  1. Hi, The company you're thinking of is JADROlinija, the company still exists today, and they operate ferries. People often confuse Jugolinija and Jadrolinija. This is "Opatija" during the 60's.
  2. And so, atleast at the time of writing this, (22nd Nov 2024) is it. Will update the topic when I start to do more work. Until then, bye!
  3. Next step was to make the keel. I am using 6mm plywood left over from some other project. You can see the the keel cut away and ready to be sanded here, and the lines plan too:
  4. So, here we go. Picture 1 shows M/V "Pobjeda", translated to "Victory" from Croatian. She is a 2500 DWT general cargo ship built in 1958. She is 94.5m long, 13.3 wide, and 10.05 meters deep. She worked for the company "Jugolinija", aka Yugoslavian Shipping Line, based in Rijeka, Croatia. She was scrapped in 1981. After acquiring the plans from the shipyard itself (3.Maj Shipyard, Rijeka, Croatia), I started to do planning - R/C components, battery, receiever, motor, and servo for the rudder, the scale - which in this case is 1:100. The lines plan itself is 1:100 so that makes it a lot easier.
  5. Hello, my name is Antonio, but you can call me Toni. I am 22 years old, first-time builder, but have been interested in model ship building since I was a small kid. Since my father made a "model" of a tanker ship when I was just 7 years old, watching him made me want to make my own model and develop my own skills, but sadly, I never really got into it. Now, at 22, I think I'll have a nice "weekend" hobby to play with. I have managed to acquire some blueprints from a local shipyard here in Croatia (yes, I am from the far country of Croatia!), which in my model ship building club is considered "a miracle", mainly because privatized shipyards don't want to give out the plans for ship just like "that"...but anyhow, I am planning to make a R/C model of one small ship from 1958, made in Yugoslavia, of course. I have made the proper preparations so far and I looking forward to making that model. Excuse my English if it isn't perfect! P.S. If you're wandering about my username / nick, it's one of my favorite marine engines in existence - the Deutz RVBM 545!
