Funny that you said that, "Jules Verne" look, was what got my attention and yes the lines are unique. Go back and look @ the 1st photo on the 2nd postiong, this Bad Girl is moving, check out the spray from the bow and @ mid ship. Another one I am honored to have watching, thanks for checking in.

In my research of this wonderful as has been put, Jules Verne looking monster.......I discovered that Modelik did not, I believe do their home work before going to the printing press, however, I will build as comes in the booklet.
I will let you decide if I am correct.
Look close @ the following photos and see if you notice anyhting differant.
By the way, these are some of the best photos I was able to find.

And here is another picture that got my attention, this shows how the design of the Dupuy de Lome was carried over into other classes of vessels.
