Titanic: Honor & Glory

I know, no updates from me for months, now suddenly a bunch. I should be taking a couple days to enjoy the holidays, yet here I am, a couple hours before the ball drops, getting a start on one of the watertight bulkheads. This bulkhead is WTB O at Frame 111 Aft, one of the furthest aft bulkheads. I

Kyle here - Happy to tell you all that I've begun the process of making the ship's frames. These are steel channel "beams" that form the ribs of the ship. They're what the hull plating and deck beams are riveted to. In some places they are partly replaced by larger and more robust web frames for ext

Not much to say here, just doing more Tank Top plating, so here are a few more images. Things get really weird towards the bow and stern, especially the stern in way of the dynamo rooms, fresh water tanks, and shaft tunnels.

Hi folks, Kyle here again! Over the last month or so I've made some faster progress than usual, though there's still a long, long path ahead. Here's a quick rundown of what's been done: SHELL PLATING I mostly finished adjusting the bottom shell plating of the hull. This involved adjusting the meshes

Hi all, Kyle here: ~FLOORS~ Placement of the wing tank floors is done! It was a tedious process, but they're all in place with their lightening and limber holes figured out. This means all the floors are now in place, so only the wing brackets are left to do. However, I can skip the brackets for now

It's been a rather slow month, including another week or so where I couldn't get much done. But most of all this part of the ship has definitely proven to be the most difficult. The lackluster documentation, interplay of parts, and the sheer amount of curvature in this part of the ship lead to some

Hey folks, It's been nearly a month since my last update and I'm sure you're all wondering what I've been up to. Initially I was making a bit of progress on the floors (frames) for the double bottom, however I quickly realized there were some major issues with the models I had missed. It happens and

Kyle here. This is just a quick update to let you all know that I hate the keel to stem transition and I'm still not sure if the plating is totally correct here. That said, it looks good enough and so I can move on to the next strake (G). I look forward to leaving the plating behind for a while afte

Kyle here with another little update! With the plating strakes plotted out and translated to the hull mesh, I've already begun to extrude the hull plates, one strake, one plate at a time. I've started with the innermost plates along the bottom, strake "B" to be exact. So far I've made it out to stra

Kyle here! Just a quick preview of what I'm working on now, which is plotting out the lines of the shell plating on the hull. This is a tedious task that has to be done before I can move to some other aspects of the model I'd like to, like frames. I'm also hoping to get the bottom plating out of the
