I thought the iceberg had exploded 'sigh'.

The model is too dilapidated to be worth restoring. It would cost too much for any sane collector to rebuild it. Remember what was said at the beginning of the article -- this thing weighed 10 tons intact! That's 20,000 lbs. No way any dreamer can afford to have this model shipped home. Not that it's worth it. It's just too far gone and would be completely destroyed in most moving attempts. It has sat out in open air on a small island near a studio for over 30 years. It hasn't been fixed up or painted except for a film about Britannic over a decade ago. It's been rained on and exposed to salt water all those years.. It would probably snap into at least several large chunks if someone tried to move it now. You can see in the pictures that the funnels are almost all gone. Only one somewhat intact, and there are circular frame pieces and holders for the rest. The worst damage is the missing decks forward of the bridge and aft of the superstructure. All kinds of junk that's unpleasant to think about has accumulated there. The hull structure is so compromised that the sides will eventually fall out or flatten like an accordion. You guys are nuts!
