I note from the article that the replica Titanic is being built in China, famous for it's fake goods and blatant copies of famous global brands? Blink Blink Blink

Says it all really doesn't it, and with 'Made in China' being synonymous with poor quality and shoddy workmanship, I'd be a tad wary of going on any journey out to sea in it?! Laugh LOL Laugh LOL Laugh

Just thought, where would they stamp 'Made in China'? Along the keel maybe? Huh BigGrin

To me it seems to be in very poor taste when you consider some of the outstanding luxery liners already afloat.

Not sure i can understand why someone would wantvto build a replica of a ship that saw so many lose their lives.

Thatvsaid i wish anyone buying a ticket the very best if luck and a safe journey.
Happy Modelling
