Finally I can reveal what has kept me busy the last two years besides all the models I have shown. The MS Jutlandia.
Short history (wikipedia :) )
MS Jutlandia was contracted by and built for the East Asiatic Company (EAC) in 1934, as a combined passenger and cargo ship at EAC's NakskovShipyard, Denmark. Following an extended operational life in which she also served as a hospital ship and a royal yacht, she was finally decommissioned in 1965
Jutlandia was contracted by EAC in 1934, to replace older ships on the then regular service between Copenhagen and Bangkok. She operated on this route from November 1934, until January 1940, and again from 1954 to the end of 1964.
When North Korean communist forces attacked South Korea on 25 June 1950, Denmark agreed to provide assistance to the United Nations Command and to give humanitarian support to the allied forces in South Korea.
She has been to Pusan, South Korea three times and treated military personal as well ass civilians. Jutlandia received the Korean Presidential Unit Citation. Crew members and medical staff were officially decorated by Denmark with the Erindringsmedaljen for deltagelde i hospitalsskibet "Jutlandia"s ekspedition til Korea 1951-1953 (Commemorative Medal for Participation in the Hospitalship "Jutlandia"s Expedtion to Korea 1951-1953. (479 medals were awarded).
But why this ship. Well ,that's really simple. During LEGOworld 2013 the LEGO CEE team asked me to build a ship for them. They came up with the 130m long MS Jutlandia. It was build specifically for LEGOworld copenhagen 2015. What will be done with it afterwards is not yet decided.
I started searching for plans and found them in Danmark. The man who owned was so kind to send them to me so that I could start new Mlcad project. I started somewhere in april 2013 and finished the entire hull inside and outside, wheelhouse and part of the forcastle deck at the end of august 2013. The first shipment of bricks arrived in the beginning of november 2013. From that point on I have only been building with real bricks and did not continue with the Mlcad file. On and off building due to waitng for shipments of bricks I finished the entire ship in december 2014.
Designing in Mlcad took me about 5 months and the build itself took me 6 months, all evening hours. The ship is 3,25m long 43cm wide and about 1,5 m high. It consist out of 90,000- 100,000 bricks.
And last but not least, a big thanks to Ralph Savelsberg (Mad physicist) for building the studless :) helicopter. Thanks mate.
This is MS Swiss Corona, the second Scylla AG vessel working the Rhône-Saône system making a very close approach to MS Lord Byron (the viewpoint for the shot) on the River Saône for a transfer of goods.
The manoeuvre took place directly outside the Camping de Tournus and caused people to appear from their caravans, tents and chalets with cameras in hand. They possibly thought they were about to witness a head-on collision between two 110 metre vessels!

Last year, rats harvested a lot more than I did from my garden. To resolve the problem, I had an enclosure built for my garden out of hardware cloth (wire mesh). While it's certainly working to keep the larger diners out, these smaller rats are finding their way in. This is the fifth one I've caught in as many days. She's actually pretty cute. She, along with the others have been relocated to a nearby park.
It looks like I'll be spending the weekend shoring up the enclosure, finding the gaps where these little buggers are squeezing in to enjoy the veggie buffet. Luckily, the peanut butter I'm using to bait my trap is more enticing than the small green tomatoes and the young pole beans I hope to harvest when ripe.
