Petrojarl Cidade de Rio das Ostras

[Sojourner]

Right, just starting a new build.
This model appeals to me as somewhat different from the norm, with lots of intricate detail.
The ship itself is a, " Floating production, Storage and Offloading Vessel", moored
off the southern coast of Brazil, and operated by a joint Norwegian/Brazilian company. At 197m overall length, and a scale of 1:400, the finished model should be about 490mm long.

Hi Sojourner,

Nice ship you have there. Looking forward to your build.

Ciao Andrew

I have this one and will watch your build with interest. One question: Are you going to be using the laser cut parts available for it?

I'm not using the laser cut set - will try to make it all from the basic kit, though that looks like some very delicate cutting......
Have you completed your's??

Nope. Not worked up enough for all the pipe fabrication. But I do have the laser set to cut back on some of the pain.

Hello, I hadn't noticed this log yet.
I've been working on and off this model for the past year or so. So, I'll be keeping and eye out here :D

Make sure you measure op the hull against your deck very well, in my kit I had to shorten it (the hull, not the deck) by about 3mm.

Thanks for the heads up on that, I will check it out. I haven't actually started the model yet - other stuff intervening - but with the current snowy weather here, I'm banged up indoors, so a good time to get going on it.

I have this model too but haven't started it yet, I will be following this thread also.
