I recently acquired a kit of the ORIANA that is NOT the OLD BEAUTIFUL offering from REVELL . I am going to spend a lot of time grinding just to get certain areas thin enough to detail . I would appreciate any help on detailing this ship . I saw her in the pacific when I was chief engineer on a tanker and I do believe the new cruise ships can,t hold a candle to her for sheer beauty and class of design .The BRAZIL and some came close , but these new hotels on a barge don,t do a thing for this old salt .I just wish someone had the guts and money to build a cruise ship as beautiful and as much a design icon as the NORMANDIE .That looked like a ship too . Well , enough of my wandering . Can anyone help me on the detail question?? -----tankerbuilder P.S. I just feel this way as I rode out a slight storm on a well known cruise liner that didn,t make it to port in time . It was the worst example of stability and seamanship I,ve ever seen !!!
You might want to try picking up some of the old brochures from the cruise lines. They are on eBay listed by cruise line for the big ones and under a general heading for the small ones. I found a lot of stuff there when I was researching the old Brasil and Argentina. They are usually cheap and can give you things that you would otherwise miss. WS
