RMS Majestic
by Fred Koster
1/446 (Airfix/Revell Kitbash)
The White Star Liner RMS Majestic was built in 1890. She briefly took the westbound Atlantic speed record in 1891. She also served
as a troop ship during the Boer War. In 1902 Majestic underwent a refit, and her three masts were reduced to two. In November 1911
she was mothballed, but resumed service to replace the ill fated Titanic. She was scrapped in 1914.
I have modeled Majestic as she was in 1906, when my great-grandmother, and grandmother, aged 6 months, emigrated to New York aboard
her.
The hull is much modified from an Airfix 1/600 Mauretania kit. The scale works out to be about 1/446. Some parts, such as the
funnels, are from the Revell 1/570 Titanic kit. The masts, rigging and lifeboat davits are brass wire and tubing. PE is from Gold
Medal Model’s 1/450 Merchant set.
“莫扎迪斯”号班轮
制作者：佛瑞德•科斯特比例：1/446
套材：Airfix / Revell Kitbash白星班轮“莫扎迪斯”号建于1890年。1891年，她短暂的取得了西行大西洋速度记录。在布尔战争她也运送了军队。
在1902年，“莫扎迪斯”号进行了改装，她的三个桅杆被减少到两个。在1911年11月她被封存，但恢复服务，以取代不幸命运的“泰坦尼克”号。她
于1914年被废弃。 我模仿的是1906年的“莫扎迪斯”号，当时我的曾祖母和祖母（才6个月），登上她，移居到纽约。船体是经过多处修改的Airfix
的1/600比例的“毛里塔尼亚”号套材。作品的规模大约为1/446。一些地方，如烟囱，是来自利华的1/570比例的“泰坦尼克”号套材。桅杆、索具和
救生艇吊艇架是铜丝和铜管。蚀刻件是来自Gold Medal Model的1/450比例的“商人”套件。 |
