Titanic 1:400 JSC amended full hull.

[chapuzas100]

Some time ago not start a new thread, but every day I visit this forum.
I take time working on this project is well underway and I want to share it here.

The project is to modify a boat that comes waterline hull to complete the first test and I'm doing with the titanic of JSC.



The first thing I did was move the internal structure in the original paper to a carton of 1 mm

The first idea is to adapt the pieces of model Gomix that he also bought.




But the waterline of the two models do not match, as can be seen in this photo.




The JSC model is more unreal, I can only use the profile of the model Gomix and the remainder will build from scratch.

The first attempt was very bad





The second attempt was better

.............. and continue.

Now the problem is to paint the hull plating and disguising the court of original pieces to which I have made.

First the paint with a marker



But the result is not good and advised me try other solutions. For the next test short strips of colored hull and marks sheet and then the one to one hit to the hull. This time the result if I like.



Here you can see better comparison



The latest photos are of the promenade deck first class, I'm doing tests with cables chimneys, I'm still not sure how I will ride.







Tomorrow will finish mounting the helmet, I am eager to read your comments.

A greeting.

This is very interesting. Are you plating the hull with small individual strips?

[chapuzas100]

First I did it as normal that a model brings the complete hull and will paint stripes, as I am not happy as I am stuck strips above the hull.

Great job !
This semi-scratch building is a challenge hard to solve, but your work are impressive and very clean !
Congratulations my friend !

And so it is definitely the hull of this model







Here you can see compared with the first attempt






I hope your comments.

A greeting

Fantastic rework there, even to my unknowledgeable eye about ships it looks many times better

[chapuzas100]

The first attempt to simulate the hull plating was painting with a ruler and a marker




The result is not good, the grating are not parallel and have different widths

For the second attempt I do is cut strips of paper with the marks painted on and I hitting the hull, in these two photographs can be seen strips pasted on the helmet painted with felt pens.








Here you can compare the first hull against the final outcome, (it hurts so bad picture)





Un saludo
