The Olympic Liner is one of the largest passenger ships ever created, these impressive vessels have carried people over the seas in style since 1861.
I gave the hull was given a basecoat of Citadel Chaos Black.
I then decided to add a dark red to the hull where it (in theory) would be under the waterline. Similar to the marketing shots for the model.

Having washed the resin model I affixed the metal masts. This was quite challenging as they need to be leaning in a particular direction and the “hole” is quite small.
After giving the models a white undercoat, I painted the superstructure with Vallejo Ivory (918). Not sure at this point about how to paint the windows.
The hull was given a basecoat of Citadel Chaos Black, I wasn’t very neat!
The Olympic Liner is one of the largest passenger ships ever created. Built at the Proctor & Mercer Shipyards in Middlesbrough, these impressive vessels have carried people over the seas in style since 1861. A main selling point is the advanced technological design, and claimed robustness of the ship’s hull. However, the outbreak of world war saw many of the Olympic Liners refitted to fulfil the role of a troop carrier. With its pioneering keel design, the Olympic Class Troop Transport cuts through the water at high speed, allowing it to efficiently deliver thousands of troops to war zones around the globe.
It comes in a blister and is a one piece resin model with metal masts. I gave the model a wash to remove any mould lubricant.
One of the things I did need to decide on was, did I paint it in “peacetime” colours, in a similar style to the promotional picture, or did I paint it in wartime colours (as on the datacard). In the end I decided to go with the civilian colours, black hull and white superstructure.
Back in April Spartan Games showed off the Olympic Class Troop Transport for Dystopian Wars.

I remember thinking that would make a great model for various Dystopian War scenarios. I didn’t get one at the time, and thought no more of it.
Finding one recently though, I did buy it on impulse. It comes in a blister and is a one piece resin model with metal masts.
