That is absolutely incredible work! Takes a LOT of experience to get these nice and clean looking results. The Titanic sure had a lot of clutter compared to modern ships, but that makes her a pleasure to observe. Must have been a lot of hard work to operate those cranes on the real thing. I think a "boarding room" model without weathering would be a good choice. Anyway: absolutely fantastic work by a solution oriented rivet counter. Thanks for sharing!

For some reason I cannot see the other reply, but I have noticed that on certain photos of Titanic that there is definitely weathering on her, as you mentioned she was exposed to the elements for a time including sea trials, anchor and components would show signs too.

Goodness I can't believe how beautiful she looks. Outstanding detail; I can watch you work for...years. The cranes look great, but where the port one is blocking the only stairs to the well deck, as you had to bend the railings, how did one get there when at sea. You may have said how but I missed it. There are two stairs and two ladders to the fore deck but only the one down. Perhaps the intention was to prevent passengers from coming down to the well deck, the crew would use the bulkhead doors, as that area would be very busy during loading the holds..
@johnnyhollis9977
Жыл бұрын
Spot on! They were usually removed to help loading when in port as a swinging load of netted stores would destroy them if one swayed into the fragile stair rails. This set of stairs can be seen in the 1920's Olympic promotional film (YTube) with 2 ladies descending to the well deck. Ironically the footage is staged as the ships holds are open for dock crane supplying stores. As you say, that would not normally be allowed for passenger use in such situations and the top gate would have been shut too! 😉

Hey Ben, the ladders are actually hidden away in the Pontos kit (page 12). However, a load of modellers would probably only have the KA so your point was relevant! I was thinking, a tiny bit of packing under the crane body (1mm) may have helped with the clearance problem. Regards JH 😉⚓

Thanks! I almost did that. I was concerned it would be noticeable… I probably should have at least tried it. Ultimately, noticing the support stand should have been angled and modifying it early on would have be “best” but those little things take a lot of research. And I need to finish the model.

Submersible footage of the wreck shows a closed gate at the top of the stairs with no sign of the stairs. Could be that it came off on its way down or possibly that staircase was removable and stowed. Hardly any pictures to be found of that area.

I think I know the area you are describing, the “railing” is incorrect. That was an error in the PE that was discovered too late. It’s since been corrected from Woodys Model works. But I can’t repair it on this build because it will rip up the deck.
