It's been interesting recasting the old Minic Kits and working on my own. I found that the Minic kits could be modified to represent the ships later in their careers. A Minic Saxonia could be finished in the normal Black Hull / White upperworks, but you could modify it and paint it in two tone green, or even all white. Saxonia was converted to Carmania, a very rare and expensive model, and the converted again for Russian owners. Flandre could have a new structure built forward and become the Carla C. A lot of ships converted over to the cruise trade after the airlines were taking over the Atlantic Trade. From a few moulds, I can build up quite a nice collection.
Top to bottom : Carmania / Franconia. Carla C. Elizabeth Bowater.
The first try at vac moulding collapsed. Too much vac and not a strong enough box. Bit of a splash!
I'll build a box into this poly box and that should sort it.
I can still use the leftovers.
