      From 2006 to 2010  finish of my Britannic wreck model was one of hell worth it! :)

      Regard, William B.

This is absolutely superb! I cannot even imagine the untold hours it took you to complete this. My hat is off to you. Thanks for sharing this inspirational work of your hands and mind.

That is Truely AMAZING! museum quality stuff right there,

keep it up

Welcome to the forum. Your model of the Britannic is a skillfully created work of the model maker's art at a level at which most aspire to but rarely achieve.

Stunning work William! Everything on it looks just exactly right! Weathered, but not overdone. Fantastic detail level properly done with what appears to be real damage as expected in the wreck. Very creative use of ordinary materials and beautifully displayed and photographed! I couldn't ask for more!!

As for an article in FSM? I would certainly hope so! It certainly belongs there! You have my vote at least, not that I can do all that much. I will steer a few people I know towards this post. Maybe something will come of it? [:D I'm pretty sure the editors of FSM visit these pages from time to time and perhaps they already have seen it? I would love to see a nice center spread of about four pages with your work displayed for the world to see. It deserves it. 

Greg:

   THANKS!! Yes it lot of researched over this Britannic and then turn into a wreck. Take me long time to reach a "FINISH Line"

      OOPS!  I was not start to do FSM magazine yet.... kind of not understand how to start with this.. but I will work out as soon!  Since, I was so busy with other many models! :P

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES. DEAD SHIPS, HOWEVER, DO!!

Many and Many THANKS!

   Tankerbuilder:

    Yes, It been take me (on and off) over my model of Britannic wreck for 5 years much same as your model.. too.... but sure it was so worth to do it!

 I used plastic styrene to add on the Hull with lighter to melt it as a bit and look much as metal twist or bends... Sometime I used paper with super glue and let it dry and then tear it .... It look much like force metal tears or something like that... there lot of tricks over on the 'Tear Area' and more, But it so fun to do it!   :)

 Regard,

 William B. Barney

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES, DEAD SHIPS, HOWEVER, DO!!

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

William,

Truly magnificent work! Thank you for sharing.....

Yes, the two large hulls, did you scratchbuild them? If so, what was your process?

Brilliant Model, William!  Can you tell us how you achieved the corrosion effect?

Matt
