Belated kudos on a superb and evocative model, Lars. The sepia photos are wonderful.
I received much pleasure from looking at the photos and from your background information. The 1930s were a troubled time, but the maritime, railway, automotive, and aviation technology were all exciting and (to my eye) very pleasing to look at. Don

@Ted: Thank you so much. When building older ships, i often use the sepia pics to get some "old-fashioned" feeling into it. With the digi-cams nowadays, it's really simple using the "Best shot" function.
@Glen: Glad you like it  @Carlos: Thank you, well, i didn't get a request from a museum yet So i'm rather content with the diorama in my glass cabinet. @Jerry: Thanks, to display the "Titanic" along with some tugs is a great idea. This gigantic ship compared to a small tug would look very good. I remember a scene from the motion picture, where the ship rushes past a small sailing vessel. The sheer impression of size was stunning. The tug from my diorama is no longer available. It was a 10th-year-anniversary production from HMV. The publisher reprinted it, but he changed some parts. Instead of the tug, another barge is now included in the kit. There are some other tugs available but i think, they don't fit the timeline of your "Titanic". But keep looking, i'd like to see your "Titanic" embedded in a dio! @Don: I know these old times only from some films and a few photos. But i got a lot of input for the diorama from my friends in the german forum. Otherwise, it wouldn't be what it is now. Also, the WWW is a huge database where you can get many hints, tips and insights for this kind of diorama. Thank you for your compliment!

I really loved your idea of the tour with separate postings.
It makes it a lot easier to follow. I'd like to see build posts done this way. Surely you will have offers to display it in a museum. If this is the case may I suggest you have it displayed with provisions for an audio tour. Bob

@Bob: Thank you, I'd like that, too.
Eh, provisions... now where is my translator for the audio file?... :D @Jerry: At 1:250 scale, the length of my tug is round about 7cm. Maybe you can scale your tug to your desired size? If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to send me a PM. Kind regards Lars
