Best video to date on the Titanic build. Great for reference. Wouldn't expect anything less from a Michigander.

Can you tell what size of anchor chain you have used for the forecastle of your RMS Titanic?

@historicalmodeler1483 Жыл бұрын

I used the one provided in the 1:350 Minicraft kit, so it’s a little oversized

Just incredible work. Bravo. I have a few questions. I'm just starting this model and my wood deck just showed up today :). I'm using your model as a paint template so I've been studying the pictures as I think you did an amazing job at the colour representation. Did you paint the superstructure or did you keep it the original white? What did you use for the lines supporting the funnels? Did this kit come with photo etched parts or did you purchase an upgrade kit? If so which one? Again, beautiful build. Thanks!

Hello! I did paint all of the white parts with Tamiya flat white spray, including the superstructure. This kit did come with photo etched parts that I used, but I also used those that came in an aftermarket kit by Flyhawk, as well as some photo etched parts by Tom’s Modelworks. The rigging and the guy wires for the funnels is Modelkasten ultra fine rigging wire .06mm. Hope this helps!

Are the extras like the window frames etc 1/350 rather than 1/400? Are the scales close enough to get away with it? Nice job.

@historicalmodeler1483 3 жыл бұрын

All of the windows are 1:400 scale from either Tom’s Modelworks or the Flyhawk aftermarket kit, depending on which frames fit the model best on a given piece.

hier soir j'ai remarqué une erreur sur la notice de montage, et la meme erreur sur celle du modèle de chez airfix; bizarre😄; les pièces qui semblent etre des aerateurs, près de la première cheminée ; les n° E50 et E51 sont positionnées à l'envers ; les conduits devraient etre dirigés vers l'arrière au lieu de vers l'avant comme sur la notice ; et bien sur comme j'ai monté ce modèle il y a une vingtaine d'années , j'ai fait l'erreur😃; comme je les ai surement collées avec une colle pour plastique classique je devrais pouvoir , avec une pince, les décoller et le repositionner; les deux modèles au 1/400 de chez academy et airfix sont très proches; les seules différences ; les hublots déjà percés chez airfix et les bancs à part toujours chez airfix; modèle que je viens d'acheter; je vais donc remplacer les bancs fournis par ceux en photo découpe de chez tom's model

le modèle de chez Academy est une référence😎 ; je l'ai fait il y a une vingtaine d'années , mais pas aussi réussi. je compte en racheter un exemplaire et faire bien mieux ,avec un peu plus d'expérience😌; j'ai aussi fait le premier modèle, en bois, de chez hachette à peu près à la meme période et le modèle easy click de chez revell; mais beaucoup moins réussi que celui ci: plein de défauts de fabrication; et bien sur je suis sur le dernier modèle de chez hachette, en cours👍; oui je suis un peu passionné 😃

Where did you found 3 bladed central propeller?

@historicalmodeler1483 Жыл бұрын

I made it out of the original center propellor from the kit. Three of the blades were cut off, then I repositioned and glued two of those blades to make the modified central propellor.

HI! What kind of brown did you use for the handrails and wall edge trim? For example at minute 3:10? Thank you!

@historicalmodeler1483 3 ай бұрын

Hello! I used testors/model master leather acrylic! I should warn you that this paint color is probably too dark and not historically accurate for those handrails.

@historicalmodeler1483 3 ай бұрын

@@Interismomerdawjuve definitely true, and I based a lot of the colors here on his 1:100. However his more recent 1:72 model has a lighter color, and the digital renders by Vasilije Ristovic, which are generally considered the most historically accurate ever made, also have a lighter color.

Is the Academy model 1/400 better than the one of Revell?

@historicalmodeler1483 Жыл бұрын

I would say the Academy model is better overall. There are a lot of reasons for making that argument, but some of the main ones for me are the windows are much more nicely molded on the Academy, and you have the option of using brass or plastic railings. On the Revell model, plastic railings are molded onto several parts, and it would require a lot of extra cutting and sanding to remove them if you wanted to use PE. The funnels also look a bit bizarre to my eye on the Revell. That said, the Academy model certainly has its issues, the most unfortunate one being the height of the B deck walls, which gives the model an inaccurate profile. No commercial kit of the Titanic is perfect, but as someone who has built both the Revell and Academy kits, I definitely think the Academy one has more potential in becoming a museum quality replica.
