Thank you Ben & Nora, i received your shipment of Tianic Benches and Anchor Chains today in London UK. First impressions are very good quality printing, so much beautiful detail. I am in awe that you got so much into the benches and anchor chains. Packaged well, quick shipping, all in all a very satisfying transaction. I will definitely use you again in future. I see you really put effort and care into printing these off. Cheers Ben & Nora 🍻 Phil.
Ships like her looked like big beautiful and stunning jewellery boxes, absolutely gorgeous. It seems utterly insane to send them out to war to get blown to pieces.
Hey Ben , you can should dilute the black brass solution with some water to reduce the aggression of the acid, try to add 15%-25% for better results, and then you can also use the diluted solution for longer usage. 18:10
I have used a lot of "Brass Black" on my muzzleloader builds and I have found when I let the brass in the solution for too long of a period I would get that buildup of dusty black powder from over oxidizing, try dipping your parts just long enough to get the color then rinse in cold water and let them dry on a paper towel after drying it helps to wipe them with a cloth to get a satin black look...works for me.
Check the cannon wheels. Usually the larger wheels are on the front of the carriage & smaller are on the rear. Sometimes the cannon barrels have to be elevated slightly to be level due to the curvature of the deck. Your dab of CA is an awful lot sir. 😮 Ship is looking good sir.
The cannon ropes would have been tight, along with the holdback rope to keep the cannons from rolling around as the ship rocked in the waves. Nice work!
the triangles were originally brass and called brass monkeys, and in really cold winters the balls would fall out due to the different rates of shrinkage between iron and brass. if you have heard the saying freezing the balls off a brass monkey - that's where it came from
Have you put a list of supplies/tools that you use for these builds in any of the video descriptions? I'm particularly interested in the battleship supplies because I'm building a 1/350 uss new york
I have a video covering the different tweezers that I use. I think it’s under the “Reviews” playlist? Otherwise it’s just paint, CA glue, Tamiya Extra Thin, and some sanding sticks/files.

Thank you, Phil!!! We are happy you like them!

This one never saw any kind of battle. I think the guns were more for defense and show more than anything else.
The Duchess has been launched. Now time for fitting out in drydock. Looks awesome 😎
Outstanding work Ben! Looking forward to seeing these cannons for sale!
Another great watch. Thanks for sharing these.

You should use a dry brush to wipe off the residue after drying so they look like tarnished and used pewter/ iron
I don't think they'd let a royal yacht get tarnished.
Awesome looking!
