Finally! After a few hectic and tiring if utterly exciting days moving to a new apartment with my girlfriend, I’ve finally got the time (and specially the energy
) to keep going with my beloved Titanic kit while we watched our football team fail once again. What a season they’re having… Long story there, lmao.
So this time I had to do two things:
- Prepare, craft and fit to the ship a coupe of lower decks closer to the bow
- Add a couple of layers to the hull on the port side of the structure
I’ve gotta say it! During the first low deck on the stern side I was nervous about all this tiny parts fitting in tiny holes next to each other thing on the deck surfice parts, but… I’m earning skill through it and I’ve felt it already this time! That’s another reason why these kits are wonderful, isn’t it?
This specific deck area was slighly challenging to fit into the structure though:
So… Those teeth on front go into two holes in the deck you already see fit in the image (those holes are right behind those cranes), and then there are two other holes in that deck that fit into the red structure behind it. Thing is, if you add slightly too much pressure in order to fit it, the long red parts of the skeleton of the ship may jump up and you’d have to take care of that before trying again. Beware that! After that, it should look kind of like this:
Last but not least, the opposite site of the ship (the port side) has received a full length hull this time! At least the black part of it, that’s it.
I can’t stop repeating how satisfying and easy it is to fit the long hull parts. They’re flexible and they fit smoothly and quickly in the skeleton parts of the ship.
I keep seeing the body of the ship slightly… crooked down, on the sides? But it’s not affecting the build so far, so I’m calm about it. As you can see this is going further and I’ll be done with decks and stuff pretty soon!
BONUS TRACK
We still have a lot (and I mean A LOT) of stuff in the boxes, specially regarding decoration, figurines… My girlfriend is addicted to Funko Pop (I’m as well, who am I lying to, but not as much as she is
) so we’ll have plenty of shelves and tables to fill out with our nerdism. But so far I’ve found the shelf over the TV table as my perfect showcase spot!
Yeah, yeah, only one build and a half! What can I say? The Dream Gift Factory ended up as Christmas decoration gift for my parents, the Water Lily one was already for my mum, and the Carousel is at my parents-in-law, so for now… It’s only ships here!
But hey, they’re already waiting their turns to find their spots ![]()
