Great start to an addictive hobby! Bounty looks great!

I bet Jack @hjx could whip up a 3-D figure that matches the image you posted for cnc or 3D print pretty quick.

I would be interested in a few figures if you were to offer them through syren. I assume that is the Capt you are showing above?

Thanks Matt, I followed Ron’s advice and kind of mangled up the lines defining the bricks with a blade a little to simulate chips then painted them black, rubbed the finish with denatured alcohol to give it some fade then I used some weathering powders. I’ll probably go over it again when the deck is finished as it’s getting a lot of brushing and touching. Thanks Chuck, I've been giving those bolts the stink eye since I put them in. I’ll probably rip them out and replace when I finish planking. JJ

Vlad, Your deck is off to a good start! Try sanding the planks to the width with a long flat sanding board or stick rather than cutting or sanding by hand, you’ll get much cleaner seams. And test fit several times before you finally glue down, that way you can make several adjustments. Then once all the planks are glued down give them a nice sand with a small sanding block to take them all down to an even height.

Beautiful work Mike! Your build log is like an alternative instruction manual to Chucks build log. JJ

Wow! Stunning work Chuck. I can’t plank my deck fast enough now. I think I’ll go for the extra credit on the jeer bits! Lol

Back on the wagon again with my Winnie, it’s been too long. Got all the coamings completed along with gratings. Everything is in place and I’m almost ready to start lining off for planks. I’m not too happy with my stove base, its finish turned out ok but it warped really bad when I glued it down, I think I’m going to have to remove it and start over again. Somehow I messed up with the forward subdecks and had to deviate outside of the etched lines increasingly as I worked forward, I used a tight line to constantly check my centerline when glueing parts down, I ended up being about 1-1.5mm off at the forward most part of the bow.

There are no 3-D models of the Olympic class available commercially. Titanic honor and glory probably owns/developed the most accurate version in existence but they are not going to just hand that over and probably wont even sell rights to it. Building a 3D model will require detailed 2D drawings of the ship and a powerful 3D program to produce it with many many hours of modeling. JJ

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
