Thise boulders look very convincing. Did they really use white-painted ones on the fore deck?

Last of the attractive cruise/liners. Todays ships are simply ugly.

I checked it on photos, good to have first-hand evidence!

I only used PVA glue on the bollards, but did paint them.

Paper Fan: I much like the look of QE2, but I get your point!

Here are the lifeboats. I've slightly amended the build method.

Hello Marco

it is so rewarding to see someone building this model (haven being visiting forum for a while).
Hope you had not much problems with it, it isn't perfect...
Still you built her very nicely!

Thank you

Sharunas,

I think everyone would agree you have done a brilliant job in designing this beauty! No better builder than Marco to do it justice!

We all really appreciate your time and effort into designing the model and Marcos build log is superb as well - I am also building one though slower than Marco and am glad he can be approached for advice as I reach those stages!

Great to see you back in the forum Sharunas.

Regards,
Alan

The life boats placed in "Willem Ruys" style look fantastic. All 22 of them.

Hello all,
If you're interested in the Falklands War which the Canberra is inextricably linked with this may be of interest:
Abandon Ship - Osprey Publishing
Nope - I have noo connection to author or publisher. I am curious about Atlantic Conveyor and Sheffield since I have these in 1:250 in my stash.
Regards,
Alan

Good to hear from you, Sharunas! I'm enjoying building this.

And now for the detailing with the windscreens on the sundeck. A lot of cutting work, but well worth the effort.
