I count at least 12 mistakes here...[ATTACH]76056[/ATTACH]aft - fwd 1. rudder is missing. 2. lines of rigging missing. 3. aft mast is not canted correctly, and has an addition at the top for no reason. 4. more missing rigging. 5. boat 12 is missing. 6. all the starboard side forward lifeboats appear to be missing 7. lengths of railing missing. (p/s on the compass platform). 8. lifeboat 8 missing. 9. foremast not canted at correct angle. 10. more missing rigging. 11. both p/s forecastle deck railings missing 12. decal for the name in wrong spot.

Even the box pictures show an incomplete model if you look closely enough (on mine they do...)

That is just diabolical! I mean at least but a finished model on the chuffing instruction leaflet or what is the point? Unbelievable...truly...lost for words!

I see you did what I did to the benches. Namely, paint them a wood-brown but paint the ends in black, to represent the wrought iron. I also topped my capstains in gold (to simulate brass) and rimmed my upper deck windows and all passenger area handrails in brown. I also painted the hull in a semi-gloss black, to make it shine a little bit like a new paint job. I also ended up using like 4 coats of flat white paint for all the main superstructure. My funnels are in the wrong shade, as are my masts (the book says 'yellow masts') but overall I am pleased enough with my first attempt.

My mother had done one for herself about 20-30 years ago now, but it looks really, really bad, and I think I did mine to upstage her. (she calls herself a Titanic buff so i really could not leave that unchallenged).
