Titanic - Billing Boats 1/144

Peterairfix · Jul 10, 2023

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 quick build.
The first batch of parts

And now for the wood.

Good luck to you Peter. This should result in an amazing model. Likely take you longer than it did to build the real thing.

Look forward to seeing your progress.

This is a "big" challenge ...... a really big Titanic - wish you luck and a lot of fun with this project
and we will follow your work, sitting in a chair in the first row and drinking a beer (or coffee)

BMT · Jul 10, 2023

Quite the project! Look forward to the blog and the build.

Wolle · Jul 10, 2023

Wow, I'm there too. I'm happy for you and I look forward to the first pictures and progress.

I'm on board, been toying with idea of tackling this beast. So will watch along with great interest.

6FT long???? I don't have the room to build let alone to display. More power to you!

fourseas · Jul 15, 2023

That is an amazing kit. I too will be watching your progress with great interest. Good Luck.

Funny story...I was reading the early posts and I swear it said the finished model was going to be six feet long. The brain does strange things... ROTF

This isn't my area of interest but I'm pulling up a chair - can't wait to see this unfold Peter!

Wow a six footer, should be a huge project! I look forward to following your build! Magic Mike

Danno71 · Jul 15, 2023

Wow! A hardy good luck and all the best on your build. Everyone sit tight, I'll get the popcorn!

shota70 · Jul 15, 2023

Before I start the main build I am having a go at planking the fore deck as I have found some suitable planks that fit and it's only 80 planks wide.

Wolle · Jul 15, 2023

A start has been made. That already looks very good.

calt4 · Jul 15, 2023

I been looking on building this ship next year. look forward to watching your build

Impressive model. It must be the largest Titanic kit that exists.
I come home with this, my wife won't let me in.
Good luck with the assembly, I will follow it with interest.

Greetings

I believe the secret to this kit would be to not let the wife know how big its going to be until after the frame is built, and then it will be to late to turn back or throw you out. All you will have to do is beg for space in the house to display it.
