1/250 Rms Titanic

[peterairfix]

Yes it's another titanic but this time I am working without proper instructions so I will using all my knowledge from previous builds and some of the plans I have lying around the basic kit is the old hachette part work hence the inaccuracies.
But here's the work so far the basic structure has been finished and I am starting on the well deck walls

[peterairfix]

Next up is concentrating on the stern adding more walls before adding the first layer of decking and then I can start on the first layer of planking

[peterairfix]

Slight change of plans as I have now finished the planking and started on the second layer which will have the portholes in.
But as I have now found 100 magazines from a certain online auction site but it came with a complete finished Hull and I must say a lot better than I could ever do so do I carry on or use the new Hull as I have enough parts to do both but if I can get Olympic name plates done that's what I will be doing.

[Steve Jones]

Wow! Totally missed this one Peter. You certainly have a real challenge ahead of you. Coming along really well. Most impressed

[peterairfix]

Not much time to post anything at the moment but here's an update I have finished the planking and the second layer I have got color on and started on promonade deck walls.
I have been toying with the idea of lighting up the lower Hull.

[Tim Marlow]

Lots of work in that Peter, and it shows. She’s coming together very nicely..

[Tim Marlow]

Just had a thought, have you heard of Violet Jessup? Interesting story if you haven’t.

have you heard of Violet Jessup?

Yes I believe she was on the Olympic when it hit hms hawke and survived titanic and britannic sinkings

[Tim Marlow]

That’s the one, it all happened in about three years. She spent the next thirty years continuing as a steward on liners. I don’t know about you Peter, but I think I would have found a land job These days she could probably make a fortune by making White Star pay her to stay off its liners....

[peterairfix]

More work done this time around I have all walls on promonade deck finished and decorations in place.
I have the last four deck pieces fitted that now forms the boat deck and I have started on the boat deck buildings.

[peterairfix]

Today I am starting on the wheel House and I will be replacing the wood and card original kit one with PE replacement and also I have enough spares that I can have a compass and wheel inside as well.

[peterairfix]

As this is going to Rms Olympic it a slightly easier build as it eliminates the front third covered promenade deck but here's how it looks like now

[spanner570]

Very nice work Peter.

She's looking good.

[peterairfix]

Just had a dive into all my metal parts and pulled out all that needs to be painted black.
