There was a copy of Futility in Titanic's library when she sank... wonder if it was a 'bad juju' kind of thing! Very nice job on the model! I've wanted to use this kit to build the Olympic as a hospital ship, and the ill-fated third sister, Britannic (which was originally to be named 'Gigantic'.) Another fun Titanic fact- most of the newsreel footage you have seen of the 'Titanic' is actually the Olympic. If you look closely, they blured out the names of the tugboats seen assisting it from its slip.

Love it! XJ 220 is one of my favorite designs.

What Craig said, or look into one of the frames Replicas and Miniatures Co. of Maryland sells.

Starting on a '52 now. Yep, '52. I won't say how I got the '52 grille and wheels just yet, but obviously I have them.

From what I've heard, the tooling for the Revival kits is long gone.

Wouldn't that make Chysler an American Fiat?

A bit unrelated, but someone did mention antique shops. I got my Renwal '66 Packard revival kit at an antique store.

Where's the gas cap?

James- once you set up an account with a photo hosting site, theres a pretty good tutorial on how to post pics here- http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12248

And this one...

Oh- I did forget this one!

Only reason I knew that was because I'd been using the flat brown and had the jar right next to me at the work bench. Had to check the Tamiya paint chart to see what gunmetal was.

I did on the first one.

That's molded to the glass- all you have to do is paint it black! Same deal on the rear window, but that wasn't an issue here.

Probably. But hey- my high school team was the Ithaca Yellowjackets, and as of yesterday, they're two-time state champs in football after the Ford Field game.

About all I did on those was strip the factory chrome, prime them black, then hit them with a thin coat of Model Master German Silver, capped off with a dull clear.

Wow... now I might have to try that Model A/'50 Effie thing....

First thing I thought of when I read the OP. Not much into boat models, but a very cool article, and resulting model.

I like my idea for a 2012 Scout better! No pics, because it's still nowhere near started.

His second ban passed a loooooooooong time ago, he was around for a few months after, then kind of vanished. He's been back lately, though.

Haven't been to one in AGES. Last time I was at one though, I did pick up an original AMT '25 T double kit (missing all but the stock truck building parts) and a complete, original Revell Orange Crate.

Keep wondering how it would look if you shot a pearl clearcoat over the white on the roof...

Pretty sweet! What are those wheels from?

Sweet! How well did the TC interior tub fit? I've only test-fit one into my Lincoln body, but it seems like it's way too big. (Probably obvious, given one is 1:25 scale and the other is 24)
