With photo of 3d model in 'Arvia' mode - which I guess it should be for this thread.

There isn't much difference from the side - see short video at end of model switching over from Iona to Arvia

Some better pictures with corrections to the thrusters etc,

Finally got around to having a go at modelling the underside of my Iona/Arvia 3d model - I assume they are both more or less the same under the water (so photo's presented are of the Iona version).  Not sure of the precise proportions though and also particularly what the stern looks like.   Any feedback on proportions, shapes or any missing bits appreciated.

Sounds several levels above my building Airifx kits over 40 years ago!

Quite tricky to do the design and takes a long while to print out - but the nice thing is that there is no glueing or painting to do 😄

Those are fantastic!👍

 

Tell me, is the model building a hobby or linked to your vocation?

 

Also, how did you solve the water spill issues with the infinity pool?😉

Just a hobby - started modelling cruise ships earlier this year after a few trips on Ventura, Iona and Azura.  Have been into 3d printing for a few years - but never really found anything that I was interested enough in to do multi colour printing until I thought of doing cruise ships.  

No solution to the water spill issue - I suppose I should model a few water splashes on the cabins below (or maybe a passenger with an umbrella) it to to make the model more realistic. 😄

There is some really fantastic stuff in this thread - have only just discovered it.

I am currently doing 3d models of the P&O Cruises Fleet - mainly from photos and drone shots. Already done Arvia at 1:500 scale and almost finished creating a 1:250 scale model of Ariva too.  

Haven't modelled below the waterline yet - so will hopefully be able to use some of the photos and videos in here to get it as accurate as possible.

Too late now for my 1:250 version - but when I do a 1:1000 scale version think I will try breaking it up into the real component parts as per the videos so that I can check shapes etc. - plus should hopefully be able to create a fairly interesting video showing a recreation of parts being delivered and then melded together to make the whole ship.

Arvia 1:500 scale model photo attached - (with Iona which I did first).

Yesterday  I booked C726 for next March and requested no upgrade.

I booked R726 on Ventura for last April and was moved too.. 
Same thing happened on Iona in June - moved from 14622.

In both cases however the new cabin was better - so not unhappy.
 

For future cruises I have again selected cabins with no upgrades and have also avoided cabins in the aft area too - so hopefully won't get moved again.

A contract note only proves that you purchased the shares at a certain date and does not prove current ownership. It might be accepted if the purchase was within three months but why go down this path when you can print off a current statement.

Brian

Good point, however as I had only purchased the shares before they were not appearing in my previous investment report - which is I presume the HL equivalent of a statement.  I also included a HL app screen print.    Not looking forward to next time as it looks like there is loads of stuff the redact in the investment report if that's the best document to send next time

Thanks for that, just one question everything I have done is on-line. I can see my portfolio within the app but beyond the fact it shows the following I'm not sure this counts as proof of ownership?

 

Anyone any ideas?

 

For my recent request they accepted the share purchase contract note as proof of ownership - not sure if that's easily available from freetrade as bought mine via HL

Bought 100 shares myself a couple of weeks ago after booking an Iona Cruise, and sent off request for onboard credit on bank holiday Monday, and was amazed that it was applied within 3 hrs.  

Bad news though is that shares are already down about 20% from the around £13 they were (which I thought was a pretty good price).   £9.82 today is hopefully even more of a bargain, so bought another 50 today.

Does anyone know why the Shareholder benefit instructions specify an end date of Feb 28 2023 - is this something they update every year?
