Description Here we have HMT Olympic during WW1 serving as a Troop Transport.

So far this is a work in progress as I've removed all colour to the ship to make her pure white and added her HMT additions. These include walk way from Poop-Deck to B-Deck over the aft well deck. The 6 inch gun turrets. The additional lifeboats and some stairs that goes from A-Deck Promenade to the forward well deck.

This image is in the last stage before completion as all she needs is her Dazzle Paint scheme.

Did you know that Olympic was hit with a torpedo, but it failed to detonate? Even so, Olympic could have survived that, the maximum damage a torpedo can do is 2 compartments.

Actually I learned that Olympic wasn't white on her launch day, she was a light grey color.

she has been rather lucky to only sustain minimal damage from things like that unlike her sisters who when struck something suffered a fatal wound
