Tamiya masking tape. Make sure the edges are actually pressed down on the tape. Then spray light coats of paint.
@@TheMidwestModelShop thank you very much.
what size styrene did you use for the blocks as I need to buy some stock please
