Hey all,
A while back I posted a thread wanting to find companies that made N scale ships, preferably container ships. These were way out of my price league since they are so expensive and I would have to order them direct. So my only alternative was to begin the scratchbuilding process. My container ship is built from a 2 x 4, and cardstock so far. I have pictures of the project in various stages until this point but am unsure how to post pics of it. The overall model measures a scale 336 feet long, 56 feet wide, and 76 feet high (minus the stack and towers). It holds 100 containers nicely with 208 feet of usable container deck. All details come from a variety of sources including 1/32 model car kits, 1/64 race car details, an N scale bridge and whatever else I can incorporate from my parts box. Hope to post pics of this project soon.
