After working on my Titanic model for a week and ten days (started Sunday August 2, 2009) it is finally finished. It was a lot of work, especially with putting on rigging and guidewires and such. I am very pleased with it.
Anyway, I'll get the pictures on here tomorrow when I've taken them tonight.

Now that's a surprise on this lonely boring day! ;D
Impatiently looking forward to images! :thumbs:

I got a new Titanic Model last week, the one that is most detailed, with ropes (as in string for the model), small chains, traclucent domes for the small staircases, exact railing and is exact to the Titanic with every thing included. This model is $99.99 for the model. The model is less than 4 feet long.

Hmm From what you have described I think you got rather Olympic than Titanic. I have the Titanic model & it looks a bit different from that.

Cool RMS are you going to sail it now that the rain finally stopped :thumbs: Its about time im here in Ottawa and it hasnt stopped :thumbdown:

No, There was no RMS Olympic model up at the store I got the model from, Nor Britannic, they did have another Titanic but very undetailed. I got the Very Detailed Titanic, instead of the U-Boat, Aircraft Carrier, or Aircrafts of WWII models.
-
Ok, then bring on the shots, Matt, so I'll believe you! ;D
-
I will when I finish the model. :thumbs: But I will edit this post when My model is finished

Hi Capt. Matt,
It's not that kind of model that can go on water, and I thought you were back in the Big Apple by now.

Can we see pics, RMSC?

I haven't taken them yet. I will tonight.

Is it accurate? Did you paint it correct colors? :)

When I got it, it was a partly pre-painted model, as in the funnels were the right colours, same with the A, B, and C decks, and the hull black. The only parts I have to paint was the red hull and the hatches white along with the forward and aft staircases.

RMS, don't make me wait any longer for the shots! :thumbs:

Yep, that's my favourite site there. ;)
-
Now, do you understand why it will take some time?
-
...NO...

I mean, the place where I often go to see some when I'm bored.
-
...NO...
I was talking to Wave Music.

Did you use the TRMA guide to compare this to? What about Peter Davies Garner's "Titanic: a model maker's guide"?

Shane, if the model is done - it's too late to talk about that. ;)
-
I don't think that was really ever in reach anyway. :P
-
Hi Lama, wazup? Typing from iTouch before the battery go out. :P
I'm 100% ready for RMS to show his Titanic! Got 8 sunglasses, bought 4 packs of Popcorn, cold beer, invited friends, etc. Sitting, waiting... Like we say:
"Waiting for the holiday - is the Best holiday!"

Hi Firestar,
No, I did not use "Titanic: a Model Maker's Guide". I used the pictures on the box for referance and a painting guide that came with the model along with the instruction manual.
To everybody, I will upload the pictures today, so please be paitent :)

Hmm That doesn't sound to me that the model went out accurate & realistic as possible. False hopes as usual. :-\
But we shall see it anyway! :2thumbs:

Are those the pics on your site now RMS?

I beg your pardon, but I worked really hard on the RMS Canada, even longer than my Titanic model. >:(

Yes they are, Jack.

I remember seeing that somewhere online actually. That model type. May I ask, was it a complete kit? What was supplied?
Just curious, being a bit of a Model Boat nut myself!

Complete kit? As in built already?
-
I mean as in, what pieces came with the kit? Like, Was it just main sections, or were all the rails and other bits seperate bits you had to buy yourself? Paint etc?
Jack.

Oh no, it came with all the parts. The only things it didn't include was the glue and paints.
-
Ahhh I see, very nice.
She looks very well! Any plans for future builds?
Jack :)

Well, I hope to get a model of the Queen Mary along with the QM2.

Good stuff. I've got a model of the Titanic myself, I got it for my 7th Birthday (Long time ago!), looking a little bit neglected now, but it was nothing special, looks nothing like Titanic in my opinion, but it kept me happy for several months after I got it! :lol:
Jack.
-
Now that I've finished my model, I have to get a shelf put up in my room to put it on.
-
Haha! Yeah, finding somewhere to put a model is a problem. I've got Hibernia sat on my dressing table just in front of my bedroom window. She looks really nice there. Except, I have to close the curtains when the sun comes round, so's not to make the paint fade. That wouldn't be good!
Good luck with it anyway! And congrats!
Jack ;D

The only place I could put my Titanic model would be on a shelf above my computer; the problem is that space is occupied by my USS Interpid model and the other stuff that I have on the same shelf like a printer for my computer, speakers, etc.

Nice...but....the funnels look far to orange compared to some White Star Buff footage I have seen, and even thought the light can distort a color, I don't think it was THAT orange.

The funnels came prepainted, along with some parts of the model.

I agree about the orange, but Very Nice Model!!! :thumbs:

I will be making a video of my Titanic model to upload onto Youtube this weekend.
-
Just tell me your not going to sink it! :P
-

Now why would I do that on a model that I worked so hard on?
-
I don't know, I have just seen too many videos of people online sinking their Titanic Models. ::)
-
I have a model of SS Great Eastern i should be finish with! :doh:
This one was nice! :)

I just hope they were able to recover their models afterwards.
