First build Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (11320)

I finished gluing down the wood decking to the promenade deck. The aft section took a lot more fitting and cutting than I would have liked. The kit deck is warped pretty badly, I'm hoping it stays adhered until I can attach it to the ship. I plan to do that tomorrow sometime.View attachment 137137View attachment 137138View attachment 137139

Hey Chris, awesome job and using your pictures as I build my 1/350 Mini Craft. I am using Gorilla Wood Glue for the wooden decks, but after a month, the edges peel up and I have to redo them with CA glue. What GLUE did you use. . . . Started this 2nd Titanic Mini Craft Aug 2024. I am 69 and retired and now have time to really do this right.... thanks! Art

Hi Art, I'm sorry to say Chris passed away in July 2023. I made a post in August 2023. He was a good friend and great model builder.

Hi Art, Thank you. My friend Craig is sending me 3 of Chris' model ships that he built soon. When I get them I'll post pictures. He has them down at his house in South Carolina. I'm up in New York.

Thanks, Michael.

Hi Art, What you said about you feeling like you knew Chris makes sense. Chris was the kind of guy that when you first met him you felt like you knew him for years. I'm in Howard Beach right next to Brooklyn.

Michael.
