My Titanic series

Hello,

In this first thread, let me show you my paper boats. I am very interested in the Titanic disaster so when I found a free model at Curell graphic's, I downloaded it and take advantage of the free time Covid gave us to build it.

It is 1/1200.

I am sorry for the size of the picture, I have been looking for posting the thread with a bigger picture than a thumbnail, which could be more visual. Anyway, hope you like it.

Of the Titanic alone, I do not have other pictures.

But Ralph Curell also gives a nice Carpathia at 1/600. Willing to respect the scale rule I began with the Titanic, I downscaled her by printing it down to 50%.

For those who are not familiar with the Titanic story, the Carpathia is the boat who moved as fast as possible to the sinking Titanic (as fast as 17 knots, 3 knots faster than designed: the captain even stopped the production of hot water for the passengers to increase steam pressure!) and then rescued the passengers of the small boats.

Of course the second picture is totally unrealistic; the boat never met. But it gives an idea of the relative sizes of both ships.

Finally, I tried to make my first naval diorama with the Carpathia. She is as she could have been on the dawn of the 15th of April 1912, slaloming on a quiet sea between icebergs at full speed to rescue the Titanic.

My next ideas about this subject will be to put the Titanic in a diorama like I did with the Carpathia. Why not, representing the wreck of the Titanic in the abyss. There are some paper models about this...

Hello, I think I made a confusion: the Titanic is a Curell graphics' production and the Carpathia is designed by Wayne Mc Cullough. I think I got confused with all those British names. Sorry about that.
