hello everyone.
i am planning to build my first model ship ever.
i want to build the Anthea, which is a modern (1997) cargo vessel. she came to our port (coega/ngqura) this month carrying a load of wind turbines. Its a big deal for our country RSA, and i thought it would be great to mark the occasion by building a model of the vessel that brought the turbines here.
my big big problem is ... im struggling to find info on the hull design. can someone please help me, i need the rib profiles so i can start making the hull. i'm sure there's a lot of vessels out there with this hull design, and similarly many model.
any help would be greatly appreciated .
trev

Conveniently, the ship's owners' website has a nice profile drawing of the ship: http://www.gmbliner.com/vessels-employed.html
Try contacting them to see if they're willing to send you some drawings of the ribs and details.
