aurelien wolff Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Hello, coming back to the forum, I got back to my olympic class passion. I did some research and found out there's a lot of what if possibilities for the 3 ships. I managed to negociate 4 books on the class with my parents and got 2 more titanics for easter, one for a june 1911 britannic, when the order was given to proceed with it to harland & wolff (guessing it'd look identical to olympic at this point), the other I'm now unsure if it'll be a funnel design or not, I can do the A, B and C design preceeding the D one from 1908. The gift set I got for easter: What the 1/570 titanic looked like before I started to remove paint and unglued the deck: The 1/1200 scale kit: The deck after I started removingg the paint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Those later photos look like the ships on the sea bed! This has the makings of a very interesting WIP. Good luck with the long haul project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurelien wolff Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Thanks, note that I'm a slow builder and my building speed depends of my motivation and what I'm working one. I'm planning on doing the july 1911 britannic in this livery I wonder how I'll tackle the windows for my multiple 1/570 kit, I'm not going to spend the kit price for a upgrade set and how I'll do the britannic gantry davits when I'll do another one base on the rigging plan and the lifeboats source; http://rms-titanic.fr/otb/index/index_b_armement.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adm Lord De Univers Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Interesting idea and I do rather like this class so I'll be following along. You may find the following article insightful (particularly the Titanic's rather fetching pinkish hue for antifouling): http://www.titanic-cad-plans.com/color-guide/ David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Academy 1/600 Titanic that I want to build as the Olympic but I also having problems on how to address the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orso Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) The easiest thing to see is that Titanic's forward section of her A-Deck Promenade was enclosed with windows; Olympic's A-Deck Promenade was left was open to the elements. There was an conversion for the 1/350 scale kit once. I have the Revell 1/700 Olympic that I bought once to have a look at the differences in "3D" This page has more information https://www.reddit.com/r/titanicfacts/comments/9jq053/visible_differences_between_rms_titanic_and_rms/ Edited May 16, 2022 by Orso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
