A few ferries and an odd ball.
Silja Europa, Longstone, Stena Hollandica , Stena Britannica , Stena Transporter ,Stena Transit ,Barfleur and a Soviet hovercraft.
Europa is the Biggest ferry of Silja.
You can see haow big the Stena Hollandica is at 240m long dawfs the calmac ferry. Was going to repaint Barfleur in to Brittiany ferries livery but her truck line livery is growing on me.

Hi John,

You haven't been wasting time building your collection ether by the looks of things.
That was the Norsea. I'm now on the look out for Norland to complete the NSF collection.
I was hoping to start work on the Pride of Dover but Galerie Maritim keep increasing their order, now at six.

Hi Ali
German ebay has been a god send. The sellers who sell with paypal get better prices. I have found last 6 ships I have sent money in the post. Marialla went for to much ,she still evaids me.
Have not seen Norland but if I see one I will keep my eyes peeled and let you know. There is allways Kassel.
Are you going to be doing Norsea

Cracking collection there John.....
And Ali - I am really pleased that your work is being appreciated by a wider audience!!!

Talk of Norland reminds me that I will be sending some drawings to you soon mate for you to look over - I need you to vet them to ensure that I have things right before I send the frames and profile away for cutting. Should be starting the plug in the new year

. One thing - I need info on what is on the rear mooring deck. None of the drawings i have show anything and my photos are none to clear either....
Cheers
Carl

Some of these I have had for a far bit of time some are new.
P1 Stena sea lynx and the Stena Germananica.
P2/P3 Pride of Burgandy European Seaways. It is interesting to see the diffrence in height for what should be to idential ferrys One made by Carat and one by Sextant.
P4 Olau Hollandia
P5 Tom Sawyer , Nils Holgerson
P6 The compleat TT Line fleet. Nils Dacke ,Robin Hood , Nils Holgerson ,Tom Sawyer ,Peter Pan
P7 City of Cork , Saint Patrick II , Aurella of Viking line. These models were made by Risawoleska. I spoke to Burkhard of Risawoleska out getting the City of Cork Sawsea Cork ferries made and He added it to his range for me .So this might be the frist City of Cork made by Risawoleska.

Hi All

John

wartsilaone · « **Reply #258 on:** January 02, 2013, 02:49:56 pm »

I have to agree with you John. The original livery is my favourate too. I really need to add Finnjet to my collection.

Ali

Hi Ali
She was a bit f a ledegened. The model on the left is made by Hansa and is less detailed the the other 2 classic ship models. The Hansa go for about £30 to £40 . The Silja line livery go for about £80 to a £100. I have not seen the Finn Lines livery from classic ships on Ebay so could not tell you a rough price. The classic ship models are top on quilaty.

A few new ferries
Masker Anglia
Stena Carrier.

john

wartsilaone · « **Reply #261 on:** January 14, 2013, 04:26:57 pm »

I have my eye on a model coming up on ebay. I like Stena Carrier, I have seen one of these dressed up as Norsky. I could attempt to make one by converting a cast of my Pride of Flanders.
However by the time I have spent money on silicone and resin and done a load of work on it, I might as well wait until one turns up on ebay.

Hi Ali
Yer I saw her last year on ebay and there was naff all bid on her so I thought i would take a punt and won.I am looking in to white printers(not much joy) but I would like to add STENA LINE on her side.
If you want to borrow her to take a cheeky mold off her you are welcome.
There are a few boats on ebay at the moment that i have my eye on. I still after A pride of Flanders to re paint in to Townsend Thorsean livery.

John

wartsilaone · « **Reply #263 on:** January 15, 2013, 07:41:43 pm »

I could still take a mould of my 'Flanders'. A 'Nordic Ferry' version of this model would be tasty. If I do borrow Stena Carrier I will put some transfers on it for you.

Ali

cos918 · « **Reply #264 on:** January 15, 2013, 08:02:08 pm »

Sounds good Ali
Problem with taking a mould from Carat/classic ships models is removing all that detail with out damageing it.
john

wartsilaone · « **Reply #265 on:** January 15, 2013, 08:15:41 pm »

Yes indeed. I would mould as high up the hull as I can without the silicone overspilling then I would have to build the rest.

cos918 · « **Reply #266 on:** January 15, 2013, 08:18:47 pm »

That would work.
Do you have to spray the model with something to stop the silicon from sticking to the model

john

wartsilaone · « **Reply #267 on:** January 15, 2013, 08:48:39 pm »

No. The silicone comes away quite easily.

Ali

I have been following that thread since the beginning...

I know she isnt what we were used to, but to be honest I would rather see her in these colours than the colours being worn by the Pride of Dover at the moment!!!!

I am hoping to take a crossing on her in February when she starts - coming back with the Gardenia (former European Enterprise) before she is sent to the breakers...

Carl

cos918 · « **Reply #274 on:** January 20, 2013, 08:36:56 pm »

Hi Carl
I am glad she has been saved shame her sister was not saved.I think if TEF had put the red up to the belting line like on Oleander it would have looked so much better.
I have just won Free Enterprise II and the one i have been after for ages the St Columba in BR Sealink livery
