I found this old document... it seems that Explora has a sistership called Prospekta

Many thanks for the document!
By the way, Prospecta now has red colored hull and the name
Geo Prospector

Giuseppe, what do you think about quick (or not quick) convertion - it is much easier than designing new model. But those two ships have many differences and it will be still a hard work...

Interesting idea..., but for 2019 no more ships. It was very laborious to design the Explora, from the 3d model to the final graphic. I decided to design Explora for emotional reason: I participated on many cruises aboard this ship.
Now I need some rest

... with two or three automata

The result is really fantastic! Thanks again for it!
But I have another question. Do you know about any submergible used for researches on Explora?
