Cruise Ships

Going the other way, Carnival Cuises are building the largest cruise ship ever and she is due out this year. She will be named 'Mardi Gras' and amongst other innovations is to be powered by liquefied natural gas. Many other innovative features in design and amenities, she will be the first cruise ship to boast a rollercoaster. Cheers, Nerys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mardi_Gras_(2020_ship) (😉😎)

Sailing cruisers

Billings do a kit of a Colin Archer type gaff ketch and in the blurb for the kit mention rudder and propellor, so they obviously expect her to be motored as well as sailed. I have seen one or two auxiliary yachts but my guess is that they were scratch built and I am currently building an auxiliary model Thames Barge, which I suppose counts roughly as a yacht. Cheers, Nerys

Replica of the Titanic

They are popping up all over the place, evidently there's another Titanic replica being built in China, but this one is destined to be permanently moored in Sichuan, presumably as a hotel. Nerys

Boat Harbour

Next on the building board.

I started Fly two years ago. My hobby was (and is) a godsend during lockdown. There was nothing above deck level until the first lockdown. My daily routine was basically looking at the plans to find what bit to do "today". One day last December, I couldn't find a daily task. I made another coffee and checked the drawings again. When I still couldn't find a bit to do, I realised that it was finished! Just a tad over two years.

HMS Peregrine

I hadn't built a boat for some years, having been distracted by aerobatic fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. Static sailing ship models keep you busy for years for comparatively small outlay, so ideal retirement projects. HMS Peregrine was my re-intro model.
