This is our latest scale model of the GREAT TITANIC SHIP 1/166 SCALE. Measuring 5'6" in length. Beautifully built from wood, brass and white metal. We have designed and made all the fittings to scale. 3 Years have spent on the development of this prototype. We hope you enjoy looking at it as much as we have enjoyed making it.
