discussion Del's Titanic build. Academy limited edition

[Del640]

Ok, paints came today (Vallejo Air). (Not ordered from SMS, wifey ordered them from somewhere...I've put her straight on that )
I've ordered a new Gorilla gel as I've found this very good on PE (moves a bit before setting so you can position easier).

I'm finishing a Spitfire at present which should be done by the weekend, then it's "Iceberg! Dead ahead!" time :thumb2: :tears-of-joy:

Ok, mods if you could move this to 'ships under construction' that would be great.

I'm confident here now to be guided so to speak!

I anticipate starting my RMS Titanic by Academy (1/400) this week.

So.. .on we (and I mean 'we'!!) Go!

As requested, Del, I have now moved this to the build section. Looks like a good kit with plenty of detail.
I tool the liberty of removing all the double posted photos. Sometimes that pesky upload button can be a bit finicky lol.
Always like a ship build so I will be following along for the ride.

It's a great cover, wipe down and very robust.

...and we're off!

Hi Del
They say the greatest journey starts with the first step.

..that didn't take long for a confusing bit! :

Instructions require me to remove these parts (and quite a few large areas of the deck)
Problem is they're clearly stairs?
The larger parts will require a proper cutter due to the amount and thickness so I've ordered a Dremel that I'll receive tonight.

So ...these stairs.

 

[Del640]

....in the meantime I've built the iceberg.

(Well, when I say built I meant froze)

 

[Mr Bowcat]

I'm following your build Del, I quite fancy building this kit at some point.

Are they to be removed and replaced with PE equivalents?

If so, I don’t envy you having to make the treads!
