The Model

If anyone here lives in Malta I'd greatly appreciate any further info on the stat of the model used. I know from 4 years ago that she was on wooden blocks in the yard (yes outside unfortunatly)in the movie lot of the company that was used for the underwater scenes.

I have tried emailing the company and phoning them with no luck as regards to buying this model (yes I know how big it is).

If anyone has any info they can pass on it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Who cares what I think...

I don't it is actually worth buying now.

The model was left to the elements since the film was made and is now all but rotten and most of the smoke stacks and top decks have now collapsed, it seems (despite spending $3 million on it) no-one cared enough to preserve it like they did with the SS Poseidon model from the poseidon adventure and beyond the poseidon adventure.

Like the big titanic now, if you tried to move the model it may just disintergrate.
