How about The Olympic, had a lengthy career and was the Sister ship to the Titanic and apart from a few details was a carbon copy, although as she was built before the Titanic she is infact the Original.. Titanic was the Copy..

Or one of the colourful Baltic ferries or one of the Moby Line. Very colourful paint jobs and impressive in size too.

The Cunard Aquitania of 1914 might suit your requirements and, an almost full set of drawings are available.

So thats what happened to the people who used to paint the BA planes wacky colours :}
With a name like Moby would have been interesting to see it painted in the colurs of its Names sake..

...have you seen the debates on what is the "correct" funnel colour on these classic liners %% ? Easier to do the Moby scheme {-)

How about the Cunard ship "Mauritania".

Is that a jigsaw puzzle of Mauritania?
I used to spend hours as a child putting a wooden one together. I eventually got quite quick at it! :embarrassed:

How about a more elegant vessel of an earlier age "Empress of India", :D

Good Morning respected Friends..the modern white craft is listed in my modern liners..its surely a mouth watering one..awesome..and from your answers, i am too inspired and going to make three of them one by one..as my collection lacks the ocean liners..so, will make a sketch for three, and start the works..soooo happy...and inspired..looking for a nice scale for these..a million thanks for the valuable guidances..to you all..have a nice time..

I have to say I'm not a fan of cruise ships (especially modern 1's, to me they look like tower blocks that have fallen over into the sea) but that is a very very nice looking ship! almost tempted to save it to build at a later date.
