CSCL Globe, largest container ship in the world. 1:320 scale

well that's what its designed to. I printed it at 90% of 4 to a sheet to so I my fleet of 1:700 models will compare nicely to this 1:700 build.

Not sure if this is the same one as I saw, but a few years back I saw it in the New York harbor and it was freakin huge. I'm guessing even in 1/250 scale it's pretty big.
I'll be watching this build. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I'll make it available shortly. at 1:330 the "print at 100% size" its some 40 pages and about 4ft long. the 1:700 version is some 22 inches long and the USS North Carolina battleship from WWII fits inside its cargo area no problem with lots to spare.

It definitely was not in NY harbor. It cannot come to any USA ports yet, (I believe there is one being built on the pacific coast, it might be close to finished) its too big and the crane assembly to load/unload is a whole other issue and requires specialized cranes.

Ok, I wasn't sure. I saw a huge container ship and someone told me it was the largest. Thanks for the heads up. So, 1/250 scale?? What would it be, like 15 feet long, LOL.

19,000 containers.... I don't know what I was thinking when I started this project...

[Richschindler]

For real???? 19k containers???. no way I'd build 19 thou containers. On the other hand, so far it's looking great.
