Now, as the result of extensive research by our team and leading Britannic historians, you can explore her and learn about her like never before.īRITANNIC: PATRONESS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN is a virtual museum-like experience, where the user can explore the ship at their own pace and discover details about its story, architecture, and contributions to the First World War. This ship has never been properly recreated before, and no one has seen her in this state since she sailed the Mediterranean. Step aboard the HMHS Britannic, the third ship in the Olympic Class trio, who, like her older sister the Titanic, was cheated of a promising career. Are any of you considering getting the Trumpeter Titanic? I may even 3D-print and build a nice display case for it. One would need to take their time with this kit, whether or not they use the detail set, and that’s exactly what I plan to do. The set is $180 and not easy to order, but if you’re willing to go through the pain, it’ll be worth it. To get one, you have to be on this Facebook group - - and follow directions given there for ordering the Pontos set. From what I’ve gathered, the Pontos set isn’t being widely sold. If you’d like to take your Trumpeter kit to the next level with the Pontos set, you’ll have to jump through a few hoops first. The level of detail contained in the Pontos set is beyond anything you’ll get in the average kit or the Trumpeter itself, right down to the exact patterns of stained glass in the smoke room windows, the bells, every detail of the Crow’s nest, lifeboat plaques, funnel riveting, and detailed lifeboat interiors (including oars). 13 sheets of photo-etched metal parts, several baggies of turned brass parts, masts, brass propellers (including an option for a 4 or 3 bladed center propeller), and laser-cut decks made of real wood. Whereas the Trumpeter kit is big, the Pontos set is focused entirely on the tiny things. To compliment the Trumpeter kit, a Korean company called Pontos has started selling a detail set. If you’re interested in purchasing a Trumpeter base kit (with everything you need for a complete and detailed 1/200 Titanic), you can get one from a number of retailers, or if you’re in the mainland USA, you can order one from the THG store for $450: Out of the box, the kit can make for an excellent and quite accurate Titanic model, though you’ll want to do your own LED setup if you want it to look more accurately lit. It consists of very well-molded and well-fitted parts, a detailed hull, and includes some basic photo-etch parts, decals, and an LED lighting set. The complete kit is massive, with the boxes being almost as tall as me and the hull being nearly 4 feet, 5 inches long. As some of you may know, Titanic: Honor and Glory had a hand in some corrections done to the model, with me helping on many of those corrections. The Trumpeter 1/200 Titanic + Pontos Detail Up SetĪ model kit company in China, Trumpeter, recently started selling its new 1/200 scale Titanic kit.
