I appologize for long delay, I am unsure how to do the next step involving the damage to the hull.
I will try to thin the plastic and hot water, post results soon
That’s a major project, good luck and keep it up.
Next you should get another model and do a diorama from the movie “Raise the Titanic” where it comes crashing through the surface of the ocean.

The music in the movie was better with this scene.
Will look forward to watching this one. You have taken on a real challenge and will enjoy watching the progress…Ceers Mark
Only in scale modeling do we tackle a project that’s way harder than building a pristine model … and yeah, I’m guilty too!
I am a scale modeller that likes standard scales, 1/72, 1/87, 1/144, 1/350, ect.
‘Box scale’ was used many decades ago. These oddball scales, 1/426 (Arizona kit), 1/525, 1/570 (Titanic kit), 1/720 make great dioramas because they can stand alone, in my opion.
I have worked on Tiranic!
Lots of portholes and I still have more to do and I have worked on the Grand Staircase.
Back in 2006/7 I had started an ‘as sunk’ Bismarck, which, for someone wanting to try a ptoject like this, is a good subject and a bit simpler than either Titanic or Arizona. Unfortunately, uncompleted, mine didn’t make the cut when packing for a move to Virginia, so it ‘went away’.
Nice work on the scatchbuilt interior Decks. Will aded a large amount of Detail to the Wreck…Cheers Mark
I finally put some primer on some of the parts
At least that was aboveboard, and out in public view.
The PRC has been systematically looting WWII ships for their “pre atomic steel” (needed for precice medical & scientific instruments). And, not casual salvage, either–they nave been looting the sunken ships in the Java Sea, and Coral Sea. HMS Repulse is sid to be entirely gone now. So, 2000m salvage dredging depths are not phasing them, not woth the premium on pre-atomic steel.
Allegedly, CCP-operated ships have been “suveying” Iron Bottom Sound near Guadalcanal. Just who will be tasked to protect the Maritime Exclusion Zone of the Solomons is an open question.
Glad to see you back at it Shane!
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement, honey do’s have impeaded my progress [:'(]
