Excellent job with the Europa from Schreiber, Hanseat!

To answer the last question:
As with all Passat models, these railings are in 1/250 scale.
Kind regards, -

Absolutely brilliant work. If I could do one tenth as well I'd be happy. Please keep the photos coming.

Beautiful, beautiful passenger liner models, Hanseat!

I am utterly impressed with your RMS Olympic 1913 re-fit waterline project! All the little details, the rigging, the life boats & Welin davits, and all the wonderful hand rails, it is simply mindblowing.

Tell me, do you know if the Engelhardt collapsible boats from the era were used under the 'normal' wooden life boats as they were on the RMS Titanic,
but in much greater numbers?

Spectacular models -
thanks for sharing them in such fine photos!

All the best,
Bengt in Stockholm

there were two different types of collapsible lifeboats: the Berthon and the Engelhardt type. The Engelhardt type had raised canvas edges but a normal boat body. The Berthon is like a folded canoe, with rigid half-sides but canvas in the middle. To be frank: in both types I would not dare cross a millpond in June!

The Berthons are folded away and carried under the normal boats and davids

Hi Hanseat, this is an amazing fleet of greatly built and beautiful passenger ships, congratulations! I really like the way you detailed the TS ISRAEL of WHV.

"4) Kartonbau.de started a thread on SS Queen Elizabeth, but no information where and how available"

The construction is from Dirk Hoeppner. He also plans the construction of more passenger ships from the 1970s (ROYAL VIKING SKY, ADRIANA, MS CARLOFORTE). If you are interested, you can contact him by mail - hoeppner.ship(at)gmx.de

He consiously told no date for the publishing of RMS QUEEN ELIZABETH and following his latest comment it seems this will be not before 2019.
