Tsm209 Posted November 5, 2023 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2023 Hello, I have been working on a scratch-built 1/100 Titanic for quite some time now and I have decided to share it on here. I am actively working on the ship to get the hull frames filled in and to start the hull plating. Here is the keel of the ship cut out into 2 pieces. Forward and aft parts of the ship with the frames glued. Aft section of the ship, partially filled. Here is the ship with both pieces together to create a massive hull. Slowly but surely, getting the frames filled. NavyShooter, Valeriy V, yvesvidal and 7 others 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGibson Posted November 5, 2023 Share #2 Posted November 5, 2023 It's going to be HUGE! Will watch with great interest.

Tsm209 Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted November 7, 2023 I’ve started to fill the hull in with filler. NavyShooter, GrandpaPhil, scrubbyj427 and 8 others 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyShooter Posted November 7, 2023 Share #4 Posted November 7, 2023 It sure is massive in this scale, isn't it? I'm working on one for stand-off scale presentation for the Maritime Ship Modellers Guild here in Halifax NS. Maybe I should start a thread as well.

Tsm209 Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share #5 Posted November 8, 2023 Yes it is quite big, almost 9 feet. Canute and NavyShooter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsm209 Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share #6 Posted November 17, 2023 The bow has been filled, although some slight gaps to be still filled so that it is completely smooth. Now remains the tricky shape of the stern. Valeriy V, GrandpaPhil, KeithAug and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie da fly Posted November 17, 2023 Share #7 Posted November 17, 2023 This site - https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=the olympic %2C titanic and britannic fan site - contains some Titanic pics I hadn't seen before. Regarding the shape of the stern, the one below is, I think, particularly instructive. Steven scrubbyj427, Canute, Tsm209 and 1 other 4 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Tsm209 Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share #9 Posted November 18, 2023 The photos do help when tackling these tricky shapes. I'll have to make it up as I go along, following the frames to give me a guide of the shape. Louie da fly, Canute and NavyShooter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsm209 Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share #10 Posted November 26, 2023 Finally finished up the stern. It‘s very rough, but I think that some filler will do the job and smooth it out. KeithAug, GrandpaPhil, yvesvidal and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie da fly Posted November 27, 2023 Share #11 Posted November 27, 2023 Yes, a very difficult shape. Good luck with getting it nice and smooth.

Tsm209 Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share #12 Posted November 27, 2023 The filler and smoothing process is going nicely. When it's done I'll probably post some more pics here. I still need to make the outboard propeller wings and then I can start marking out the hull for the hull plating. That should be fun.

Tsm209 Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share #13 Posted December 26, 2023 Finished up the hull. It's now ready for the hull plating stage of the build. I hope to mark the plates out on the hull in the upcoming month. clearway, scrubbyj427, GrandpaPhil and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie da fly Posted December 27, 2023 Share #14 Posted December 27, 2023 Nice work. I'm following with interest. I finished my solid hull model of the same ship, but was not terribly satisfied with it - particularly whether I'd got the details right. So I'll be very interested to see what you do with yours (no pressure, of course!) Steven Tsm209, mikegr and Canute 3 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Tsm209 Posted December 28, 2023 Author Share #15 Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) I’ll post as much progress pics/details of the hull as I can. The bottom plating is relatively simple, from about midway on the ship to the double riveted plate strakes is where all the detailing comes on the hull.

Looks good, must have been a lot of filler and "endless" sanding, but you`ve made it....
