RickyGene Posted August 20, 2019 Share #3 Posted August 20, 2019 Great project and you look to be off to a great start. What mfg. is this one. I have a 1/200 scale Moly. But it is just so huge at that scale, I have tucked away. Looking forward to more of your build. I too am a Kartonist.

philo426 Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share #15 Posted August 21, 2019 Yes this is not an accurate model more like a novelty kit.Sad to say that it is not an easy or quick build and I venture to say that the vast majority of the recepiants of it would not have the skill to build it.The thin glossy stock does not accept glue well.

Heinrich der Seefahrer Posted August 26, 2019 Share #19 Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Thats a good start, you did and for $40 it is a good kit. Are you going to build TITANIC a second time? It has a plenty of advantages to stay with cardboard. Look at Doris ROYAL KATHERINE: So the invest in a good plan will make the work very much easier - and you do not depend on the producers work he handeld over to you. Or a little ship with a plenty of research work? The hole shipbuilding is standing to your decission - from a littel Babylonic Euphrat trading boat, Agyptian fishing boat to an ship of the line in its metamorphic way through the years 1600-1950 or an modern rocket cruiser. The parallel effect with the merchant shipping and pure passengerships establishing till 1850. There are kits from.all over the world to find at ebay, wonderful plans and pictures in the museum. And that's the other end of shipbuilding: the criminalistic path to your ship by doing everything on your own. Do the rest at the big TITANIC kit - and then try a smaller one. A better kit. There are plentys of passenger ships sunk. The biggest lost of life has had Germany 1945 with WIHELM GUSTLOFF and about 7.000 killed refugies from East- and Westprussia. There is OREGON, ANDREA DORIA and ships we never again listen from after ship and passengers left the safety of the habor... What is your line of ships? Passengerships? Wellknown ships? Little beauties of the sea? Edited August 26, 2019 by Heinrich der Seefahrer Quote "Let's add every day 1/2 hour of modelship building to our projects' progress..." Take care!

That's a VERY complex kit - go with a few easier ones before trying something that difficult. I'd hate to see it abandoned part way into the build. Here's a LINK to the first card kit I built. It's a free download that you can print out, or there is the option to buy the printed version. I went with the freebie. They have a few other free ones on that site, there are many other sites that offer free card kits.
