Hello. This is my first project since returning to the hobby, and I needed something to tune up my skills on. I found Currell's 1918 Dazzle pattern of the HMT Olympic as she was as a troop ship in WWI. I prefer a warship as opposed to straight civilian pattern.
The build took approximately a little over a month to complete, as of tonight.
So I hope you like what I have done so far.

Interesting piece of history. The Olympic was the only merchantman in the 1st world war to sink a German U-boat.
I'm always open for comments or questions.

You did an OUTSTANDING JOB on this project.
I like the fact that you made this into more of a diorama display.
Thank you for sharing this with us as well as the interesting piece of history of this ship.

Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!
 
Very nice build. The original model is designed by Currell but the dazzle paint scheme was created by my good friend Jerry V. He did a great job of that, and you did a great job of the model. :thumb:
 
I think it is such an impressive ship and to have built her her war colors just really makes this a superb and special model. Well done indeed! :)
