Not for Zak he would even get the damage to the hammer head in his model - its only 1/700 and you know his skills but what would the engineer look like  :-\  :-\  :-\

Perhaps he could rewrite history, and Titanic didn't sink and was saved by the engineers!!
Though how he could model 10lb lump hammers in such a small scale might be a challenge too far........!

Sorry, I picked this up on eBay for £5 + postage, couldn't resist, doesn't fit the Falklands theme really.
This is the Revell 1:700 RMS Titanic, full hull, so the first job will be to waterline it.
The ships is a monster, approx. 38cm even in this scale.
The photos show before and after.

Hi All,
Moved a bit further with my Ju52. I have reduced the benches on the fuselage sides and have now added some radio boxes to the fuselage bulkhead. I have also lined the gunners position, and given him a floor from the cabin to his position.
Some cabling added inside fuselage just to busy things up when viewing from open door.
A bit of a chore with the engine exhausts for the centre engine. As can be seen one has been tackled, thinning the pipework and opening up the end of exhaust. I used a small drill to open the exhaust, going in vertically, then gradually using a more horizontal approach to create the opening.
In the cockpit I have made two control columns, and added some representation of cabling runs and instrument boxes, which will be picked out during painting of the interior.
Some pictures of the above, thanks for looking

I remember the old Airfix Seasprite, but this one looks really detailed.
Watching with interest.
