Timothy,

Thank you for posting the pictures of my battleships on the modelwarships
website.

The Titanic model is the Academy Hobby Model Kits 1/400 scale (Model Ref
BA060 1458). This is the first liner that I have actually built (Most of the
models that I have built are from the tamiya 1/350 battleship range).

I decided to try and incorporate lighting into the model to try to show the
internal detail of the model. The kit is generally very well made and
incorporates a number of the internal staircases which I wanted to be able
to see once the model was completed. Also the real titanic sank at night
and many of the films portray the ship fully illuminated so I thought it
might be a nice idea to try and get this effect.

In order to get the lighting effect, I installed eight torch bulbs in the
hull, with a small jack-plug located on the bottom for external power. I
drilled out all the portholes on the hull with a vertical drill, the whole
drilling process took about two days!

Please find attached some additional photos of the model.

I would be very grateful if you would be able to put my contact email
address on the model warships.com website, if possible.

Best Regards

Stuart Hill
