I already have a 1/400th scale Academy Titanic that i build in High School on the page. Since then, I have worked for 464 days or 1 year 2 months and 7 days on this model. My wife got it for me on my birthday (July 4th) and i started it on the 11th. I finished the model on 10/18/05 at 10pm. It has taken a lot of hard work and a lot of long nights and it blows the other model i completed out of the water.
