- October 7th, 2022, 3:00 pm#4973184161. Screen-matched Titanic Model Miniature GHOSTBUSTERS II (1989)
A screen-matched model miniature of the R.M.S. Titanic from Ivan Reitman's supernatural comedy sequel Ghostbusters II. The Titanic and its ghostly passengers appeared at the New York docks after the evil slime under the streets of the city began to cause widespread chaos. The model matches the one seen on screen, identified by the holes and markings toward the front.
Built for the production by the artists at Industrial Light & Magic, the miniature is of the bow section of the ship and is predominantly resin sheet mounted over a wooden frame, with carved biscuit foam inside for shape and stability. The ship is intentionally distressed to look like it has been at the bottom of the Atlantic for decades, with a large gaping hole on the right side.
There are a couple of small lights and some clear perspex rods on the deck through which light would have emanated, giving a ghostly glow, although these are no longer functional.
The ship has some wear from age and use, and several of the resin panels and railings are no longer present on the sides of the ship. Dimensions: 155 cm x 53 cm x 140 cm (61" x 20 3/4" x 55")
Special shipping required; see special shipping notice in the Buyer's Guide.
Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide.
Estimate: £8,000 - £12,000
(Note: the photos of the Titanic miniature are identical to those of the 2014 listing.
