Thanks for the comments. I don't have plans to do the whole sealink fleet but I may post the odd drawing from time to time. I've been trying to finish off drawings that have been sat around half done for eons.

Beautifully done, Charybdis.
I hope to see more ferries here!

Several of these Sealink ferries had a second life in real Hellas, with modifications from local nanal architects and serve well. A hellenic magazine for merchant navy refered to them as " ships with fireman's helmet".

These could take trains, right?

Since I need all year train ferries for one line and have also good reference on reall hellenic modifications, could I try a variant for my AU? And some real variants of course.

Considering the comments I got in the beginners forum, I think I can move these here.

RMS Mauretania (II) in as she appeared during the from her post war refit (completed only a couple voyages before the war, her maiden voyage being completed in June of 1939) into the 1960s, when she served as relief ship on the Southampton - New York run, often running full time as the third ship on the route in the summer months. In the winter months she served the Caribbean and West Indies cruise market. In 1957 she received air conditioning to better fill this role.

By the end of the 50s her role as transatlantic liner was slowly coming to end facing compitetion from larger more modern vessels and air travel and in by the 60s was mainly used for cruising. In October 1962 she received Cunard's pale green cruise livery and remained this way until retirement and scraping in 1965.

represent the hull shape correctly, or just use the standard shipbucket rule ;). other then that, they seem pretty much perfect, and they certainly belong here.
