Terry,

Are you sure!  The size of your Titanic alone staggers the mind in parts counts.

That's Terry C. Terry Cruse. HE has a lot of parts. But Conan has more,
I am convinced. We think he has around 2.3 Million elements or more in
his collection. We (the GMLTC) believe it to be the largest privately
held collection extant, other than KKK and his family.

:-)
easy mistake.
Terry C's Titanic is a great model alright.  What was it? 18000 parts or so?

2.3 million?      ACK!    I have a hard time keeping my measly collection
sorted.  Hell, I have a lot of unopened boxes just because I have nowhere to
put the pieces.  Conan is an apt name.  :-)

Who was that famous person (an author, maybe?) who had the large collection?
I remember a thread about it on RTL, but can't remember his name.   Lives
(lived?) in New York?
