This Titanic model was built by an english modeler in the 90s. It is museum quality and has been in a case for all that time.It is located in Sitka Alaska but can be shipped anywhere.The original cost of this model was $5000 . I will try and get photos if anyone is interested. Also will see if I can find the name of the builder.

Larry and Lou, thanks for the likes. Larry, Thanks for the offer on the photoetch ,but, I think I'll just stay with what I have. There seems to be plenty and I have bought a couple extra ladder and railing sets. Plus I bought a 1/200 seaplane launcher and crane set with two OS2-Us that look pretty neat. At this stage of the build it just seems like there are 50 of everything to build and install. 50 floater baskets,50 20mm machine guns, 50 ammo lockers for the machine guns 50 various gun directors,etc.

I incentivised myself into finishing my Missouri battleship by comitting to display it in the local library in August. Hopefully life won't get in the way of that goal.

Thankyou very much. I thought I had it figured out there for a while. I have done work since so I'll try some more.

That is just nuts. I'm sure someone has found a use for such tiny objects too. Maybe in the electronic industries for printed circuitry eh?

Welcome to MSW. Just keep reading and be sure to check out all of the headings you'll find that eventually you'll be one of the folks here. Pirated kits are those which have been copied by certain foreign manufacturers of kits without permission from the original designer.

Harvey Golden,excellent points. The Tlingits ,Haida ,and Tsimshian folks all had metal pre contact. I wonder what they thoght when shipwrecks and parts of shipwrecks drifted onto their beaches. Makes me think of B.C. comics.

Well, Obviously I'm not an expert but the rocks are heavy but full of holes. Sitka is in a volcanic area with one volcano within 13 miles but extinct and its neighbor with a blown out top. There is not much Basalt around there as the underlying rock is sort of granitic known locally as greywhack. Under neath the organic over burden is usually a material we called red ash. which is crumbly and once disturbed isn't much good for anything constructive. Anyway here are a few more pics.

In this case Tommy and Tim used water in the canoe heated with rocks heated by fire to steam the canoe. The rocks they use is a type of scoria from a nearby extinct volcano. They do not split or crack from the alternate heat and water. I'm working on getting a tranche of pics from the gut who unoffically documented this just as a personal interest.
