Revell 1/570 RMS Titanic built as the wreck discovered in 1986

I have seen guys who model armor that is battle damaged thin plastic with dremmel or other similar tool to paper thin edge and then cut and carve damaged torn edge while keeping warm with hair drier. You want is soft, but not to much to melt edges.
 
I think fear has made me stop, I need to thin the hull sides and cut-in the damage. I guess I need to use the 'Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!' approach.

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 cm) for the bow section shown here, but the look will be the same

Reference material will come mostly from these books and online.

So far just mock-up of the break and some detail added to the forecastle.

I suggest that you buy plasticcard and experiment with that instead of using the kit.
I would also try hot air gun or just a hair dryer.
