Hi All,
While I'm still new here, I'm amazed at the level of info you all provide! Great job!
Ok, so here's my question (actually, 3 questions): I am still looking for the Trumpeter 1:200 scale model. The least expensive I've found is on THG for $450 US (
This impressive, brand new kit from Trumpeter comes with our personal seal of approval! The team at THG reviewed and revised this model for Trumpeter themselves, helping to ensure historical authenticity. This kit is packaged by Trumpeter and does not include any additional THG content. We are act
). But they are sold out, so if anyone knows of a place to find one (I'll make it easier: I
won't pay $600, $700 for a model) it would be greatly appreciated.
Second: Once I get the model, I'll be using several books as guides, two of them being "Ken Marschall's Art of Titanic" and "Titanic: An Illustrated History". Both of these books are extraordinary!
Ok, third question: In many of Marschall's beautiful paintings, he shows rust in several places on the white superstructure. Do any of you believe that "she" would have had visible rust as depicted being brand new? It would be like a Debutante at her "coming out" party in a beautiful yellow pastel Dior gown with a ketchup stain down the bodice.
Thanks to all!
Bob
