    Hey all, I recently completed this scratchbuilt 1:144 scale cruise ship model of the Oceanic (1963). I documented the build and have edited it into several videos on the design and construction and figured some here may be interested in seeing how it is done. Hope you like the pictures and videos!

    Impressive detail. How long did it take to build it?

    About a year and 2 months start to finish. I would have been done sooner, but had trouble getting some parts during the pandemic.

    This is beyond incredible !!!!! I absolutely loved that ship. Cruised on her over a dozen times. She had fabulous classic lines, and a good bit of speed when needed too!!!
