Hi Ian, I built one for a friend about 4 years ago, nice model and dead easy to build, from memory the hardest part was painting the containers different colours, the slot and tab construction made it very easy to align everything.

thanx mermod ... you got any pics of your build ????

Unfortunately I took them on a mobile phone that later died on me, sad because I also lost a few photos of my boys fist time in the workshop and a tour I did of an old 45ft tug

Hi Ian

No builds found but a model is on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFXocHdj2ig
There is an internal bridge shot in here that might help later http://www.bluestarline.org/act/act5.html 
She was broken up in 2003 this says http://www.cargo-vessels-international.at/SYDNEY_STAR_IMO7123382.pdf I had thought she might still be around under another name
