A crisp, wonderful peacetime presentation. I would like to see more merchantman projects.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement and help on this one. I'll be starting on the Maru liners in their pre-war liveries next and will post photos when completed.

Hello,

Just to let you know that a new batch of ten revised photos of OSK Himalaya Maru have been uploaded, showing us all, that sometimes we need to get back to a model to make it even better - this time the rigging!

Congratulations Jim - it was worth the extra work!
Cheers,
Rui

I love the rose colored decks on the Kurohime Maru! The sine wave pattern along the hull on the water base is especially effective.
