Never done a boat or a ship this looks very nice and promising to be a great build. I was given a titanic 7 Years ago and it's still in the box. Maybe one day I'll give it a bash. Keep up the great work.I look forward to more progress on this keep if coming.

Looking good, all that gold, must have driven you crazy

 

[stona]

Looks great!


I made this kit in about 1806, just after the battle of Trafalgar, and it definitely didn't come out looking like this


Cheers

Hi all I've decided to do something different with this and it involves this


View attachment 114285



It flickers just like a real candle and the other one is kaput so I developed a cunning plan so, off with the transom


View attachment 114286



can you guess where this is going


drilled out the windows


View attachment 114287



then removed the rest of the window


yes thats right I'm going to RC it, only joking, lighting up the state cabins.

 

[Graham D]

Lighting the cabins will look good

 

[steve244]

love all the guilding you have done and nice idea for the lighting it will be interesting to see how you go about it.


cheers steve

Hi all a small update on this, The transom sticks out past the gallaries on the sides and I didnt like the way Airfix just moulded them flat so I've rounded the edges and reguilded them

also the grills on the prow are not moulded all the way through so I drilled all the holes out.
