RMS Titanic - Fly/Gomix - 1:200 full hull

I have the same model but am hesitant on building it, cause I don't want to screw it up.

Build it, it's actually not that difficult to build.

Yeah, it's an enjoyable building experience. The most difficult part was getting the stern in the right shape, but the fit of parts was still excellent.

Make a cheap black and white copy so you can test before you tackle the original model. This system has worked excellently for me and you don't ruin the original model.

I am using the lasercut frames. I'm experiencing a little difficulty with warping, because this is a very long build (140 cm) in a hot humid climate. Drying parts under pressure in an airconditioned room overnight seems to do the trick though.

Marco, I am an old (and long time) modeler, who has been out of the hobby for a while. But, thanks to Covid-19, I've had to give up my social life and am looking to get back into modeling again. I used to be able to find quality paper models very easily. But, now, not so much. Do you know of some good sources for models like the one of the Titanic you're currently working on?

Thank you in advance for your support,

Really? It looks hard to me.

Well I could do that. Thanks.
