After finishing my 1:200 Titanic (see here
Titanic, from very small to very large..)
I decided to try and make a diorama out of it using some tugs. So the last couple of days I have been busy designing me some 1:200 tugs using old photographs of the tug Husskisson and pictures of the Vulcan as depicted in James Cameron´s ¨Titanic¨
This is what I have come up with as a design;
Then I had it printed on an professional printer (they had put the three files on one sheet.. if this is possible it gives some more possibility upscaling the small Olympic class ships as well..
);
Then I started building them today, they will be about 14 cm´s long.
As you can see, I am planning on building three of the tugs to be included in the diorama;
You can see a pen to the left to show it´s length.
While designing the model I used the an existing model to base the hull shape upon as an starting point, the rest is designed by me.
Now I hope this will work out nicely..
