Since 2004, CWSL has been adding to our collection of ocean liner models
to its exhibit. Currently we have nine kit models, two construction paper models, two wood models, and
a lego Titanic model which was originally constructed in 2003 as the Andrea Doria. In addition
to photos of these liners on here, we are a member of the Titanic Research and Modeling Association. Here you may
view the works of art done by people all over the country. You can access the finished replica forum of this sight through:

The models shown below are scratch-built out of construction paper
and other simple items found around the house. The only options to obtain models of these liners is to pay a small
fortune or to scratch-build them. This became the choice of building materials over wood since construction paper is
something easily workable for the level of detail. As the models built by CWSL became larger, wood was used for the RMS
Republic and the Wilhelm Gustloff.
