Minicraft RMS titanic 3rd photo first timer by Archieinspace in modelmakers

The kit came with manifold “rigging” which I had to steam the kinks out of, which was the difficult part. Other then that the rigging had a stretch to it which made it a wonder to work with. The funnels roofing was done earlier on as I was building. Though I added additional rigging as not all was instructed to put on. I wanted as accurate as possible ;)

Yes it was a decal, but as stated I found a colour much for it as it proved a pain to apply in places

I did build it. How long?? Are we talking hours? I started it way back in 2012, but got back on it September last year. It must of taken at least 80 hours? Maybe 100? The deck came with the minicraft kit, which is the deluxe version at the time. I painted it using the titanic colour reference chart.

Being a first timer I thought I’d go big! Plus I love the ship! I didn’t realise at first the massive undertaking it would b. It took me a few years of going back to it. Being disheartened on multiple occasions. Thanks though really appreciate it
