1/350 scales of HMHS Britannic wreck model
Posted by William B. Barney on Sunday, January 30, 2011 1:57 PM

  Hello, First thing about me..... I am new on this site and I hope I post on right place... I really don't understand about this site and where should I post at and how I post my pictures on here!?  I am member of other site Titanic Research & Modeling Association for many years! Of course, I am Modeler for any scales and researched over Titanic, HMHS Britannic and other Old Liners for many years!

The Titanic's younger sister Britannic was have been the most opulent of the three White Star Giants. But World War 1 caused her conversion into a Spartan hospital ship, in which guise she sank by a German mine in the Mediterranean in November 1916.

       I was bought the Titanic 1/350 scales model and turned into the Britannic and those hull and shapes and etc are about 85% same as Titanic and other that I have to do scratch built. So that my own vision of wreck look like in late 1940's era when the World Wars was end! Reason, the Britannic wreck as right now.. it much all cover by sea corals and sea life marine that hard to see what behind of Britannic. So I decide do 50% show the colors and other 50% cover of sea life marine!

Again, I dont know how I can post my images of my model.... So I guess I link from other site TRMA.

Enjoy!  : )

That is some very fine work. I don't know if people understand what it takes to get a wreck to look  that real. Real work of art.

Absolutely first rate work here!  The level of detail is astounding.  Did you have to scratchbuild the life boat davits?  Would be great if you told us about your techniques and kits used.  I've found it harder to portray something that is wrecked as opposed to something still in service.  And by the way, welcome to the forums!Toast

DAMN!!!!!

If you can do that good, i would really like to see more of your work. When
I was little, i studied the Titanic well into the night. Even though this is her sister ship. Have you done a titanic wreck? you would have to do 2 different bases due to the debris field between the halves. I just might do another titanic model.

      Here I am going show how I was progressed of the HMHS Britannic wreck model... All of those Titanic 1/350 scales that I bought it and changed into HMHS Britannic and all other that I had to do scratch built it ...

   10 of Gantry Davits are come out with paper and I drew to shapes it and then print it and put super glue on paper to cover it and turn into strong as plastic sheet. Then cutting all around there... it hell of work to done those 10 tiny pieces!!

  All other thing to add more walls, windows and end of stern with add new decks. (add floor)

I assume that the two hulls on your work bench are kit hulls? What kit are they from?

WILLIAM.. My hat is off to you in respect . I build proffessionally and even I can,t make wrecks look like they,ve been on the bottom all these years. Did you use the paper technique for all the inner structures at the hull break ? All I can say is you have the TALENT . this is an awesome example of what can be done with a ship model ! I have been working (on and off)  on a model of an AMERICAN DESTROYER in WW2 after a KAMIKAZI has done its terrible deed ! Getting the bent and blown up stuff to look right is NOT easy. That puts your work in a very special category indeed . Welcome to the forum and I believe if you send the printed out pictures to FSM magazine (attn. gallery) you might get that day in the sun. Good luck and again welcome .        tankerbuilder
