Keith B Posted July 20, 2013 #1 Posted July 20, 2013 Just bought this off a chap who had this up in his loft for the past 4 years.He admitted that model-making wasn't for him! It's the "Build the Titanic"magazine collection. Nearly complete collection,except for issues 93-100.I hope I can get hold of them over the coming months. Most of the planks are falling off or broken.Don't know what glue he used but it didn't work very well! Have stripped off the one side,and am just waiting for my order of new ones. Can't strip the other side off yet,as I have to make a template off it to drill the portholes,etc. Wish me luck!! Quote
Shipyard sid Posted July 20, 2013 #2 Posted July 20, 2013 Hello Keith Well I would like to wish you the best of luck with this project. There appears to be lots of back issues on eBay Regards DAVID Quote
Keith B Posted July 20, 2013 Author #3 Posted July 20, 2013 Hello David, The trouble is-the ones on e-bay aren't the ones I need! I'll keep looking though,as it will take me some time to get to when I need them. I've built plastic models of this ship before,but have always wanted to tackle this wooden version. Cheers, Keith.

Keith B Posted July 29, 2013 Author #4 Posted July 29, 2013 Done a bit more. Some planking,filling and decking. Quote

Keith B Posted August 1, 2013 Author #6 Posted August 1, 2013 That's one side with second planking on,also 1st row of windows.Note the liberal use of elastic bands,they come in really handy!! Quote
Keith B Posted August 13, 2013 Author #7 Posted August 13, 2013 All the holes drilled,only about 1,200 altogether! Quote
Keith B Posted August 13, 2013 Author #8 Posted August 13, 2013 Black coat on ,then started to fix the portholes. Quote
Keith B Posted August 13, 2013 Author #9 Posted August 13, 2013 Next deck and cabins added,and work started on 3rd deck cabins.Oh,and threw some more paint at it! It all seems to be going well,the parts are all very precise,and a good fit. GrandpaPhil 1 Quote
