Titanic 1/400

Ships
#1

Hey,

I am new in this group/site.
my english is not that good but i can handle it :slightly_smiling_face:
When i was younger i build a couple of airplanes and 1 ship (Santa Maria from Revell). The ship didn’t survive the next years, to my regret.

Now we are building the Titanic. it’s almost finished, but here ar some photo’s of the build.
I build quite slowly because sometimes I don’t have the time/inspiration. But when I build, I build with great pleasure and dedication.

Have a great day.

Welcome Tim, and the Titanic looks great with what you’ve done so far. Looks big … !! Does it have internal lighting ? Or a standard kit ? Looking forward to seeing more.:+1:

Hey Johnny.

Thnx for your comment.
It is a standard kit and it does not have internal lighting.

A lot of parts from this kit are terrible. A lot of flash and it does not fit well together.
This ship is almost done. We are working on the lifeboats now.

@Grauwolf thanks for your positive comment.

This is a standard kit from Revell 1/400.

We are working on the lifeboats. The surface of the plastic boats was not that good.

A thin later of aluminium foil is better. Of course we did some rigging.
1 done, three more to go.

Finally, I can say that the titanic is finished. Soon we will order acrylic sheets and we can put a dust cover over it. Many parts did not fit together well. So it was a lot of trimming, puttying and sanding. But we made it.

Thnx for your positive comment.

Dust is a modeller’s enemy. so we’re going to protect him.

On to the next project, not a ship this time :blush:.
