21st anual international cardmodel meeting in Bremerhaven / Germany

[OldTroll]

Thank you for posting these - beautiful models! What is the story on the giant ship model?

Hi Ron,

it´s a 1/50 scale model of the USS "Indianapolis" made out of cardboard. Probably world largest cardmodel.

Fritz is building on this ship for almost 4 years and this time it was the first RC run with only one propeller working. The other propellers will be working later, too.

He estimates another 4 years building time....

I will add some pictures this evening.

Sorry, it took a week to post the last of my pics, but there were lots of other things to do.

That´s all of my picking.

The ship in the floating drydock is a particularly impressive display. The Alb. W.4 is excellent also. That one is available in both print and from ecardmodels as one of Fitter's offerings.

Hi Ron,
The ship in the floating drydock is the SMS Derfflinger, scale 1:250, by HMV.
