I did look the site - very good looking models especially of the "Spirit Class" - ferries (which I do anyways find, are the best looking BC-ferries). This here though made me laugh - well better stay with building nice models ... "B.C. FERRIES STUDY MODELS These models were built to aid at the planning stage of the latest B.C. Catamaran Ferries." Does that say something about the model-building company or does that say something about BC-ferries   |

"Does that say something about the model-building company or does that say something about BC-ferries"
lol.
I still contend (backed with facts) that 99% of the blame for the fastcat fiasco lies on Glen Clark's shoulders, not BCF or the NDP.

Yes, or exact replicas. Months ago I did a photo shoot of the Maritime Museum of B.C. with my old point and shoot 3.2 megapixel camera, but I'm looking forward to getting over there again to re-shoot the museum with my new 5.0 megapixel camera and a tripod.

They built ship models during the design procedure, as they say a picture is worth a 1,000 words. We use models to check lines in tank testing - these models then have the finishing touches applied and given to the client.
They did very limited tank testing on the Cat's, but then added and made major changes to the hull's which they never went back and re-tested.
The cut away drawing were done by a British artist - based here in Portsmouth.
