I have decided to ditch the troopship idea as it's just not working so from now on its just the standard Titanic build.
And here's the state of play after giving it a new paint job.[ATTACH]317463[/ATTACH][ATTACH]317464[/ATTACH][ATTACH]317465[/ATTACH][ATTACH]317466[/ATTACH][ATTACH]317467[/ATTACH][ATTACH]317468[/ATTACH][ATTACH]317469[/ATTACH]

Peter,
Cracking work Sir.

That looks fantastic! The dazzle idea was good but I think I prefer the standard finish.
excellent job on the hull planking too.

And talking of my build here's a small update I have decided on building some a new parts and the first of the new parts will be the first and second class gratings that cover the domes using the magazine supplied template and a new hatch cover for the forward deck still work to do on them but here's what they look like so far.[ATTACH]320199[/ATTACH]

I have now finished the gratings and ready to install them in their respective places but have to remove the old second class grating.[ATTACH]320290[/ATTACH][ATTACH]320291[/ATTACH][ATTACH]320292[/ATTACH][ATTACH]320293[/ATTACH][ATTACH]320294[/ATTACH]

Done a bit more this time it's transferring the bridge structures over and the ships wheel and compass along with the telegraphs.
And also I have replaced the dome gratings with plastic to give a neater appearance.
And I have refitted the bow anchor.[ATTACH]322232[/ATTACH][ATTACH]322233[/ATTACH][ATTACH]322234[/ATTACH][ATTACH]322235[/ATTACH]

While waiting for my spitfire to dry I picked up the two ships and started transfering some parts over from the doner ship it's mainly railings and vents four cranes from bow and parts on the fore deck.

Time to change scales I am back on my bigger Titanic I have almost finished the bow just a few bits to do and I have the first mast on and the first two funnels fitted.
