Titanic by Ronjja76 - Amati - Scale 1:250

[Ronjja76]

I started building this ship of dreams and hope about 2-3 years ago. I ran into to early problems with the build and therefore tucked it away. Now I have decided to give it another try, since I am fascinated by this ship and its story like so many others.

 

I'll post some pictures of the build until today and will try to update the log as I go. Tips and advice are welcome!

And this evening I've been shaping the two front filler blocks at the bow section.

I'm finally done with the filler blocks! I think it's best not to put a filler block at the second (or third) last gap, since I need to add the stern/rudder there, so a filler block might interfere with that.

I too love this ship and always strive to find out something new about her. You are doing a neat job! What are the exterior walls lined with? Is that paper with the windows and doors printed on it? Your filler blocks look nice and snugg. Good work!

wow at 1/250 this must be a fairly big model- looking forward to seeing her progress

It is paper with prints but you attach some photo-edged brass details on some doors etc to get a 3D-effect, I guess.

The model is about 100 cm long ;-)
