looking for a model ship

my better half is working for a ship management company and she's been telling me about how nice their model ships are for weeks now.

well, her birthday is coming up fast and i thought i'd get her a modern high detail commercial cargo ship model

does anyone have a clue as to where i can find something like this? a short search in google only yielded centuries old warship models. i'm looking for a present day cargo/container or tanker ships.

thanks

Are you serious!

Well if you are then you could take a look here Huge Selection of Discounted Plastic Models, Balsa Airplane Model kits, Modeling Tools & Paint, Puzzles, Toys and Games

You sure she wouldn't prefer a new iron?

Re: looking for a model ship

Whats wrong with a model ship for a girl?Not everyone prefer diamond,gold,a cruise or perhaps designe clothes[if i was you i take o board the suggestion of a lawier]The only thing think of your girfriend close in in own room for days building this ship[can take up mounth].So days of freedoms or lonlyness?

Re: looking for a model ship

Understanding women Rule 1 of 10000000000:

A woman saying she likes something does not necessarily mean she wants one, it simply means she likes it. And if you buy her one your in the doghouse becuase your were not being thoughtful you was being lazy for not listening to the real truth (which you wont know anyway)

If she works in the environment i doubt she would want her free time filled with building a copy to look nothing like the ones at work, which inturn will make her feel incompetent which will then all be your fault.

Chocolates always win, unless shes a bloater then she will think you dont understand shes trying to lose weight and you simply just dont care lol

Re: looking for a model ship

Why not try to combine the traditional with the untraditional.

Eg name a rose for her, if she's called Torrey Canyon you're on a winner...

Re: looking for a model ship

At (I suspect) the very expensive end there's model container vessels, scale model, marine model container vessels At the budget end (again a guess) there's 4250tue Container Ship,China 4250tue Container Ship Products,4250tue Container Ship manufacturer If they're like most Chinese businesses they'll be happy to point you to a retailer or sell direct with a helpful Customs valuation. If you're willing to make it yourself (or pay someone) there's Graupner model kits http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/..._rc_boats.html If you search ebay with the word supertanker you'll find a nice one in Germany for 88p (at the moment)
