    ;) Hi to all model makers.
    On this poignant day I have taken a notion to build a model of the Titanic. I'm reasonably competent in woodwork but havn't built a model for a long time.
    Could anyone suggest a good scale model kit to build. ? Size is not too important, even up to a meter or so but I'd like authentic detail and that it be to scale.

    cheers.

    Thanks.
    would prefer a wooden model, something that I can display with some pride.
    There are hundreds of Titanic models out there. What companies are considered the 'Rolls Royce' of kits. ??
