Second of my Stockholm's Summon Bigger Ship series is MS Gabriella, owned by Finnish shipping company Viking Line. It was built in 1992 in Brodosplit, Croatia, and first christened as Frans Suell in Malmö by Swedish opera singer Birgit Nilsson. The name Gabriella came up from public naming competition after its aquisition by Viking Lines in 1997. It has length of 171 m, 12 decks and can take 2420 passengers and 400 cars.
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.
