    Hi Robert, Thank you very much for your reply. I also have this kit, but it will be a few years until I’m able to work on it, due to a backlog of kits. In the meantime, I’m learning some very helpful techniques from you and enjoy seeing your progress. Thanks and all the best with your build, Don

    Robert, your model looks fantastic! I especially like the gold painting on the quarter galleries and stern. The wood deck also looks great and was worth doing. I have a couple of questions: What type of glue did you use to attach the decking to the plastic? What size paintbrush did you use to paint the gold? Looking forward to seeing your next build update. Don

    It’s great to see a Mamoli Constitution being built here! I also have this kit, but it is stashed away until I finish some current work. I look forward to seeing your progress as you continue with this great ship. One thing I will probably change is the bow area, to make it look more like the Model Shipways version, which I think looks closer to how the ship looks now. I will have to do a little studying to figure out how to do this conversion. Your model is looking great! Don

    Hi Marek, The model is looking fantastic! I really like the close up photos of the rigging connections. These photos show your first class work in detail and are also very helpful to modelers who are building the San Felipe or a similar ship. I look forward to your continuation in October. Don

    The planking looks great! This will turn into a very nice model. Don

    Looking forward to your build of the Titanic!

    Nicely done!

    Nice work on the planking!
  31. Kelp
    Very nice!

    David, I agree with David G. The 1/350 Minicraft Titanic is in the size range you are looking for and is a good quality kit. You have a couple of options with this kit; the base kit, the Deluxe version, which includes photo etched railings, or, if you want more detail besides the railings, go with the Tom’s Modelworks Titanic photoetch set. Don

    Are you thinking of building a wood or a plastic kit?
  34. Kelp
    I have heard of rubbing alcohol also being used to clean the plastic parts. Any comments on the use of alcohol vs. dish soap?

    Evan, What a fantastic idea to show some of the framing! Your model is the only one I have seen which has included framing. Very creative, and it looks terrific! Roger, Thanks for pointing out to me the plating detail which shows the packing pieces. This clarified my question on how this was built. Don (kelp)
