    Wow, the exchange rate is about 2:1 so that's $3,200 plus $400 to ship it. For $3,600 it better have a motor so i can drive it.
    As i recall the waves are plaster of paris and i forget how they do the foam, i type of clear plastic i think. it is a spectacular model.
    In Branson, Mo they have a model of the Titanic which is about 20ft long. the modeler made individual hull plates exactly like the real ones and riveted them onto the ship with scale rivets one at a time he then cut wood planks to make the deck.
    and, Yea, i wish i could do that too

    THAT'S IMPRESSIVE!!!!!!!!!!

    Mike, I think the waves crashing over the bow are done with cotton and are teased with glue to hold them it in place but I could be wrong.

    That isn't the model your getting...
























    Your paying for a commission to get a model similar to that one made by the seller...

    That being said the example is pretty fantastic.

    Holy F that is almost worth the price for a mantle piece. I bet someone buys it.
