discussion Hello All

[jamsiemac]

Just to say hi and share some stuff I have done and I am working on. My passion is for ships and ocean liners.

Attached are a 1:200 carpathia, Lucy 1:250, great western and nomadic which I am working on.

Also there is the big piece, titanics boilers, propellors and whistle. I like doing large specific parts of ships too.

Glad to be here and will post more as time goes by.

Welcome James

There are a few fellow ship builders here so you will be in good company.

I’m not a ship builder, love seeing others work but they are a bit too intricate for me.

Geoff.

Whereabouts in the UK are you?

Cheer Geoff,

They are pretty heavy going alright with the detail but I love doing ocean liners and anything to do with the sea. I am feeling around on forums for a good community and this seems to be the best so far.

I will be posting more alright to share my work and ideas while obviously looking for ideas too.

Hey Paul,

I am across the pond from you in Ireland near Cobh, I spend quite a bit of time there as well for obvious reasons....lol. I do a bit of photo work on the side too.

Yes they are, I am very handy with a 3d printer. I got very frustrated with kits not being available so bought a 3d printer to do whatever I wanted instead. It has been very liberating I can tell you. I also wanted large scale models too so I could put plenty of detail.

I've been there(Cobh) couple of times , on round UK cruises, was there last June on a Princess cruise ship, birthed in that same spot I think.

Yes, I was not down then but that ship is coming back in next month again, docked outside the heritage centre which is the old train station. They put on a good show with ladies dressed in edwardian attire and play the brass band as you depart. I also like going into the cliffs for the UK cruises because they sail right by on their return to southampton. I got some great moments over the years like the qe2 last visit in 2008 and the qm2 first visit in 2009. Pretty rare stock these days.
