Hookie ... did you paint the picture of Gunsagogo? I'm an Artist member of the American Society of Aviation Artists and I'd say you got the juice to be one too. Cherry juice, that is ... charged with a 200-inch accumulator to work the ramp and motor the APU for startup.

Looks good Frank. I've tried that kit without much success (too much warpage)

First of all, this build has been going on for almost 19 months now. It's one of the old Revell 1/570th Titanic's, originally built OOB for my Daughter, but then I began detailing it as materials became available: Rails, Ladders, re-built funnels, re-built Curl Vents, scratched decks, scratched Benches, scratched Skylights.... etc etc....anyhow, today I was at the point of installing the fiber optic "Deck Lights".






I'm going to mount it diorama style, as she appeared at 1:20 am on the night she went down, with the correct lifeboats in the water and being lowered, with passengers on the deck and in the boats.... something like this:


Way too many modifications to list, but I thought I'd let you see it as she appears this evening.

Take care,
Frank
