The status of this site : Due to personal circumstances I have had to put a hold on building the Titanic.  I am unsure when I will be able to re-start building the model.  I will maintain this site for the foreseeable future, and will complete the model when possible.  I hope this doesn't cause any body too much disappointment.  Mark.

Build The Titanic is a magazine published by Hachette Partworks.  It's a weekly magazine, with the main aim being to complete a 1/250 scale model of the Titanic, which will take 100 issues, or 2 years.  I would suggest that first time visitors read the 'Magazine' Page, then have a look at the model pages.

Announcement about new part work series from Hachette

Hachette Partworks, the publisher of Build the Titanic and Red Baron is about to launch a new build up model series. The model will be the German WWII battleship, the Bismarck. This ship is famous for sinking the HMS Hood and consequently for being rolled over and sunk by the Royal Navy in 1941. The laser cut parts have been made by the same manufacturer as the Titanic model and its been created from the original plans to a scale of 1:200. The first issue goes on sale on 21st February and as per the other build up models, you receive some parts each week to complete the model.  I shall be building this model and running a web site.  The address is www.buildthebismarck.co.uk

 

 

"Build the Red Baron's Fighter Plane"

The web address of the site is www.buildafokkertriplane.co.uk

This is a model of the Red Baron's famous red Fokker Dr1 Triplane, in a massive 1/8th scale.

The Guest Map - Like a guest book, but you can put your entry on the map.

 

Here is a picture of the model as it stands at the moment.

 

Bruce has sent in a drawing - so I thought I'd have a change on the Front Page.

 

Bulletin Board

New !!!! I've added a bulletin Board for general discussion between builders.  Please use good judgement when posting.  E.g.  No bad language, no slanging matches (nothing wrong with disagreement, just keep it polite.)
No adverts please.

Sorry about the pop-up windows - I can't do anything to stop them.

 

 

'Build the Victory' bulletin board

I've put this bulletin board here for anybody building Del Prado's Victory

 

If anybody has any suggestions, please drop me an Email.  If anybody has any photos that they would like me to consider publishing on this site I would like to hear from them.  Pictures of Models are particularly welcome.
