modelman Posted May 5, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I collect waterline models of cruise ships and ocean liners in the 1:1250 scale. I thought you all might be interested in seeing my collection of Carnival ships. I have a collection that ranges from the old Carnivale and Mardi Gras, up to the new Destiny class.

modelman Posted May 5, 2010 Author #17 Share Posted May 5, 2010 No, most are pre-finished. There are numerous manufacturers in Germany, the UK and the States that make them. http://www.collectableships.com/models/Albatros.htm http://www.wiedling.de/cgi-bin/webshop.pl?t=temgroup&f=HERSTELLER&start=1&dif=50&c=CM-KR+-+Serie http://www.1250ships.com/test/index.php?cPath=1_9_123 http://scherbakshipmodels.tripod.com/id106.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
