Thanks. I'm not 100% happy about them. I don't have a plan to work from and there are a few characteristics that haven't been represented, like the curved surface between the upper and lower passenger decks. If I come across some plans, I might give them an overhaul.

The trip to Ryde only takes 20 mins by fast cat. Its supposed to be the most expensive stretch of water in the world. :shock:

Another interesting factoid about these ships is that they were both nameed after Lord Mountbatten's daughters.

1975 saw the introduction of the Super Viking class to the Portsmouth/Southampton to Le Havre. The ships were MS VIKING VENTURER, MS VIKING VALIANT (below), MS VIKING VOYAGER, MS VIKING VISCOUNT.

Thanks a lot, ALVAMA :)

I think the designer must have been a serious drug taker! All of these extra decks only added another 105 cars (380 total) and 116 passengers (1,316 total).

Behold! the beast...

In all fairness 105 cars isn't insignificant - in fact it added the number of cars carried total by about a quarter.

Having recently got married, moved to the other side of the world and looking for a job and a house, my drawing time has been severely cut down. "Shipbucket" is already a dirty word in my wife's vocabulary! :P However, a recent trip to my home town of Portsmouth has spurred me on to finish some of my drawings:

MV Mont St Michel passing the Round Tower in Old Portsmouth

MV St Helen approaching Fishbourne
[ img ]
The wonderful SS Waverley, Hovercraft and Spitbank Fort...
[ img ]

Here is MV Mont St Michel:
Operating the Portsmouth to Caen (Ouistreham) Route.
Built for 80m GBP in 2002.
35,500 tons carrying 2,123 passengers and 830 vehicles
