I started by working on the stern by using the original blocking out shape to get the side elevation shape of the sculpted ship correct before moving onto a front on perspective of work, this can be seen in the image below.
once i was happy with this shape i added more vertical loops so that i could start to bring the the shape of the stern of the ship front on to give it the ship the Titanics trade mark reaer end.
as you can see from the image above i brought in the verts to give the same shape as the reference that i was using it was slow work but rewarding to see the shape emerging from what was before a square box. i continued ths until the basic shap was there as seen in the image below.
when i finally got the basic shape i required for the stern of the ship as seen above i then worked on defining it to get a more accurate and smoothened feel overall and also added some slight detailing.
you can see in the picture above the detailing i worked into the front end of the ship taking a break from the stern to give me chance to look further at the reference material so that i could get the shape as close as possible to the subject matter.
i then transfered these details across onto the stern of the ship also working on the rear decks and as you can see the stern shape is alot smoother than seen previoulsy.
i added a few more details to the reaer but felt happy with the shape and happy to continue with other things. i felt that i should take a break from this model for a while and concentrate on other models whilst at the same time studying further the reference and research to do with the Titanic so that when i return to this model i can set out more things to add or even detract as i feel neccessary.
