Re: RMS Titanic Lifeboat Scale Model
I looked for your lifeboat kit Levent on ebay, didn't find it there but it's available in the UK only it's on backorder. I would love to build it, only I'm unsure about doing the detail justice with my shaky fingers.
I did find a built kit on ebay and an interesting article about it.

Re: RMS Titanic Lifeboat Scale Model
You don't appreciate the craftsmanship required to complete one of these Ship building kits, until you try one, or watch someones "build Log". There are a whole bunch of new and fun tools to learn to work with on beveling and bending the planking, Nothing like building a profile 1/2a model! While we worry about wrinkles in the wing covering, it's nothing compared to making realistic rope coils and tiny brass fittings. amazing work.

Re: RMS Titanic Lifeboat Scale Model
Clinker type planking is difficult, soaking and bending planking sticks take time. Also this kit has problems, like as several laser cut formers had been cut wrong. My log here:
