Thanks Adam. Interesting what's been said about the decks. Now you come to mention it the deck veneer running the length of the lower promenade (on the starboard side) is a bit wrinkly in places but, fortunately, doesn't show because it's enclosed. I think maybe I'd better varnish mine too as it's destined for the water.
I've just remembered I also had to straighten out the ladders that run up the front of the funnels, and some of those famous Welin davits.
I've been absolutely captivated by this model and have really admired the detail. I can't stop looking at it. Couldn't believe the accuracy of the deck benches. Heck, even the cast iron end frames have the correct design. There's no doubt about it, for a sad old (not so old, actually!) Titanic nut it's a delight. I always promised I'd build myself an R/C version of this liner one day but I'm not sure I need to now.
Have any of you chaps got any shots of her in the water? Would love to see them.
