That's looking lovely, how have you constructed the hull?
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

I cut out the plan at the waterline and a profile that I use as the spine. Then I add cross sections and plate the skeleton. Here are some pics of the SS Independence build.

Re: 1:600 Conte di Savoia
Cheers for sharing how you did the hull, that's not dissimilar to a couple of card models I built.
What made you pick 1:600 as a scale?

Re: 1:600 Conte di Savoia
Well ... I had built some fifteen 1:600 airfix ships and just kept going. I started years ago when 1:700 wasn't so popular and 1:350 didn't exist. !:600 gives a model of a decent size but still small enough to allow a good collection. I've close to 40 ships now (some big some small) all to 1:600 .....

My goodness. That is SO impressive. Both the basic shape making and the final detail are incredible.
