drobinson02199 Posted January 10, 2019 Author #154 Posted January 10, 2019 Thanks to Chris, Steve and Lou. And Chris, if you worked as fast as me, your models wouldn't look at beautiful as they do. I am selective in my picture taking to not expose my more awful "goofs". Regards, David vossy and popeye the sailor 2 Quote David Robinson Boston, MA area Completed: Constructo J.S.

hof00 Posted January 11, 2019 #156 Posted January 11, 2019 Complete? I guess so, otherwise it wouldn't be in the "Gallery." Awesome build Sir, and I echo Denis, damn fast from "Whoa to Go!!" (I'm hoping to "Plagiarize" your Sanson build, at least take some initiatives.... 🙂) (I think, your Sanson is the only one on this site.)) Enjoy your Holiday!! Cheers and Regards, Harry.

Sanders Posted October 7, 2019 #159 Posted October 7, 2019 Just read through your build log.. great job it looks cracking. I've always liked the titanic and hopefully going to get this model in next couple of months popeye the sailor and drobinson02199 2 Quote
Mike Dowling Posted November 21, 2019 #160 Posted November 21, 2019 Just to add a postscript to this log, (hope you don't mind David) I have just finished the same model and with effort she certainly builds into a very handsome beast. I won't post any pictures of mine as they will just look the same. I did try to light mine with varying success as some lights are too bright and some too dim. The portholes are so tiny that the lighting effect doesn't really show. Anyway, many thanks to you David as your log has been invaluable. This model is definitely not for the novice as you have to refer to written instructions, a photo album and eight sets of plans all at the same time. Planning ahead is essential and you really do have to work out what order to do things in on your own. Having said that it is a very good package albeit rather pricey and do be careful, there is no extra anything with this kit which makes mistakes very costly. A really good challenge for all you master builders out there!! drobinson02199 and popeye the sailor 2 Quote Current build : Gorch Fock Occre Completed non-boat build 1/16 Model expo Sopwith Camel - in shore leave.

drobinson02199 Posted November 21, 2019 Author #162 Posted November 21, 2019 Mike: I'm glad the log was helpful to you. I really enjoyed this kit -- and in fact have enjoyed everything I've built from Amati. The quality is really first class in their kits. On the Titanic box, it says "museum quality", and if you don't mess it up, that's what you get. I have seen some members refer to the group of those who have built a Swan class ship (either Pegasus or Fly). Maybe we can be the start of the group that has built the Titanic.

Mike Dowling Posted November 24, 2019 #163 Posted November 24, 2019 It's a bit late for me to do a log now David as I have finished the ship but I like the idea. I agree generally about Amati kits, I have made Revenge as well but they are mean with their wood and all the bits and pieces, deadeyes, rivets, o pins and the like so you either need a nice stash of bits or beware of making mistakes or losing any!! drobinson02199 and popeye the sailor 2 Quote Current build : Gorch Fock Occre Completed non-boat build 1/16 Model expo Sopwith Camel - in shore leave.

drobinson02199 Posted November 24, 2019 Author #164 Posted November 24, 2019 Mike: Your experience with Amati on parts is different from mine -- on all my Amati kits I have had a lot of leftovers in terms of wood, blocks, rope, etc. Now my Mantua Cutty Sark is a different story -- I have had to dip into my "stash" lots of times.

Wickedskinny Posted July 23, 2020 #165 Posted July 23, 2020 Hi David I'm thinking of buying this again, I had it few yrs back but then had 3 kids and had no time for it. Would love to build it again but my question is could it be built by putting in wee small lights, so it could light up at night, and where is best place to purchase complete pack Many thanks Keith popeye the sailor 1 Quote
Flavia Posted December 10, 2020 #166 Posted December 10, 2020 Good job! What kind of stain did you use for the deck? I’m starting it and hope I discovered early that we need to read the building steps with the photo album and tables together. popeye the sailor 1 Quote
drobinson02199 Posted December 10, 2020 Author #167 Posted December 10, 2020 Flavia: I left the deck natural and just used clear satin polyurethane varnish. It's a great kit. Enjoy it!
