Build The Titanic (Hachette Magazine)

[Rose]

This is still an on going project of mine but every time I try and crack on with it something always crops up

I will finish it one day I am sure although I have gone wrong in some places and not best pleased with it.

Rose,
How did you get here - nearly everyone seems to have gone - I had to re-rgeister to get back, using my original user name and password.

The forum screwed up & wiped out everybody's accounts, and wiped out every topic.

I bought two Hachette "build the Titanic" sets in early 2009. Began building one and for some reason I stopped on May 9th 2009. I really must get back to it some time soon. Ken.

They sell a little Build Your Own Titanic kit at the Titanic Museum in Branson, Missouri. And I like on that museum where it has the bridge with the helm (and I think I remember the throttle controllers )

It says to paint the name while but I prefer gold

Anyone who can build these models has my congratulations,for the patience and skills a skill that i do not have,I do have a model but will not try to put it together as i already tried to do it with a model before and did not make very good job with bits left over and other bits that did not fit.

Hello Iwan. That looks great. Maybe seeing yours will kick start me into getting on with mine. I am almost at the stage yours was in your first picture. I see you have not used those little brass rivet thingys for the windows. I to decided to leave them off mine as they looked wrong. Ken.

I painstakingly put them on mine.

Hello Rose. I do think the Titanic model looks more realistic without the rivets but what made me not use them was I knew that if I did not drill the port hole windows in exactly straight lines then the rivets would make it look even worse. Ken.

Yes Ken I know what you mean.

That's really a terrific job you have done in constructing your model; I am envious of the detail. Keep us posted on your progress!

Cheers!
