tourer Posted July 14, 2007 #176 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Hello Modelman! Your collection is great, must give you much pleasure. If, by any chance, you don't have a sentimental attachment to each of them, and.. you happen to have a "Song of America"...would you, perhaps, consider selling it to me? I'm loosing hope of getting one after searching for years on ebay. Sorry to ask, but you've got to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelman Posted July 16, 2007 #177 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I unfortunately am not willing to sell any of the 1:1250 scale waterline models at this time, but interestingly I have another collection of ceramic cruise ship models, by a company called Passport Models. They used to have a model of the month club, and they are pretty nice models. They are not nearly as detailed as the metal models, but get a good impression of the ship across. I might be persuaded to sell some or all of these. I have Atlantic (Premier), Oceanic (Premier), Song of America, Song of Norway, Nordic Prince, Regent Sea, Regent Star, Bermuda Star, Veracruz, Celebration, Jubilee (or Holiday, I am not sure which), Crown del Mar, Crown Odyssey, Norway, Sovereign of the Seas, Stardancer, Emerald Seas and Americana. If anyone is interested in any of these collector's items, send me a PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelman Posted July 18, 2007 #178 Share Posted July 18, 2007 After I posted, I realized there is no Private Message function on this board, so if anyone is interested in one of the china models listed above, shoot me an email at thadconstantine@hotmail.com. Here are a few views of some of the models. They are fun, but not exceedingly realistic renderings of the ships themselves. P.S. I forgot that the Caribe I and Homeric are in the collection, and also one of the models is definitely the Holiday, so the other is either the Celebration or Jubilee, not sure which it is I have, as they are exact sisters.

tourer Posted July 21, 2007 #179 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hello Modelman, I really appreciate your gesture there and it is very tempting to ask you for the Song of America, however, I think I had better keep on hoping for the match to the ones they sold onboard the ship. Again, you must be proud of your collection and I hope you have had as many happy cruises as you have momentos! All the best..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontpanik Posted August 13, 2007 #180 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I only have one ship, the Disney Magic ( I didn't feel the need to get one of the Wonder since they're basically the same ship), and I would like to get one of the RCI Sovereign of the Seas when I go in December. Is there a particular scale I should be looking for? I have no idea what scale the Disney on is, though I'd say she's about 8 or 9 inches long. PS - if anyone needs to get one of the Sovereign, I'd be more than happy to pick one up for you when I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isla Mike Posted August 14, 2007 #181 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hi, The Sovereign was our first cruise and I never got a model (which I now collect). IF you could pick one up for me I would really appreciate it! Isla Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF you could pick one up for me I would really appreciate it! Isla Mike No problem at all. I live right by the port so I wouldn't need to worry about it getting damaged on the way home. Are you a local (C. Fla), or do I need to ship it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isla Mike Posted August 15, 2007 #183 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hi, Thank you so much. I am not local so it would have to be shipped. My email address is mike@isla-del-sol.net so we can work out me sending you a check. thanks! Isla Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsmom Posted August 31, 2007 #184 Share Posted August 31, 2007 djdutch - I am sailing on the Majesty of the Seas in a few weeks. Are you still needing that model? How much are they usually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerfun Posted September 26, 2007 #186 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Are there any websites, outside of ebay, where cruise ship replicas (good quality) are sold? Do Crown/NCL sell them outside the ship? I see a reference to http://scherbakshipmodels.tripod.com but it doesnt have Crown princess. Can anyone suggest a way to purchase? Thanks.

modelman Posted October 1, 2007 #187 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I recommend emailing Alexander Scherbak and asking him about the Crown. I think that model is on his list of future models.. I have two of his 1:900 models, and three of the 1:1250 scale waterline models (Freedom, Millennium, and QM2). I really love the waterline ones.

cruiserbryce Posted October 8, 2007 #188 Share Posted October 8, 2007 those water line models are really nice...they give a good look at what the ship looked like when you saw her during your vacation. The ones sold on the ships arent bad, but I dont need all that stuff that goes on below the water line...I know it sounds silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruss540 Posted October 20, 2007 #190 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Hi all, I forgot to pick up a model of the RCCL Mariner of the Seas when I sailed on that ship. I've been checking eBay constantly since I sailed but none have come up. I looked at Scherbak Ship Models, but I really don't want to pay $150+ for a model. Is there any way I can still get a model. (I'm planning to go on the Freedom of the Seas for my next cruise). Thank, Mike S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetskier Posted October 26, 2007 #193 Share Posted October 26, 2007 The cruiselines (actually the ship's store as they are contractors onboard) cannot sell the ship model to you once you have left the ship. There are strict laws governing the sale of items in the Duty/Tax Free shops. Ebay is one place. The second is to find a willing person to buy you one on their next cruise. We went through the same thing in deciding to start a collection after our third cruise. I am just lacking the NCL Sun but I will be going on her in February. I have a model of the Fantasy on Ebay right now that is up to $51 with another day to go. (I knew I should have bought a couple of more when I was onboard) Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinbuddy Posted December 16, 2007 #194 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I am definately going to start collecting them on board. I just checked Ebay for a Disney Magic model and the guy wants $30.00 shipping, so that would bring the total cost to over $70.00. I liked the cruise but not that much. I have an inflatable CCL ship, fun a tubby time:eek: just kidding, it's still in the package, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatka Posted December 17, 2007 #195 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Not all models sold on board. We couldn't buy Celebrity Mercury, still can't find it anywhere :( . We were thinking about using Century model (we had duplicates) and alter name on it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aadaneboy Posted December 18, 2007 #196 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I'm desperately looking to get the Marco Polo and the Pride of America ships. We sailed on them several years ago before we began collecting models. We've been able to get all the others, but just lack these two. I check ebay daily, but have been unsucessful for these 2. I'm most concerned about never getting the Marco Polo before she leaves Orient Lines for good! Anyone help out with either of these? Also, we are going on the Crown Princess in Feb. Anyone need a model of her? Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgh99x Posted January 10, 2008 #197 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I am going on the Voyager of the Seas (RCCL) in a few days, if anybody is interested in having me purchase something for them (Like Ship Models), I would be happy to. Just please let me know what you need. joshuahammers@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebiford29 Posted January 13, 2008 #198 Share Posted January 13, 2008 This may be a really stupid question, but since I never shopped for them, can you purchase other ship models on your ship? i.e. could I buy the Mariner of the Seas model on the Liberty of the Seas ship?

Just the model of the ship you are sailing on. I have one more to get to complete the collection of ships we have been on. I will be sailing on the Sun next month so I will be able to get it then.

Mud Diver Posted January 24, 2008 #200 Share Posted January 24, 2008 When I was on the Triumph last May all of the model ships in the gift shop were broken and they did not have any more in stock. I offered them a lower price for a broken one but they wouldn't do it. I thought that I would just go back and pick one up on eBay, well, I have been watching eBay 8 months now. One finally came up a week or so ago but the seller did a Buy it now and it was gone before I could get to it. :mad: If anyone is going on the Triumph and wouldn't mind picking one up for me I would be very appreciative!
