Description
The RMS Queen Mary was the first Ocean Liner to be named after a Queen of England and became the first Queen of the CUNARD Fleet.Standing at 181 feet tall and 1019 feet long she was definately one of the largest ships of her time and despite her size moved at a respectable 28.5 knots.
During her Oceanliner carrer before WW2 the Queen Mary had a feirous rivalry with the French vessel, SS Normandie, both ships repeatably breaking each other's speed records until War broke out.
The Queen Mary is still around today but as a floating hotel and is the only Queen left from that time era as unfortunately her sister was destroyed by a fire in the 60s.

What if the Queen Mary was built in a earlier time where the stern was like Titanic?
I'd think it would be scrapped probably

I got a model to build of QM2 in the scale 1:400, I've had it for about 2 years or so I think...3 maybe... I just haven't had time and now I'm waiting for some things I need for an airbrush that my father promised to buy. Thought I would try airbrushing QM2 since she's so big, I've never done it before you see. I'm quite exited!
Anyway she's should be first on my list of what I should build but I also have 2 smaller models of Mauretania to build.

i have the same 1:400 QM2, she's massive at 85cm long. I'm waiting for the new Minicraft range so I can get the RMS Olympic

I already have a RMS Olympic model. I wish there was a model for HMHS Britannic but I haven't found any yet.

Might buy it myself actually, Mom will explode though... X)

gonna cost a lot though but she'll be worth it, sister to Titanic will be worth it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but I've already spent quite a lot of money on model ships so I don't think buying her would matter that much really unless they got an extreme shipping cost to Sweden, then I might have to reconsider. :/

Actually the first Cunard liner named for a queen of England was Berengaria, wife of Richard I, the lionhearted, true she was Spanish but she was the English queen, which was about a decade before QM was even constructed.
