Billings boats 1/144 RMS Titanic

[peterairfix]

Where do I start first of all it's big very very big.
It's 188cm long or 6 feet 2 inches in old money.
I won't be building anything yet as it will take me a few months to get everything sorted
Right on with the contents.
What I was confronted with on opening the box
Next 2 instruction books
2 full sized plans one pictured
Funnels and as they are round there is a little jig to shape them.
Plus life boats.

Two packs of brass fittings and the two outer props
The phone etch and lots of it


That's it for this part I will do a part 2 for the wood parts

[peterairfix]

PART 2
All the wood parts
Two lots of planking
Now for the rest of the wood.
And finally more brass tubes.

It will be a very interesting build to follow. Certainly a lot of work. Not a quick weekend build that's for sure.

That should keep you out of mischief for a while :smiling:

[adt70hk]

WOW!!

[peterairfix]

WOW!!

That's what I thought when I opened the box

[Neil Merryweather]

That should keep you out of mischief for a while :smiling:

Oh maybe even a couple of weeks knowing Peter's work rate!

[Ian M]

Well that looks a whole lot of fun. Should last you a couple of days.... The big question: Are you going to put R/C in her and sail her?

[peterairfix]

Oh maybe even a couple of weeks knowing Peter's work rate!

It's going to take me a couple of months just now acquire all of the paints and extras just for a start

[peterairfix]

Well that looks a whole lot of fun. Should last you a couple of days.... The big question: Are you going to put R/C in her and sail her?

I shall take a year or two to finish and as for radio control out of my league I am afraid even if I could I have nowhere to sail her and I couldn't even get her in the back of the car

I would get a sinking feeling just looking at all that PE! Watching attentively!
