Does anyone have the vertical hull profiles for Titanic? I need them to make templates to correct the hull shape.
Take a look at this web-page - there is also a line drawing plan availableDoes anyone have the vertical hull profiles for Titanic? I need them to make templates to correct the hull shape.
I saw those. They are great but I'm looking for the vertical profiles.

These lines aren't the vertical profiles that align with the bulkheads. If you go on Youtube and look at the videos on Nigel's Modeling Bench, you'll see how he used the vertical profiles to correct a 1/200 Trumpeter Titanic hull. It makes it easier to do. These drawings above are good for a 3D model but not as easy to use to correct a kit's hull.yes, but you have them there, because you wrote
with this drawing

you have everything you need to check your hull profile

Ok - this is off course a special way...These lines aren't the vertical profiles that align with the bulkheads.

I asked Nigel and he used some profiles from the book Titanic The Ship Magnificent but it doesn't have all of them. Someone sent him the rest but he can't share them.Ok - this is off course a special way...
I found the videos
Maybe it is the easiest way to ask directly this modeler Nigel, which drawings he used for his adjustments

I know not all the drawings out there are accurate. I'll most likely get Titanic The Ship Magnificent.Ahoy!
@Michael - this is not such simple. There are many drawings of the Titanic's hull in the world. All drawings contain errors, because were not performed on the basis the shipyard documentation. The book "Titanic The Ship Magnificent" also includes body lines of the hull with an error.
Shipyard documentation is not available to everyone. This matter concerns almost all ships, vessels, tanks. cars, aircraft not only Titanic. High-ranking people decide about it. Not everything can be shared with other people. :-(.
I can say ....... that drawings in the book "Titanic The Ship Magnificent" are nearest truth.

I downloaded these plans. They are good but they don't have the vertical hull profiles.Not sure if this will help. Try this site : http://www.36ft-dream.com/
go to “OSP plans”. There is a hull plan there that may be of use to you.
I used the plans from here, the front view is rather lacking so I was only able to achieve the best accuracy on the stern. It got me this far. Above the waterline, the bow curves are actually all straight lines between decks, since the curves in Oskari's drawings don't match up with any given frame (datum) station and are therefore mostly useless. If anyone has any other ideas where to find better datum cross-sections of the bow, since http://www.titanic-cad-plans.com is shut down for sales (permanently, according to the website), I'd appreciate it.Not sure if this will help.

Another member had sent me this and I scaled it to 1/350 and had it printed. This is exactly what I needed and thanks for posting it.Is this what you’re looking for?
I am not sure, I believe it’s from the Hahn plans. It’s hard to read but the lines are there. If you can enlarge it to the required scale, you may be able to extrapolate the required coordinates by comparing what you already have to confirm the unknowns.
In incidentally, I do have a copy of Bruce Beveridge’s deck plans in 1:400 scale, which includes frame numbers and bulkhead locations in an overhead plan. However I doubt it could help if you’re interested in hull profile bulkhead to bulkhead.
I hope this can be of some help.
The idea is right, the image is really too small though, and enlarging it will only make the pixels blockier. I’d like to access that image at full original resolution for it to be useful. Oskari’s drawings are scalable PDF’s that made it possible to get as accurate to as little as 1/10 to 1/4 of an inch.Is this what you’re looking for?

By any chance could you send me it? I’m working on a similar projectAnother member had sent me this and I scaled it to 1/350 and had it printed. This is exactly what I needed and thanks for posting it.
The 36ft-dream plans by Oskari are better than Bob Read’s, although even Oskari’s has issues. I made a 3D hull using Oskari’s plans and it turned out great, once I sorted out what was wrong.This site is a great resource for Titanic. Go under Titanic Plans, pages 8 & 9. If you need anything else please let me know.
