Hi Peter
That is quite a model. I assume it is a wooden kit. A lot of work but will be impressive when built.

I assume it is a wooden

Yes it's almost the same as the part work one but with a lot difference between build and parts.

WELL how big is it length an beam ?
chris

Length will be 107cm beam is not given so I will have to measure my older kit to find out.

[peterairfix]

I just have opened the box and there are buckets of parts wood eight sets of plans one colour book and a full size 1-1 plan.
The first thing to do is I definitely the first five bulkhead's and the bow keel section it shouldn't be hard as there are only two keel sections as apposed to six on the part work one and the next thing done is to angle the first five bulkhead's.

Building has commenced this is the easiest part of the build witch consists of the two keel sections and the 22 bulkheads witch form the basic structure and the two well decks and two strengthening running parallel to the keel

Just finished off the first part of planking on the bow and stern well decks

[peterairfix]

Just finished off planking the next four deck pieces ready for the next construction phase.

[peterairfix]

A few more parts added today they are the spare anchor well the first of the wall on the forward well deck and the last of the parts on the fan tail that support the stern deck.

Peter,
Nice work mate, you certainly like your Titanic's

[peterairfix]

The first two decks have been attached along with the first two pieces of planking.

I soooooo wanted this kit (with the rc pack) I could just never convince the missus. You lucky son of a gun.
I will be glued to this build.

Time for an update I have added two more decks at the stern plus the formers for the walls I haven't put any decoration on as I am waiting for my PE walls and also I have shaped the stern fantail to the correct shape and attached the sternpost.
