Danke Captain Charty.

Thank You Julian, very nice of you.

Good day mate... Mark I messed up on this model, I should have taken my time.. Thank you Mark..

CaptainSmith23 Hi cap never knock your achievements , l love liners l have the whole airfix collection from the 60s when l was a kid .

@@markmccann5711 Hello Mark. How is everything in Australia?

CaptainSmith23 hi mate where have you been? It’s ok here unless you live in vic or Qld they are still in lock down.

CaptainSmith23 hi mate l just watched your QE1 build again and l like the windows in blue instead of black it looks great lm doing HMS Hood at the moment but when it done lm going to do the Queen the same as you have the blue really sets it off well done cap 👍👍👍👍

I hope that you do a better job than me. I got some part wrong. Good luck Steve. I've been to England a few times.

@@CaptainSmith23 I'll give her a try, but I misplaced the instructions and the decals. I did buy photo etchings for her so I can add davits, stairs and railings which should help. I thought you did a great job on your model and if mine turns out as good I'll be happy. I now live in England. I have been here for the last 23 years. I am originally from Minnesota

@@stever4181 You're from Minnesota, wow! how is life in England? I've dropped in on England some three or four times on the way to Austria.. The model, I could have done better but ran out of patience.

thank you Edward, very kind of you.

It's black thread ( rigging ) and I bought rings that you can buy at stores where you make your own jewelry. the ring are glued at certain points on the model ( string thread through ) glue rings where you intend on putting rigging..

Thank you Bob, very nice of you.

Ok

+CalFoxol Thank you Calfoxol. The France model is very cool I had a lot fun putting that model together.

+CaptainSmith23 Was it esay?

+CaptainSmith23 also do you ned to paint it?

+CalFoxol Yes you need to paint it ( spray can) the hull. You need some patients because some parts are small and a little difficult to work on but when you finish it was all worth it..

thank you!

+Joey Palochak Thank you Joey. too bad the model does not come with rails.

ok I know and your welcome

thank you. I messed up a little.

CaptainSmith23 I made one myself but I never thought to do the windows - I think it looks great:-)

@@ourdogzippy thank you... I was trying to put railings on as well but didn't know how then a modeler gave me the idea, window screens, just cut length wise and you have rails.

excellent Lester. Have fun!

CaptainSmith23 thank you! I really enjoyed your video, gave me some inspiration for my next kit.

thanks Lester. I wish I had a little more patients. I am currently working on a 4 FT. model of Titanic made out pop sickle sticks.

If you get a model of the SS United States, can you let me know where you found it?

CaptainSmith23 There is a new Revell 1/600 one, which is easy to find and it costs around 20-30€. The other models of the SS United States are quite hard to find.. but if I find any I will let you know.

My model of the SS United State just arrived. Revell.

Yes. very basic...

I think it was metallic plaid.

I would suggesting Using Photo edge parts to the model

The Queen Elizabeth didn’t have big vents on her decks like Queen Mary did her decks were nice and clean, like Normandie’s.

Plastic. Revell I believe. this model did not have enough detail so I had to figure out how to add windows. I should've had more patients with this model...

@@CaptainSmith23 It is an airfix model.(It says on the box)

After..

Oh ok

Hello RC. I have the QM. where did you get the Normandie? I made a Empress of Ireland out of sticks. I think i'll keep making ocean liner models that I can't find.

CaptainSmith23 .. it was a special edition limited number (67 of 500) by Blue Ridge Models and I sourced it through freetimehobbies.com ...I checked tonight but it appears they’re out of stock now. I got that kit about 4-5 years back... I’d been searching for a good kit of ‘Normandie’ for some years and found this one. It’s 1/700 scale and was pricey, but it’s a nice model with some weight for its size. This kit allows you to configure the ship as she was at launch or later after her refit...it also came with a really nice poster of Normandie which is now framed and on my wall near my Titanic and Queen Mary 2 models. I’ve also got Queen Elizabeth 2 in a 1/1200 scale as well....QM2 is 1/400 and the oldest of the lot, Titanic done nearly thirty years ago now from memory is 1/350 scale...was just looking through the kit...found a leaflet...www.frenchlines.com....check it out.

@@OrnumCR Wow! lucky you! they didn't make a lot of models of the Normandie. I will check it out. thanks RC!

@@OrnumCR the first ship on that website, THe Paris, she burned at La Harve I believe. Cool ship.

It's not complicated. what I didn't like about this model is that it doesn't come with railings or a lot of details such a windows so I make my own of most of my models, none the less you'll have fun with this model... Plus this model is bigger than the Mauretania.

The Mauretania is a little easier to build and paint up due to smaller size. I have made both, and I prefer the more classical steam ship lines of the Mauretania over the Queen Elizabeth.

No it doesn't

i mostly hate it how people say other ships look like Titanic when they don't

Why people talk like caveman talk? Or type like caveman talk? Is internet make us de-evolve? It not look like Titanic except in most superficial sense. Elizabeth ship bigger, faster than Titanic. Have two big smoke tube; Titanic have four skinny smoke tube. RMS Queen Elizabeth have cruiser stern and rake stem. Titanic have counter stern and perpendicular stem. Big fast ship built 25 year after Titanic so look less old timey. But one thing like Titanic: Big fast Elizabeth ship also needless lost because people stupid and greedy.

thank you.
