my relaxing little project

I enjoy models--yeah, that kind to--but right now I am talking about scale models.

Right now I am working on a model of the Titanic. Scale is 1/570, very delicate and very small compared to the actual size of the real thing.

Usually I do planes in 1/72 or 1/48 scale but this. Oh boy.

Wouldn't have bought it if my wife wasn't so crazy about the movie.

No crew at all, they would be about the size of fire ants anyway.

Maybe I could use fire ants as crew and passengers. Just shellac them and position them about. I could even put a couple at the bow with ones front legs spread out like in the movie, "Oh, I'm flying!"

My wife thought it was a bad idea.

Oh well. At least I'm having fun.

Sweet! Another modeller!

You should start your own build thread in the models section, or post a link to your build blog.

Because:

OK, maybe worthless is a little harsh, but...

PICS PLEASE!
