This is such an amazing build.

That must have taken a while to download as well as print. Did you run some color tests before the final print out.:wink:

Found a gallery of these two completed card models from Shipyard. Workmanship is superb. http://modelshipworld.com/phpBB2/modules.php?set_albumName=album124&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php

Here at the Maritime Muesum of the Atlantic (in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) we have several recovered artifacts of the Titanic. Additionally, most of the victims from this disaster are buried here. http://museum.gov.ns.ca/mma/titanic/titanic.htm

I also suffer from this predicament. I like to collect the plans and drawings of all ship types, but my main interest is in historic sailing ships. Frequently with my first morning coffee on Saturday or Sunday morning, I will pull the drawings out and just go over them in detail. I can build the...

I added the right arm. I cut the profile in card, glued it on and then added putty on top of the card profile to get depth.

Just stuck it loosly on to see how it looks so far. Arms are next.

I needed to make the dress fuller at the bottom, so I cut small strips and started to glue them on. Also, the breasts had to be made. Two layers of card were applied. First was tear drop shaped and second was circle (was unable to get silicone to work at this scale :twisted: ). Then some...

To start with, I cut a piece of card to wrap around the stem which will give the shape of the dress and body. Then soaked it in CA glue so that it will keep its shape.

I also need to put a figure head on it. Not being able to readily find one, I decided to make this out of card as well. The figure head looks as per the attachments.

I am presently scratch building a wooden ship model for my brother. It is the "Elissa" of Galveston Texas. The ship is a steel/iron hulled vessel. I built the hull as a bread-and-butter type. I wanted it to have the look of the steel plating that exists on the real ship. To do this I cut...

Turned out well.

The lights look perfect.

It certainly has less parts than a Halinski kit. The model is on 12 pages, but the parts are well spaced. The download has a real nice set of step-by-step instructions to follow.

Yes, the model is a free one. You can find it here: http://www.papermodel.jp/english/free_kongo.html This is a site worth checking into a little later on, they have the IJN Aircraft Carrier AKAGI-The Pearl Harbor attack in 1:350 on the drawing board. The picture of it looks great. I want to...

....Still more pics.

I had started this model for the december competition but was unable to finish it in time. Its done now however, and so I thought I would just show it anyway.

Found a view showing sail plans for both the North Carolina (plan #0282) and the Pennsylvania (plan #0281) plus a below decks arrangement for both ships (plan #0278 ) from the following web site...

Thanks for all the nice remarks guys. The water is regular old wall plaster. Then painted accordingly and finally with several coats of acrylic gloss. That little model is great. Good fit to everything. I would like to do that one again (my buddy liked it so much that he claimed it...
