Mark,
You hit a jackpot. My wifes gonna kill me at ten bucks a crack.
I agree with you on the details, it's just a model, but some of this stuff is right there. There is a point somewhere that we're going to have to guess on some parts. but the Titanic never had any new advances added. It's layout and architecture lies "frozen" at the bottom of the ocean in a sea of rust and mangled ruin. We will never really know all, in fact I wonder if we will really know the true color schemes,but I want to make sure that some of the more obvious stuff is right and what the hell Roy doesn't have far to go in that reguard as far as I'm concerned anyway. My personal goal is that if Digital Domain can come up with a model that accurate (as far as I can tell) then by God I can do something pretty close. The resources are out there, they used them, I'll find them. I haven't gone beyond the point of no return on my model yet so I'm gonna hold out a little while longer. I can't wait to see this Anatomy of the Titanic book that is coming out.
