Sergio Camacho Posted March 17, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 17, 2020 Hi to all from Tijuana MX. My name is Sergio and I just started this wonderful hobby a couple of months ago. So far, my first build was a Titanic 1/700 Academy model, finished it in a week and I was hooked. I got my second model, another Titanic scale 1/400 from Academy but the premium edition and I'm amazed of all the detail that comes with. I will post pictures shortly of the advance of my build. Good night to all. mtaylor, EricWilliamMarshall, ccoyle and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Seiler Posted March 24, 2020 Share #9 Posted March 24, 2020 Sergio, Welcome! I would invite you to come to the San Diego Ship Modelers Guild meetings, but the Maritime Museum (where it is held) is closed for the duration of COVID and I suspect border crossings are clogged with reduced lanes. Stay tuned.

Louie da fly Posted March 25, 2020 Share #12 Posted March 25, 2020 I hope you do start a build log and I look forward to seeing the progress on your Titanic. I'd expect a 1:400 model to have a lot more detail than the 1:700 - It would be interesting to see how much extra. Steven mtaylor 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Sergio Camacho Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share #13 Posted March 25, 2020 Hi Steven. Yes I intend to, I just haven't been working on it lately, but soon. And yes, the detail is Way more than the 1/700 just with the photo etch alone. (Here are the pics from the 1/700 model) Sergio Louie da fly, Ryland Craze, EricWilliamMarshall and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie da fly Posted March 26, 2020 Share #14 Posted March 26, 2020 Thanks for the photos. Looking forward to seeing your build log. When I was in Southampton UK about 11 years ago they had the whole upper floor of the Maritime museum there devoted to a Titanic display - it was the port she left from on her fatal voyage. I don't know if they'd still have the display, but the museum might be a useful source of information for your model, and perhaps could refer you to others. Just out of interest, is there anything in particular that drew you to make two models of the Titanic? Steven mtaylor 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Sergio Camacho Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share #15 Posted March 26, 2020 Hi Steven I've never worked on a scale model before, Always wanted to, but never tried. So one day I was browsing in Hobby Lobby and saw the 1/700 scale and I thought to myself, why not give it a try. So I started working on it and I loved it (the hobby I mean). So by the time I was done I wanted a better looking Titanic to display at my house and I thought that the 700 scale was small and the TITANIC deserved nore. So, that is why I bought the second one with a LOT more detail and LED lighting, I will make a case for it at the home, eventually I will upload photos of it. Once I'm done with it, I have my eye on the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean, she's a beauty.
