TITANIC model
Titanic models might
appear good from afar but when examined closely, they are quite
different. When you look, pay
particular attention to accuracy. An
authentic model not only serves you well but also
becomes a valuable heirloom.
Our Titanic model stands grand and lively.
It doesn't look
'dead' like a shiny plastic toy or a boring
decorative accessory. When you compare models, focus on
little details that count: how the restaurants' windows look, the shape
of the lifeboats, the navigation system on the aft
bridge, and many more.

The
Royal Mail Ship Titanic was an unabashed celebration
of opulence and technological wizardry. On her
maiden voyage, she attracted an impressive roster of
internationally known names. Titanic's 329 first-class
passengers had an aggregate wealth exceeding $500
million! (an equivalent of about 13 billion
dollars in 2020.)
Perhaps the most amazing story was
from the mining magnate Benjamin Guggenheim, 46. The night of the
Titanic sinking, Guggenheim and his
secretary assisted women and children with getting
on the lifeboats, all while dressed in their finest.
The businessman later remarked, “we’ve dressed up in
our best and are prepared to go down like
gentlemen.” His final act was to write this message
to his wife:
"No woman shall be
left aboard this ship because Ben Guggenheim is a
coward."
Another
industrialist, the steel magnate
George Dennick Wick, 58, was seen waving to his
wife, daughter, cousin, and aunt as they getting
away on a lifeboat.
The
most notable couple onboard the Titanic
was
the Strauss.
The
67-year-old
Isidor
Straus refused to board the lifeboat
before the younger men and women had a place. His
wife Ida also refused to board the lifeboat,
preferring to die with her husband than to be
separated from him.
Isidor Strauss was a
co-owner of Macy's department store.
The richest passenger
onboard the Titanic was John Jacob Astor IV--a
member of the prominent Astor family and helped
build the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City. Astor,
47, and his young wife
were returning to the states for the birth of a new
child. He managed to get his wife aboard a lifeboat.
His wife survived while he was last seen clinging to
the side of a raft.
Interest in the Titanic story has never strayed far
from the public eye. In 1953, Twentieth Century Fox
released the movie Titanic. Walter Lord's famous
book A Night to Remember soon followed in 1955. The
book became so popular that in 1958 a movie was made
based upon it and starred the popular British actor
Kenneth More who played Second Officer Lightoller.
Other movies followed such as Raise the Titanic, a
movie based on the popular novel by Clive Cussler,
and S.O.S. Titanic in 1979. And then came the film
Titanic, which was directed by James Cameron. It won
numerous Film Awards and has become the biggest
grossing movie of all time.
After the Titanic‘s discovery in 1985 by
the research ship
Knorr, interest in the story was raised to new
levels and it appears that it will never die. The
story of the Titanic has become so entrenched in our
society that it has become a part of our culture.
She, and those she took with her, shall forever
remain in our imagination and hearts.

This primarily wood Titanic model features:
-
Plank-on-frame hull. This
construction method gives accurate hulls, as artisans create the frame of the
hull exactly like in drawings. The solid hull method, on the other hand, employs
most guesswork on the degree of curvature.
- Windows are cutouts
(not black decals or painted indentation) which are clean,
uniform, and aligned. We are not shy
to show the model in large photos. Nothing to hide!
-
Lighting feature is included.
A
ship is
not a Titanic without beautiful lighting.

Titanic was seen by news crews from all over the world and will be seen
by 100s of millions of viewers world-wide.
Also, someone at the

Many thanks,

"I
wanted to thank Frank for the greatest, extraordinary
model. It came today beautifully packed. Everything was
in flawless condition. I will send you a photograph of
it for you I'm sure you seen a thousand photographs of
these models but we're really excited it was a wonderful
day for us. It's on one of the big tables in the main
room in the library right now and I don't quite know how
to express my admiration and thanks for that model iIt's
quite remarkable. It has a great deal to do with our
club because five of our members perished on the Titanic
and we're going to have a special dinner on April 13
where the model will be brought into the big room in the
main room for dinner black tie and I'll try to reach you
sometime when we can talk and Frank thank you very much.
Bye now.
Frank
Arisman,
The Union Club www.theunionclub.com"
"Thank you, Frank for these wonderful
pictures...for making the time and care. I
deeply appreciate it. If added to the website,
they would likely boost sales of this particular
model. There isn't another on the market (that
I've seen) to compare with this!!!... Again, thank you! Lee H."
Titanic arrived yesterday. The ship is absolutely beautiful. I
will most certainly credit you folks in your artistry, creativity,
quality, etc. I would like some company brochures if possible..."
Thanks,
Curtis F." |
