White Star Models
Contracts will be provided after an agreement between modeler (Joseph and Peyton) and customer. Reach out for any concerns.
White Star Models is created by Joseph Thurman and Peyton Barber based on a dream to spread influence of the Titanic, and a commitment to provide the best (completed) models for our customers. It’s a very neat “Special Order” process where client provides kit and any additional upgrades they would like; and we will construct the model to top standard. As we build this business and gain our overhead, we can supply the kit and other material(s).

TORI FACTORY Co. 1/700 Engine Set : SNEAK PEAK
I’ve primed these and all I can say is, wow! Blown away by the details.. if I didn’t say something, the majority of you would have a hard time determining the scale based on these photos. The detail is incredible, novel, and a necessity for any Titanic collector. You will have one hell of a paint job on your hands so buckle up.
In a coming video, I will review the 1/200 scale items after a healthy coat of primer.

1/1000 scale. So tiny but the little details make it look so good for its size. Held it in my hand for reference. Some of the paint work is mine most of it was Joseph and he did a fantastic job. Just out of curiosity how much would you be willing to pay for a model like this? I’m thinking $75 USD but what does everyone think? Is that a fair price?

1/350 MINICRAFT / CHINA 3D PRINTS UPDATE
Material designed by Tyler Verdun
Printed by Mr. Shao of China 3D Prints
Built by Joseph Thurman
We’ve got a solid update on this build today and I apologize it’s been some time. We’ve managed to get to about 70% completion with bridge details, railings and stairs, rigging, lifeboats, and a hell of a lot of touchups to go. Not so bad! You will note some very fine details on this build, highlighting some of the features of the bridge we’re currently working on. I’ve placed a AAA Grade emerald, and ruby as port/starboard navigation lights. Very shiny detail if I might add! I’m currently experiencing some fitting issues around the bridge parts, however with a little elbow grease it should all work out fine. I am working alongside Tyler Verdun, who is fervently working to get these parts ready and up for sale. We’re pressing forward, and now will be featured on YouTube thanks to Gene Davis and his resources. A wonderful team to be apart of indeed. Enjoy the build!
Built this kit that came from Germany. It’s a simple 1 cylinder double action steam engine. There are accessories that can be purchased that have a dynamo attached to power all manner of things such as lights and power sources. Thought you guys would like to see. Hope you like it!

1/350 UPDATE / SNEAK PEEKS
Designed by: Tyler Verdun
Printed by: Mr. Shao of China 3D Prints
Exciting updates! Hull work is finally complete. I am working on glazing all the portholes with fiber optic cord and it’s working a charm. Moving towards the stern, you will notice a rudder that has never been used in the Titanic modeling community. Designed by Tyler Verdun, this new and updated rudder will complete any 1/350 model with accuracy shown in builders photographs, especially of Britannic. Verdun’s Photo-etch sheet for 1/350, which is soon to be complete, has added the final touches of details to the stern and rudder area shown off mainly in 1:200 scale. He has replaced doors and other hull details to give community everything a 1/350 Olympic Class liner needs. Once glazing is complete, the decks will be installed and boat deck work will be ready to commence.
Note that the majority of these photos are a dry fit. You may see some inaccuracies in placing of fairleads, vents, deck houses etc.
