    Thank you for the comments and interest in this model. What I was told by the builder's family is that this was the second large model ship he built. As a young man he built a 28 foot long model ocean liner. It was completely finished and he would take it to a lake, launch it, climb inside and drive it around. This was also his plan I was told for this model. The hatch closest to the superstructure opens up and there is a large enough opening to enter the hull. The hull framing is stout enough I believe to allow the model to be put in the water. I was told the plan was to finish the top sides, then remove it as a unit, flip the hull over and complete the hull and running gear. I have no plans to make it operable as I feel it's too delicate to put in the water, and I already have a 42' wooden boat built in 1928 that is enough work ! I do have in mind a model ship museum that I think should have it and display it when it is all finished. This model would fit their space and focus I believe. Here are a couple more photos of finished areas and details. Thanks for looking and any advise is welcome !

    I acquired this unfinished model ship a few years ago and am finally making some progress to finish it. It is quite large measuring 40 feet long, 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide. This model was started in 1962 and ended up in a warehouse having been largely taken apart and a few superstructure elements ending up at other places. Over the last few years I was able to relocate most of the parts and reassemble the model to it's unfinished state. After studying the available online images, a trip to the San Francisco Maritime museum to copy their images, building the PYRO/Lindberg plastic kit of the ship and acquiring a few slides from past passengers, I am on my way building the missing elements. I have managed to assemble several more sets of davits, made drawings of missing parts and started building the missing aft mast and aft superstructure. Still to build are lifeboats, deck and lifeboat winches, the second swimming pool, railings on all decks, the extended 1st class dining room, aft hull and lots of detail parts. I hope you all enjoy seeing this model
