What a beautiful model and I love all those brass fittings, very nice indeed. 
You could say it's a lot of money but when you consider what some paintings sell for (and some are rubbish if you ask me!) and how many man hours were involved in building such a fine model, I think it's a fair price?

Fantastic model  Intresting that the Daily Fail thinks her sister ship was sunk by the Nazis  “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Think they loosely mean the Germans, The sister ship of Mauretania (Lusitania) was torpedoed/sunk by a German U-Boat

What a great shame they sold it when it would (imho) been better to loan it to something like the science museum for display so that more people could then enjoy such a lovely model. Happy Modelling
