Hi all!
I've been hard at work drawing up some more vessels. I'm presently working on the France and I can confirm she is HUGE. The drawing is 1.8 meters long!

As a nice contrast here is a smaller vessel for you. She started life as a German cargo vessel and was spectacularly re-built as an elegant liner in a way that only an Italian line could achieve! Introducing - COGEDAR Line's M/S Aurelia!

After this she served as a rather tiny cruise ship - M/V Romanza - for that omnipotent Greek line Chandris well into the 1990s! Sadly she would catch fire in 1997 and go on to be scrapped.

Hope you like these! Some bigger and more famous liners inbound.

Excellent works of art, alotef, appreciate your decision to share those.
Would personally love to see the original form of the Aurelia, the German Huascaran

Fantastic work! (as always) Thanks for sharing them with us!

Awesome...can't wait to see France! What other vessels are on your list?

[alotef]

Thanks for the kind words folks!
@Hood: It is my pleasure - I have always liked to keep in touch with this forum. I started out drawing over at JG but always found this site's work a source of inspiration!

@Novice: Thanks mate! Huascaran is definitely on the list - I plan to write an article detailing the re-build for my blog so once I get to it I'll be sure to share. The re-build was a sheer masterpiece in my opinion.

@eswube: Very kind of you to say mate! Like I told Hood, it has been a great thing staying in touch with this forum and keeping an eye on what you've all been up to. Being able to share my own work every now and then is great!

@emperor_andreas: Cheers! Here's the 'official' list I published last month:

I can tell you that in the mean time I have come by some unbelievable source material for some very famous Liners - QE2 and Oriana among them. My drawing list right now includes Amerikanis, The Victoria (both for a commission), followed by P&O's Chusan. Then... who knows. Something big and grand!

Oh, and I ought to add - I am working on one of those spectacular early German liners - Kronprinzessin Cecilie! I have to say that she's bloody complex and proving a happy challenge.

Amazing stuff, and so good to learn that good things are in the wings, are to come.

Hi everyone!
I'm happy to present a new liner for you, NDL's very elegant Kronprinzessin Cecilie. For this one I have done something a bit different and put the whole image file up to download for free.
