Academy 1\400 centenary Edition Titanic

[Deleted member 3568]

Here is todays go at this kit, I really am finding it difficult to get my mojo on this kit it has fought me all the way what with falling off the shelf, getting the mast bent three times then snapping off and all the trouble I've had with the pe, but I have to show willing as swmbo said when I was picking models for my birthday no ships you've not touched any of your ships for months. I really want the Warspite I have an idea for an awesome dio (at least if it works it will be awesome) and its one I never seen anyone do.

Looking good. The Warspite is a nice ship to build, very little flash and the fit is good. You also have 2 choices of which kit to buy; the otb version or the one comes with photo etch.

I won't be getting the pe one, will never touch the stuff again.

I actually think this kit doesn't want to get built ever time I go near it something goes wrong last time I touched it I spilt a cup of tea over it.

lovely build fitting tribute the lights give it the real factor , I have similar model thought of lighting I'll see in meantime be proud I would it being on shelf cry

I had completely forgotten this build even though it sits next to my computer, tbh I don't think I will ever finish it, it is jinxed every time I touch it a disaster happen.

I seem to have missed this Ken, apologies. I have the Revell 1/400 to do and if it comes out half as good as I will pleased. Nice work the lighting looks very effective.

I am so sorry Ken I m like the other blind mice on here I have not seen this before but just stumbled on it and after picking my jaw up off the floor 846!!!! I even told the wife and all different size portholes too!!! Then I read on and kept picking my jaw up!! The detail you have achieved is so realistic and so spot on, all the little hiccups eth the pe and that damned mast but you have still got the model looking so brilliant, lights and all the dogs biscuits, rigging the list is endless and the photography is so accurate to describe what brilliance of your skills


Here's one for you my uncle a long long time ago built the titanic out of matchsticks took him a few years but if I remember rightly it was about a a foot and then some in length ( mounted it on the wall )


I've always wanted to do a titanic of some description but always shied away as that rigging scares me and the fine detail sends shivers...... Your skills are amazing


Brilliant work


Kind regards


Robert

Tell you what I do like Ken, is that you have got the funnel colour spot on. White-Star buff-so many do it in yellow...so wrong.
