Time for a what if.
If Titanic had not sunk perhaps she would been a troopship.
So I will be using hachettes build the Titanic part work magazine's.
The main hull is all plank on frame.
Here's some of what's been built and a couple of illustrations of the Olympic in her dazzle colours of witch I will be using.
This part takes the build up to the start of the first layer of planking.Olympic_ dazzle camo 1917.png50968e25ef2b9a4ffc94a924fbf3f891.jpgP1040801.JPGP1040802.JPGP1040822.JPGP1040823.JPGP1040824.JPG

Hi Peter
Airfix this ain’t. Looks interesting, especially the razzle dazzle. I’ll sit in if I may

More work done all painted and now I am stripping one of my older Titanic's for the parts which are refurbished and repainted and I have finished the forward well deck and the second class lift entrance plus all the boat deck structures and the promenade deck side's.

Nice work Peter. And good to see the dazzle camo being used on a model. I like where this is going!

Cheers

I have decided to ditch the troopship idea as it's just not working so from now on its just the standard Titanic build.
And here's the state of play after giving it a new paint job.WP_20181023_16_46_12_Pro.jpgWP_20181023_16_46_20_Pro.jpgWP_20181023_16_48_11_Pro.jpgWP_20181023_16_48_21_Pro.jpgWP_20181023_16_48_29_Pro.jpgWP_20181023_16_48_41_Pro.jpgWP_20181023_16_47_14_Pro.jpg
