Wow, mine didn't make it over 2 hours... whole bag... GONE! *sigh*

We got home from Bar Harbor Maine yesterday and there was a happy package waiting for me. YAY!!! Thank you so much for your generosity John! Today I worked from home, and as a general rule I munch while I work. I don't think I had two NUG-EEs before firing up the browser, only to find out I...

PM replied! Wow, this is going to be VERY cool, and a challenge to paint! Thank you!!! Hmm... 1/400... that's going to feel HUGE :)

Thanks Scott! I hope your move went uneventfully (is that a word?!) Can't wait to see the entries that weren't build logs here... if they are up to what happened with build logs, there will be some more spectacular eye-candy!! Good luck everyone!

Riggers, umm I bought the fishing line, but then I looked at photos of the titanic and figured I just don't have the patience or skill to pull that off. I have a sail ship in the stash, I will probably try rigging on that one.

I don't know how I missed this one... this is FANTASTIC! What a great use of household recycling! LOVE it!

Thanks guys! Finale video! 2013 SMA Spring Contest Titanic Finale! SciFi next build for sure!

It's 10:21pm on Friday... and I'm DONE! Untitled by anguscubed, on Flickr Untitled by anguscubed, on Flickr Untitled by anguscubed, on Flickr Untitled by anguscubed, on Flickr Ok, so I took my beauty shots, and even set her up on the book-shelf... now I'm looking for the submission form...

The photo-etch railings have begun! 11:30pm, and I'm calling it quits tonight. I'll try to do some at lunch tomorrow... this is sure down to the wire! I can't stay up late tomorrow either, I'm going on a sea fishing trip and have to leave at 4:30am on Saturday :( Untitled by anguscubed, on...

I've got a wet bar in my recreation room that I don't use anymore, it would look great there if you want to drive up to Connecticut with it... please, no bumps on the way! LOL Seriously John, if it were me, I'd build it into a coffee table!

5 rails in 1/4" ... I have no idea how I'm going to paint these without getting bubbles between the rails. I'll try masking and airbrushing I guess!

Repairs complete! I've been working from home so I can sneak in lunch-time build time, and today I finished getting her back to where she was. Untitled by anguscubed, on Flickr I gave her a touch-up paint job, filling in light leaks with Mr. Surfacer 500, then masking off black and white...

Eee Gads! I really should have waited to connect the power ... That's right folks, the power cord wrapped around my size 14 doofus shoes, and SANK THE TITANIC! Ugh! After glueing in all the fiddly bits, but thankfully not the photo-etch, she took a fall about 2 feet to the floor. She's a...

John, if you don't give up on the Brakiri, Mercury 9, and the Falcon, I have no excuse to give up on the Titanic! She won't sink me! Biskup: I feel the same every time I light her up! Taking a bit of a break to check up on other entries then it's back to the grind to get her finished for the...

I'm not giving up! I made some progress this week, but it will be tight to get her done for the contest. 2013 SMA Spring Contest Titanic 04

Well, it's been almost 4 weeks since I was able to spend any time on this model due to "normal life" interference. Considering I'm a little less than half done, I don't think I'm going to finish for the contest. Once I connected the upper decks to the hull I noticed that I can see my red power...

Thanks Ridgers22, This is the year to get a "good" Titanic model. This one ain't it, although it is pretty good for the scale. The 1:350 also from Academy, especially the Centennial edition released last year are superb! You can learn about the ship, models, and after-market upgrades for her at...

I finally got around to starting the lighting! I was kinda bummed that the LED candle flicker lights were quite red instead of warm-white or orange. 2013 SMA Spring Contest - Titanic 03

You are just a paper modeling MACHINE! My gawd I can't believe the detail that you are coaxing out of paper! Absolutely amazing, and a joy to watch!

Got a little more in today, but not enough for a video yet. I cut out the roof of the Marconi room. The instructions said to make it a bit bigger to be more accurate, so I cut out the hole a little too aggressively. I had to add in some styrene rod to fill in some gaps. I guess Academy must...
