RMS Titanic - Trumpeter 1/200

[Winnie]

I've seen all the videos, but unfortunately I hosed the parts up... I'll re-attempt though. Still working on the inner decks, easy primer into the PE work needed later.

Lovely work by yourself too Big Jake! You should start the 1/200 kit!

I've worked on A deck structures, and putting in windows, there were 44 of one size... that's a lot of fiddling, but still lits of fidling left to accomplish!

I'll add photos later!

Need more medium CA...

Anyway, the white glue (using Mod Podge gloss), works a charm so far. Easier clean up, and does wonders in sticking small pieces of PE to plastic.

A deck structures:



One door missing, the handrails are a bitch to get/keep straight... Thankfully this will be behind a bullwark on A deck, 1 deck below the boat deck.



Some of these windows have the "stained glass" from the KA set... Micro cutting with very fine scissors on slippery plastic... NOT easy, but whatever! Looks really cool











The most time consuming part of any, is cutting the PE from the fret, cutting the nubs, then filing the nubs... There are 44 of the smallest windows on the longest structure shown... So there are TONS of windows. But, I think this is an excellent primer to more advanced warships, because even though there is a dearth of PE parts, most are easy subassemblies requiring a single fold, if any. Or a gentle curve. So there are thousands of parts, but they're relatively easy to affix!

I'll probably eat those words later.



Cheers
