Plz Note that the ships i will make will be nowhere near as detaled as TFM's Models :thumbs:

I am sure you could make a good vessel :thumbs:

Shouldn't put yourself down - just with a bit of patience and hard work, you could easily make great models :thumbs:

You have done some nice work Captain Hollis!! Keep it up I enjoyed look at your topic.

Ouch! You've been faster to build a giant container ship than U.S. shipyards have been for building a Liberty ship during WWII (3 days)!... that's probably thanks to the big gantry crane...
You should put much more time and care in building such a large model. No one forces you to build it in a few hours and dashed job. With more time and much more care, you'd perhaps be able to achieve a much more realistic and detailed ship with a less cartoonesque and basic result, very far from a true ship in all areas.
Please, don't misinterpret my words, I'm not speaking about your today's skill there, I'm speaking about much more care and demanding/questionning attitude to put into your work in order to be able to achieve a far better result. Skill would then automatically come and improve. I don't see the above result as a consequence of your current low skill (we all had to start somewhere, that's not the problem), but a consequence of your lack of care and demanding attitude put into that work. Even at your age you could have more of that attitude and I'll be among the first ones to congratulate you in that case.
With more practice and time before posting your project and with more care put into your work, I'm sure you could rather easily obtain a similar result than TFM, since you've mentioned him.
Besides, my advice would be to be careful with the Maersk name. You're not allowed to use it without asking them for authorization first. And I do know for sure they're very protective towards their brand, name, colors, logo and image.

Dom makes an excellent point, though for a beginner you at least have a good idea on how to create a good ship.
but minute detail IS always what makes a ship better
for example i have files
"new" and "old"
and
"new2" and "old2"
on this cruise ship it shows you my earlier then later version.
You will also note that through time e.g. with deck chairs and spaces of decks and deck space: you will get a better sense of scale...
