..featuring Titanic in SUPER 3D...

.. nowadays it seems that every movie will have a 3D effect.... so the movie TITANIC also need to jump in the bandwagon with its latest offering.... TITANIC in SUPER 3D...

featuring the touch of renowned director.. JJ Abrams & Micheal Bay...

see the trailer below....



p/s: i cant stop laughing at this.... its not an insult to the movie Titanic.. but i think its logical if the remake of the movie rest on the shoulder of director JJ Abrams and Micheal Bay....

watch it and you'll see what i mean... :o)

April 10... a Century ago... a great ship set sail....

today.. a ship called RMS Titanic set for its maiden voyage across the Atlantic Ocean from Southampton, England to New York City with a total passengers and crews of 2,224 people.

....


p/s: i was waiting to post this for over a century (well i might be a bit exaggerated) but always wanted to commemorate this date ever since i started building (now completed-here) my RMS Titanic model. So hopefully this very short post served my purpose.. and i should have posted this early in the morning.. but again responsibility gets in the way of posting... so this should suffice.. ;o)

RMS Titanic is DONE!!!!

Just a few minutes ago... i called this project completed!!! and now ready for SMM 2011 in KL..(what is this SMM 2011.. click me!)

as a teaser here is the not-so-detail-shots of my RMS Titanic..

I'll post a better photo a little later...

Now i can look forward to another build... hmmm i wonder what will it be next..

kuman :o)

The END is NEAR..... Titanic almost done!!

THE END IS NEAR!!!

i continue on with this build with the process of rigging again...
a tiring process of the whole build.. since the threads are just so tiny and trying to tie-a-knot by using a tweezer is no fun at all... luckily there's SuperGlue that i can use ... although it helps but i also end-up in more than once.. manage to get my fingers "glued" to the tweezer!!!... painful...

anyway here is another round of photos for the rigging process...

after this i'll be putting the lifeboats and then maybe i call it done....
This ship is due in HHQ KL in May 21, 2011.... so come and see it live there..

Building the famous RMS Titanic - rigging...

ok back to the build....

Now the fun part of ship building.... rigging...

This is the first time ever i do rigging for ship (since  never build ship before), using the included nylon thread in the kit (although i know that there's a good thread called Lycra that is very nice in scale compared to this nylon thread which a bit oversized).

so far so good but having a big fingers didnt help a bit... i need to use twizzers for the rigging and a bit of help from CA glue to make it stick.
enjoy the photos and next i'll post on the stand/base for the titanic.

Building the famous RMS Titanic - painting the parts

back to Titanic...

last week my compressor went kaput so all the mood for modelling kaput also.... now since i'll be getting the compressor back in a few days.. thought i share some of the progress *before* the compressor kaput...

The Funnel
The funnel already being painted with my own red + yellow mixture to make it orange...still i think i need to tone down the orange a bit more..

 The Hull paint
Also since i dont have the Hull-Red paint.. need to mix the paint as suggested by the instruction.. 1 black + 2 red.. but it doesnt seem right.. so i add another portion of red.. and the result as follows...

 The black paint is just a straight Flat Black
will need to clear coat this later

Building the famous RMS Titanic... - Dry fitted waiting for the LED..

A Small update..

i completed the major build for the Titanic...
the light-block already done except for the hulls and now trying to acquire some LED...

over-ambitious me think.. but if i dont do it now i dont know when else i'll got the courage to try it..
the only left unpainted are the cranes, the funnels and the hulls...
these will be done this week while i wait for the LED.

Building the famous RMS Titanic...

"You jump, i jump" 

-- Perhaps one of the most famous sentences uttered in the whole 1997 movie Titanic by James Cameron.

Another build from me since my last build (the Space 1999: Eagle Transporter) is about to be completed soon.

This time around, i'll be building the famous RMS Titanic ship in 1/400 scale (about 2.3 feet long). This is the first ship build for me in this humongous scale. Dunno if i'm up to the challenge since this is a big plunge for me in ship modelling.

I bought this kit a few years back together with an Eduard PE to complement the ship detailing. And this build i target it to be completed by March 26, 2011. Overly ambitious? yes.. since my track record of building anything usually will take around 2-3 months to finish, but i'll try my very best o get ti competed in the time-frame. allocated.

On to the photos...The box art.
