: Ron, are you saying they made the tour from photos of the Titanic for the movie? Fox still has to explain the strange things I've seen in it though.

Yes they did, for example, go into the gym and turn left , turn around and look at the wall of the gym that you would of seen if you turned right, it's a cut and paste
wall, because in reality that was the "forth" wall of the film set and never existed. Same for other rooms, that I am confused about, anyway I still think
it's a great job and very accurate to a certain point, but you must remember
that the researchers who worked for TITANIC got their info from the same sources as everybody else. Their problem was to convey the feeling while
sometimes having to give up accuracy. I still think the tour is great for
research but if I were to build a model I would research these listings, all the various books, and the tour remembering where it's downfalls are. I believe they
used that process(the name escapes me) to shoot those pictures for the tour,
and then did their fixups later. Ron H.
