wvdhee Posted January 19 #1 Posted January 19 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 yvesvidal, madtatt, ccoyle and 3 others 6 Quote Walter.

Canute Posted January 19 #2 Posted January 19 Welcome aboard. I see you have a building inspector supervising part of your build. Just hope it doesn't develop a taste for plastic.😄 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild

wvdhee Posted January 27 Author #4 Posted January 27 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? 😬 clearway, Canute, ccoyle and 2 others 5 Quote Walter.

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. Canute 1 Quote Walter.

Wawona59 Posted January 27 #7 Posted January 27 (edited) 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.

Y por cierto, tu Titanic quedó increíble. Nuestro foro requiere que las publicaciones se realicen en inglés. Puede utilizar un traductor de Internet si es necesario. ¡Gracias!

Gambito28 Posted July 10 #9 Posted July 10 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. wvdhee and Canute 2 Quote
