titanic

This is a log of my progress with the Trumpeter Titanic. I know that there are many of these and I appreciate your patience with my contribution. My hope is to share the things I’m learning about the kit along the way, including my experiences with the third-party detail kits. Every project...

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 And don't expect it to be a...

Hi, everybody. I got the complete kit to build the Titanic. It was built up to part 21. I've noticed that the rudder support and rudder are missing. I've looked on eBay but the issues are not available. Is it possible to get scale plans of these parts so I can make my own? Regards Graham

Michelle here, reporting in on the beginning of our build. Brian and I opened our kit and add-ons yesterday, a Christmas gift from my parents. We worked on and completed drilling out portholes. Photo shows the hull lit by our headlamps. We used drill sizes 1/16, 5/64 & 7/64, chosen to...

Hola a todos. Saludos desde México. Les comparto el modelo ya terminado del Titanic Trumpeter. Juzguen ustedes el resultado. Considero que me quedó muy bien. Hi all. Greetings from Mexico. I share with you the finished model of the Titanic Trumpeter. You judge the result. I think it fit me...

My family all pitched in and got me this kit for Christmas, as the AUD$750.00 price tag was hard for me to justify, having not long ago retired from full time work. I'd been working on the Trumpeter 1/200 USS Arizona for the first couple of months of this year, but have decided to put that on...

I plan on following a youtube tutorial on modeling the wreck of RMS Titanic. I will use the 1/570 Revell model as it is an old molding and has fitting issues, which is perfect for the amount of destruction that will be modeled. The wreck model will be small, 10 inches (25 cm) by 2 inches (5...

This is my first ship build in many years. Usually its Aircraft and armor. But after visiting the cemetery where victims were interred in Halifax, Nova Scotia, I became intrigued with Titanic's history. I’ve been working on this Titanic in my spare time, which does not amount to much, for...

I will change the title thread I you can guess the ship by the only clue I will give and it should be easy if you know your ships

The first thing I noticed when opening the box was the "heavy handed" plate detail on the hull. Someone please talk me out of trying to "fix" that. The builds I have reviewed on this look great as far as I can tell from the photos. Wondering if anyone has tried to make the plating look...

Have finished painting the hull apart from small details i.e the yellow line between the hull and superstructure of my 1/200 Titanic. Now working on painting all of the superstructure. Played around with lighting the inside of the hull to see the effect. Next big job is to pre cut acrylic rods...

I recently purchased the 1:200 scale Trumpeter Titanic, the Detail Kit, and multiple 3D printed pieces. My first steps included drilling out portholes throughout the ship in multiple sizes with a pin vice. I then applied light blocking in the hull along with a flat white to evenly bounce the...

I couldn't wait to get this one going as unlike the gpm kits it comes with everything you just need glue and knifes. Here's what I got.And a selection of the color pages.And the plans are easier to follow and are more self explanatory.And the pile of card witch saves having to go buy more.

Just got this beast of a kit last week... decided to start on the hull regardless of waiting for the the detail set.

Not an unboxing. Just a look at some of the kit.

I just have opened the box and there are buckets of parts wood eight sets of plans one colour book and a full size 1-1 plan. The first thing to do is I definitely the first five bulkhead's and the bow keel section it shouldn't be hard as there are only two keel sections as apposed to six on the...

I couldn't wait to get started. It's a nice kit with buckets of parts I would photograph them but as there are so many I would be there all day. I have popped in a pic of one of the spures to give an idea of what I am going to tackle. The first job has been to get some paint on the hull and...

As I have plenty on the go I plumped for this one too share. This is not quite the full build as I had a completed ship that needed a new hull building so this build includes the hull build and transfer and refurbishment of existing parts. The first five pics show the building of the new hull...

Since the level of detail a person may add and the availability and amount of research a person may chose to perform will vary with each modeler, the times I show are related to the actual work performed on the vessel. Each person’s ability to read and interpret plans can vary a great detail...
