Valentina , a general cargo ship at 1/100 scale.
« on: November 11, 2025, 09:35:52 pm »

Hello,


About 10 years ago, for once , I've bought a hull and a plan of a general cargo ship : OPDR CASABLANCA.
But, when, I unboxed the parcel, I felt like a kid who did not receive the present he wanted. I could not open the plan's folder , and hull was a poor quality.
So I left everything in the attic for a very long time.
But, few weeks ago, i've found a photo of its sister ship:Valentina.
So, a project was born : "How to transform a poor hull without a plan to a R/C general cargo ship ?"
Valentina is  :100.5m*16.2m*6.4 m

Hello,


The rudder is completed and ready to be positioned. But before, I'll have to spend time to correct the stern.

Hello,




There was no major problem to install a graupner bow thruster. It shoulb be helpfull when ballast is totally full. I've a project to make a ballast system in order to avoid adding to much lead. On the sond photo, you 'll be able to see the beginning of the front part.
