S.S. "Ivernia" 1:400

[Krzychu74]

Hello!
Royaloakmin: my pleasure.
Time to new update. I added texture on the decks and the following diagrams for instructions and changed the name of the home port (because as it turned out in 1899. Cunard`s head office was Liverpool, not Southampton).

Best regards.

Hi Krzychu74.
Seems you're going to something bigger than an aircraft. Looking forward to see this one.

Krzychu, I hope you find some reference material for the Carpathia. One of my great grandfathers immigrated here on that ship....after trading his tickets with a friend of his who needed a faster passage. His tickets were originally for the Titanic....

Hello!
Thank you very much for your kind words Friends.
Darwin: your story is really very interesting. I`m curious whether friend of your great grandfather survived Titanic disaster or...
About Carpathia: now, I not found any good drawings (even somethik like this one from whih I make Ivernia). As I wrote earlier I`d like design Carpathia, Californian and I think about Empress of Ireland. Maybe I will find some drawings.

Ok, main decks and main quarterdeck are ready. I started second sheet of instruction.

Best regards.

This looks to be another winner for you. Just another inspiration to show
your considerable design skills. It is good to see someone stretch themselves
into new areas, as everything different requires a new ability that will only make
them better in all areas.

Very nice progress my friend!

Quite impressive, my friend, and I loving how this vessel is developing!

I was wondering how you found information to enable you to draw up the hull shape; I am considering a model of the HMT RHONA, but can find nothing showing the vessel's hull shape, save for a scarce few photos.

I sure hope this is just the beginning of a number of ship models you will undertake, particularly merchant ships!

Will this model be available for purchase on, for instance, eCardmodels, when done?

Cheers!

Now the Empress of Ireland would be interesting, if drawings were available. The new sheets look good.

I'd love to see any of the passenger ships portrayed in paper, but the HMT ROHNA has a personal connection; my wife's Uncle was one of the few surviving soldiers aboard when she went down after being hit by the then relatively unknown guided missiles used by the Luftwaffe when they attacked the convoy while it was heading to the Far East via the Suez Canal. One of the early uses of the Hs293 radio controlled glide bomb, the truth of what happened in that attack remained a top secret throughout the war, and was not fully revealed until 1967 under the Freedom of Information Act.

Cheers!

Hello!
Time for next update.
I unrolled all the main superstructures. The funnel and skylights are also ready. I finished the second sheet of instructions and started the third.

Best regards.
