Passengers ships models
in order to continue the old thread http://captainsvoyage.7.forumer.com/...odels&start=96 and as promised, here are a few pictures of the refit of my Normandie model. Not over yet, but taking shape
http://picasaweb.google.fr/mpontecai...dieModelRefit#
That's really beautiful, what a great model! btw, it seems like you have some really nice ocean liner books too
The model of the Normandie is looking better and better each time...
I'm really impressed with the progress and I feel very confident, that once completed, it'll be something as beautiful as the original once were.
Keep us updated - I can't wait to see the final result.
Looks absolutely superb. How long is that and what is it made of?
Thanks for sharing.
Model ships, model ship building and model ship clubs.
Inspired by the awesome thread of the X-Bow ship model ( http://www.captainsvoyage-forum.com/...read.php?t=153 ), here is a thread to collect information and hopefully pictures of other projects.
Though the X-Bow model is absolutley outstanding and deserves it's own thread, there are also many clubs and other models afloat and on shelves around the world: maybe particularly in shipping offices.
One that is in my mind all the time, is the one of SS Norway which used to be in the Oslo NCL office in the 90's (today's location still unknown).
Here are two model ship club links:

Tromso: http://www.tmbk.no/
Feel free to add other clubs, other pictures and stories as you know them.

Here is a link to an e-bay seller selling 'rough' wooden models of many known modern cruise ships, including the Norwegian Sea, Norwegian Star and Queen Mary:

I am not really a model maker, more of a model collector, and basically only of liners and cruise ships. Here are a few of my models.
First is my collection of 1:1250 scale models
Some of the P&O's in the collection
RCCL's
Carnival Cruise Liners
I also have a collection of Richard Wagner wooden models from the 1960's
A few Cunarders in the Wagner collection
Here is a 1:250 scale model of Carnival Cruise Line's fantasy made by Maritime Replicas
And finally a case with different models of various scales.
Your collection is one of the most amazing and spectacular collections I have ever seen. They are such a delight to see and I can't imagine how many hours of wonderful care-taking you have spent on gathering and maintaining that collection.
Absolutely fabulous collection.

Thank you for the pictures of your collection. I find the line-up of RCCL ships most interesting. To me it really shows how cruising has changed over the years.
wow
I see that this EBay seller has added a model of the SS France for $199 US Dollars. If only I had a place store/display her.Originally Posted by pakarang

Well if you are interested in a France model but only have limited space, maybe you should consider a 1:1250 scale model of her. CM-KR makes a nice metal model of her, CM-KR 260, available for 70.00 Euros in Germany or $94.00 here in the States.
It is available here http://www.wiedling.de/ or here http://www.1250ships.com/test/produc...ducts_id=12437
There is also a model of the Norway, CM-KR 270, by the same company, which is 74.00 Euros, but shows her after the 1996 Rehab.

Now if money is less of an issue, but detail is paramount, Classic Ship Collection in Germany makes outstanding 1:1250 scale models in Waterline and Full Hull versions.
They are available here http://www.collectableships.com/mode...Collection.htm
Looking for Celebrity Mercury
I have a collection of every cruse ship that my wife and I have been on since our honeymoon in 1981 on the SS Norway (we also sailed her in 1991 on our 10th anniversary). I just found NCL’s Starward on e-bay but I need one to complete my collection. Celebrity Mercury. We did a crossing last spring on Celebrity Summit. And they have souvenir model ships in their gift shop. After the trip I contacted Celebrity about purchasing a similar model of the Celebrity Mercury and was told that they were only available on board for passengers to purchase. Does anyone have an idea where I can find one, I have searched everywhere.
I have this model myself and it is an outstanding model of the ship: i can vouch for this one!Now if money is less of an issue, but detail is paramount, Classic Ship Collection in Germany makes outstanding 1:1250 scale models in Waterline and Full Hull versions.

I have one, it was in great condition, until me son discovered it and started to play with it while I was away at work. Now the Main Fwd Mast is missing. All other pieces were found and super glued back to the model.
How can I find and/or have made a replica of the Fwd Mast... the ship looks terrible without it... Please help with some suggestions!!??!!
I also have the SS Norway (1980) and SS Norway (1990) shown above... I look at them everyday, sometimes hours at a time...

Celebrity Century
I just saw that Alexander Scherbak has posted the Century of Celebrity Cruises as one of his potential future models. I know that he fears there will not be enough demand for this model, which I have been requesting for quite some time. So if you are interested in this or any other models on his future list, please email him to get on the waiting list for the model, which also gets you a 10% discount when the model comes out. I really want this model to be made, as I have the Meridian, the Horizon, the Millennium and have the Solstice on order.
Thanks,
Thad

One of the latest additions to my model collection is this S.S America by RiWag or Wagner Modelbau. It was likely sold aboard the ship in the early 1960's. It is shown here with a RiWag model of the Lurline of Matson Line.
