:-)
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?
