SD14 Cargo ship 1:70 - Marcle Models

Well, working overseas in Nigeria has landed me in an apartment where I have the space to build and display this big, big model. I have already gotten as far as finishing the midsection (2 out of 3 sections), but I'll do a fairly detailed story-so-far first.

And even big ships have to start small!

Constructing the bottom plates, in a similar way as the steel plates of the original would be arranged.

Fitting the double bottom floors. Had to do a little bit of cosmetic surgery, because I closed the keel gap between the forward floors...

More of the double bottom floors. Note the lightening holes in floor 133 and 134. These would be in all the floor in the original ship.

That's pretty remarkable. Just like a real ship is built.
