The RMS Titanic was the first ocean liner I had ever built. It was inspired by the first search of the Titanic by Grimm in the early 80s. And, of course, the book "A Night to Remember" by Walter Lord. The ship was built from deckplans from Lord's book. There was no internet back then. So, if I could not find it in the local library, my ship was sunk. This ships was built with a 3 section skeleton. They would be jointed together for a total length of 10 feet.

Though there were many mistakes in the construction process, I learned a lot how to make a toothpick infrastructure, similar to how bridges are constructed. Ultimately, I would be able to make them bigger, better and more detailed.
