I talked with Robert Haas of Titanic International (PO Box 7007, Freehold, NJ 07728) who informed me that there is an abundance of copies of the Everett book on the market. The number of Titanic collectors is small and fixed. While I am certain the current media hype surrounding "Titanic" will cause a wealth of Titanic collectibles to surface, I do not expect them to find a receptive buying public. The re-release of the Star Wars trilogy certainly had a positive impact on Star Wars collectibles.

" When first retailed, "a history card is attached to the bottom of each Austin sculpture. The sculpture is then waxed and buffed, its base and/ or felt affixed, and its history card applied. Each patina is applied by hand by skilled artisans and must conform to the standards of the original. It is then cleaned and placed in a heated chamber for up to 48 hours, which brings it to optimum hardness and readies it for its finish or patina."Īustin uses "more than 70 different finishes and patinas in the Austin Sculpture Collection, numerous bronze and stone finishes as well as wood, terra-cotta and specialty multi-color finishes. The shell is removed, the rubber mold peeled off, leaving a sculpture reproduction with all the detail and texture of the original. The mold then sits undisturbed for over an hour before it can be demolded. When filled, the caster then jostles the mold gently to let trapped air escape. He then mixes the DURASTONE - a special formulation of crushed stone - into a slurry which is then poured slowly into the mold. The casting procedure used by Austin Sculpture is: "The caster puts steel armatures, or supports, into the mold. Your statue is made of Durastone, not plaster.
