Tks Jim & Tom.

This sheet metal panel is finished.�

It's not easy to draw a straight line with the adhesive tape and the rivets for the airbrush. Better to spray with little thinner.

I still have a coat of bronze to apply, Revell 92. Otherwise it's Revell anthracite N�9 and Revell off-white N�5.

I'll see if I can give it a light patina, night is good for advice.

Slight aging of the panel.



I etched the brass plate with the electrolysis method with the cotton swab, it worked pretty well as explained in the video tutorial (part 2).

I need to cut it to size and polish it again, but it's not bad.

Tk Goodwood!

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. �

it is all looking very much 'of a piece!

Dockyard looks like it's drying out after one of these very infrequent rains?

Wonderfull! Tom

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.
