I suspect that many parts for the 2nd expedition will not fit for the 3rd expedition, especially aft around the helicopter deck, which was moved up and enlarged.

1st expedition:

Great job Lars,

you can clearly distinguish modern "work vessels" from ships of about 10 years ago, just by looking at them. The covered and/or streamlined bows are quite obvious.
Love the tiny helo on Astrolabe :thumbs_up_1:

Thank you!

Yes, modern "work vessel" have really a distinct look - in my view the look much cooler than earlier ones.
