JSC Bredford Dolphin drilling platform 1:250 limited edition
Not really a ship, but watercraft nevertheless...
Last year I got my hands on one of the very-limited-edition 1:250 scale models of JSC's Bredford Dolphin semi-submersible drilling platform, including lasercut detail set. The normal edition is in 1:400 scale. Technical specifications of the original are at: Fred.Olsen Energy ASA - English - Bredford Dolphin. Although the rig was originally built in 1976, it had a major overhaul in 2007, and the folks at JSC have designed the model design according to it's upgraded state. The rig is currently drilling offshore Norway.

Cool Marko. With your craftsmanship, this will be a fun one to watch take shape. I've seen this kit done once before. It's very detailed and an interesting subject.
Best of luck!

Let's get this thing started! The model is laserprinted on fairly heavy paper (about 200 grams by the feel of it) on A3 size. Here is the base of the platform, and the central support legs:

Since my preference is detailed modeling regardless of subject, I look forward to your build

Great work Marco. You're off and rolling now. No pun intended.
Looks like you have a good base to build from now.

A gentle bit of very closely spaced scoring on the back of the paper before rolling always does miracles for me - though it is rather time consuming.
And here is the support structure below the main deck. Touching up the colours is quite necessary here.
