Scale Models / Re: Calling all Ocean Liner fans!

Yes, the topic of ocean liners has always been of interest to me. I have built models of the Andrea Doria and Conte Di Savoia, both in 1:200 scale. (I am Italian) Ocean liners are the most elegant things mankind has put upon the sea and I would not like it if even their memory was wiped out

Ahoy, CaptDag,

There is an excellent book entitled MINIATURE MERCHANT SHIPS by John Bowen, published by Conway in Britain in 1997. There are about 30 plans in 1:1200.

Cheers,

Pietro.

Hello CaptDag,

Have you never heard of scratchbuilding? You just get authentic plans, lots of photos(preferrably colour) for reference, a good how do book and go. Museum pieces don't come out of a box.
But seriously, waiting for a company to produce a kit based on sales is a little like Alexander Selkirk awaiting a rescue...could be a log, long, time.
