Hi guys, thanks to Chris putting me onto the great Fine Scale forum I am modelling the ship out of 1 mm cardboard sheeting be a static model on my new HO scale garden railway at the planning stage, have moved to a new address,was able to bing my layout as well, that be a different post .

The ship is a Swedish owned and a Chinese design I fell in love with the design and had to model it,,with the help of the first owners DFDC , they helped me get the the DWG ship plans and I was under a few years back.

The ship is in 4 sections , she is just over 7 feet in length and 305 mm beam, the cardboard sheeting work out nicely, I have finished the bow section but thinking of rebuilding now happy with the finish and the second section built, am working on the stern section I think even harder build especially to do with stern door hydraulic arms, so any ideas be great, would love to have working rams be awesome, help needed there.

After this post I will be posting pics of the ship under construction , and yes plan to build a second R/C version , she is a stunning ship indeed, something different , has 4 decks with ramps on each deck, I too will be adding led lighting especially the main mast has those navigation lights in different colours, need help there as well.

Can't wait to get started.

HI Martin, where will your layout be , I think I am the only Australian modelling HO scale in garden railway, a couple of days back the layout nearly got scrapped, I said no to my wife, put too much effort into the layout and sadly having to shift stopped the construction work getting aback into it.

Not tomorrow going to be a wet Sunday Monday is a better day, working on my bridge, long span indeed, hope to screw the the top arch in place and drill a few holes for the arch hangers to support the bridge deck.

I do own one ) scale loco , it is 61 years old and still works a Hornby clock work loco, I plan to buy new set track for it to run on the patio .
