p.s. do i earn a copy to build for my idea??

absolutely. when I enlarged the kit, some significant errors showed up that when I built it at the 25cm size didn't surface. I'll be posting the kit shortly.

no numbers. several asked if it was for sale but I said no and the issue was never pushed.

these folks were not interested in making the model. having the model is another story. I actually got the Captain to sign my build.

oh well that is their loss.i would certainly be interested in a model of any ship i had been on as a momento even if i had to build it from a kit

Very nice work indeed. Funny thing, I'm going on a cruise next week on Carnival cruise lines. Too bad there's no models of there ships for me to build while onboard.

bring any model. you'll get lots of attention. Last year I built the snowy owl from cannon on the ship, and the cinderella carousel in 4 acts on another cruise. I just told one of my 20 something co-workers and he said it an amazing trick. He went to the bar last night and started doing origami on the bar, and ended up getting 4 phone numbers. Oh to be 20something again...
