Card 1:1200 Titanic

[splash]

Mighty impressive, Alan!

Lettuce looks tasty. Makes me think of tuna salad, mmmmm...

I sympathise of the tiny lifeboats. I have some ships in this scale as well, and they're not even paper. I really like the base.

Hi Prisca

Nice to see you on the forum again, you have been missed.

The small scale suits card as the detail would be very hard to paint.

I'm guessing that's a miss quote from H G Wells?

From the Jeff Wayne version anyway...been decades since I even saw the HG Wells novel, although I am sure it is in my library somewhere...

Will an iceberg lettuce do?

I think the lettuce is on the wrong side of the ship!!! But the model really is a little gem....

Excellent work with the base Splash. Those lifeboats are tiny, but don't you only have to build 5 or 6 to make it accurate? allegedly

Excellent work, I have just ordered new inc cartages for my printer…

How about putting a leek (sic.) beside the lettuce?
Then you could put a sprout (sic.) beside the leek.
A plumb (sic.) could then indicate the depths to which the Titanic, together with and this line of thought, had sunk.

Dear Vacant,
I regret to inform you that AndrewR appears to have hacked into your account here and made a post in your name

I don't think jokes about vegetables are funny but if I had to have an action film made about the thread I would have had it made by Albert Broccoli

[vacant]

That would be the Albert Broccoli who died in 1996! If you can do that, it would be a real turnip for the book.

Interesting build, by the way. I'm tempted to have ago at the Olympic.

Don't lettace keep waiting. Finish this bad boy up.

I'm tied up alongside building an SAR helicopter over on the Helicopter GB but I will come back and finish this build.

Man This looks so so cool! Whoever knew you could make such great looking models from cardboard, this must be finished :D
(P.S loving the lettuce)

[splash]

unfortunately I left it in the sun and it faded so it never got completed, but now I have built a couple of card kits I might start it again as its only a couple of sheets of A4 to print off.

For your small boats, I would just make one really nice one and then just cast it. The easy way to do that is to place it flat on a piece of plastic card and squirt a bit of silicon rubber onto it. When it dries, just scrape a little filler into the mould and let it dry. I use the DeLuxe materials Filler.
