Pascal:
Very nice to see one of your creations on display for many to appreciate! It looks very authentic there, too bad it was to loose it's majestic mother ship so soon afterwards!

One of my copies of the Nomadic mounted by my friend Daniel for his very large diorama of the Titanic during its stopover in Cherbourg before its sinking.
The diorama is exposed in Cherbourg, in a bookshop.

I made some progress but not as fast as I'd like, because I'm also working on a not so young and rather rare car of a friend in my garage, it's very pleasant too.
I made some progress on the teak varnish, I applied a waxed varnish, instead of the matte one, it's nicer.
Installation of the dock's capstans.
I also engraved a part of the plate, the White Star part that was not deep enough. To do this, I just cut a vinyl mask and carefully center it by gluing it and plugging the 12 volts.
Nothing is glued.I got the dock a little dirtier.
I still have a teak board to put on the back of the dock to hide the plastic. And it will be finished after gluing the whole thing.

Looking very lovely!
I especially like the water and slime in the drain gulleys either side if the centre of the drydock! ==> Thats is inspired!

Good engineering getting the items to fit so closely. I had some similar issues (not as close a tolerance) in getting the turrets to fit properly in my M4 Tanks.
Thank you for giving a seminar by example on 3D model making!

I printed the sheet metal plate, it came out very well.
I also printed some porthole windows to practice this difficult exercise a second time.
Here the crystal resin windows have to fit perfectly into the window holes. This is complicated in 3D resin because a printed hole will be 0.6 mm smaller than what you have drawn. And the window glass will also be 0.6mm larger, so you have to take this into account when drawing, not easy, but it works.
You can see on the drawing that the windows are smaller than the porthole. In the end, in real life, there will be no space left.
These Titanic windows are specific, they turn on a central axis to open. I couldn't paint the colour of the brass frame, it's too risky with a brush, but not impossible with Maskol.

Today I have put up my lampposts, the mooring rods, the fishing rod for my old unshaven Irishman who is trying to fish, but only seaweed for the moment , the mooring line of the small boat in stretched plastic. I still have to glue the capstans which are in paint.
I am waiting for brass plates to make a nameplate for the ship.
Some pictures.

There are other brands, but these two came to my mind. I currently use the Liquitex gel. These gels come also in different viscosities and are used for a painting technique that the artists call 'impasto'.
Any art-shop has them. Brands available in France include Liquitex or Lascaux:

Interesting, do you have a link in France for this type of product and the brand you use?

I use artists' acrylic gel for water surface texture. One can build up little wavelets and also use a bristle brush to stipple the surface to give the impression of a breeze going over it. This takes away the plastic look from cast resin etc.
