Titanic by wvdhee - FINISHED - HobbyBoss - 1/700 - PLASTIC

[wvdhee]

Started this before I joined, so no early pics.

It's new tooling from 2023, good fit, nice and crisp details.

Instructions aren't very good I believe, but maybe I am spoiled with Tamiya instruction quality.

 

Scale is too small for me ( at my age 😬 ) but I did somehow manage to do the pe parts

Welcome aboard. I see you have a building inspector supervising part of your build. Just hope it doesn't develop a taste for plastic.😄

Thanks, and yes, she's never far away and very curious 😄

Finished with it, not really happy with it tbh, I think mainly cause I couldn't find the right flat white colour. I used Humbrol 34 which was too thick for this scale and diluted it didn't cover.

But anyway, it floats 😉

 

On to a wooden ship now 😃 Vanguard Models for sure, dunno yet which one, Flirt probably... or Sphinx? 😬

Congratulations on finishing! If you have limited experience with wood, I'd recommend Flirt.

Thanks!

In shipbuilding I've done the "Half Moon" by Billing Boats a long time ago. Apart from that I have build a few violins from scratch.

Welcome aboard to MSW!  Congratulations on finishing your 1/700 Titanic.  I built a 1/700 USS Arizona several years ago and found the PE parts quite fiddly to work with.  I utterly failed with the PE railings so you're ahead of me on the PE.  Your violin experience should pay you dividends in building a wooden ship model.  The Vanguard Flirt would be a good choice.  There should be some wonderful Flirt models on the MSW site.

Hola, encontré este kit y me parece fascinante, pero tengo una duda, ¿ya viene marcada la línea de flotación en el plástico del casco? Y por cierto, tu Titanic quedó increíble.

Hello, I have seen this kit and I find it fascinating, but I have a question, is the waterline already marked on the plastic of the hull? And by the way, your Titanic looked incredible on you.

How did you go about painting the waterline? Did you use a reference?

There's a detailed drawing in the kit, I measured it from there.
