We'll be launching the Titanic again on Thursday at 1 PM at the Halifax Public Gardens!

 

I've redone some of the interior fiberglassing and put a fresh layer of epoxy resin on the entire outside.

 

Additionally, I decided to add some 'puck' lights - so the upper decks will get lit up in the evenings.  

 

Pictures will follow!

Titanic's test float was last night - ballast adjusted, and I think she's good. 

 

Here's some pics, and the new HMCS Sackville model as well.


Both are being launched again tomorrow at the Halifax Public Gardens at 1 PM.

Titanic and the new Sackville model have been launched into the Halifax Public Gardens for the season!

I forgot to factor in the weight of the anchor chain on Sackville when I ballasted her, so she's showing as down by the bow just a bit.  Oops.

 

In the photo with two people holding the Sackville - I'm on the left, and Mr. Woodburn is on the right - he's the Chair of the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust.  

 

The Titanic Society of Atlantic Canada have a function this weekend, so the launch was well attended by them!

And, now that my ship-yard has 13+ feet of ships cleared out of it, I'm going to be able to start thinking about my own models again!!!
