Thanks guys.
Special thanks to Iceman who 3-d printed out the lifeboats for me. Saved me a whole lot of scratchbuilding.

The Rotterdam is finally finished. Here are a few pics.
The best way to see them is to "open link in a new tab"

Yes, I print my own. In all there are well over 200 decals on the model. I've added quite a few more since that photo was taken.

A much more classic ship than the new "Cruise Ships". Yesterday in Whittier Alaska saw the "Royal Princess" which would appear to have 1000 repetitive balconies to replicate. I've always wondered about the stability of these ships with so much top hamper. Very nice effort!

Patricks's models are scratchbuilds, no kit parts used. The only ' kit's' available of Rotterdam are 1/1250 metal castings.


That is most impressive.

I have found that YESTR Toys will make a Rotterdam V, among their liner models.

What was your source for this kit? I wish to build one for my lovely wife, who sailed on her.

Thank you.

Have started work on a 1:600 SS Rotterdam. I saw her from a distance when I was in Rotterdam last year. She's a good looking liner and will make an interesting addition to my liner fleet.
