In for the build.
I keep meaning to build one of these for my wife. She has a fascination with Titanic, one of her family members was aboard when it sank. We went to the exibition in London last year, it was quite moving as it focused more on the people on board than the actual ship and accident.
The last exhibit was particularly sad. It was four black walls with the names and ages of the dead, one each for staff, 1st class, 2nd class and steerage.
The Staff, 1st and 2nd class walls had mostly male names, aged 18 and over. The fourth wall was by far the largest, and had the names of men, women and children. I think the youngest was just a year old.
Interesting fact, did you know Titanic had a swimming pool? I didn't until I saw the cutaway model they had built (which was about 5 feet long and pretty epic).Si vis pacem, para bellum.Comment

Great progress Ian. I visited the Titanic Museum in Branson once it was very impressive my girls love that movie.Comment

Got what rigging I’m putting on, on. So now it’s time to work on the base/resin.

Been a while since I worked on this, Titanic is ready for the resin. I’ve just got to finish the iceberg.

Nice work Ian.
A very interesting take on the subject.
As an aside, I can't think anyone would buy the iceberg photo. All a bit confusing, but according to the writing, the photographer, Capt. Wood, took the snap in April 1913....One year after the Titanic sank! :nerd::nerd:!
