Hello everyone, i was just stumbled across this message board a while ago, and i was reading some of the threads and this really sounded like a massage board i need to be hooked up with. This is my first post here, i am 19 years old, male, my name is Jonathan, and i was really quiet taken with the rare photo taken aboard the olympic which i think yall finally decided was taken from, i think its olympic too, anyway i have been interested in the Titanic since i was 4! i saw the National Geographics "secrets of the Titanic" airnig and i watched it was just fasinated by it! anyway, you guys have heard me go on about my self im sure you are wondering why in titled this "Titanic's Grand Staircase" ok well when i turned 13 i decided to make a model of the forward grand staircase, and i spared no expense, and i looked at every photographs i could get my hands on to make it look as accurate as possible, well i turned 19 just now, and my model will be featured in the Houston Mare time Museum, and i am just doing touch ups and mild repairs to make it look just almost to perfection, it has alot of the same original wood work when i built it at 13 i have laid one inch tiles with the dark blue painted design on them in the accurate pattern, i found a roman numeral clock that works and ticks to hang up n the little honor and glory crowning time. i carved my cherub out of a block of balsa wood and made it darker than the wood around the staircase, i made over 92 chandeliers which that hang from the ceiling. some of the things are not very accurate but they were things that i could only do my best on coz as you guys do know, you are only limited to a certain amount of angles and photos of the grand staircase, and i was 13 when i built it and 14 when i finished it and now i am 19 refurnishing it. i really wanted to tell you guys this, and when i get finished with the refurnishing, i will take some pictures before it goes to the museum, and try and post them on here.
Thank you, Jonathan H
