yup, however it has made the coffee taste kinda odd! she shal be in the water on sunday, and sometime next week she will have her decals on order. The bird logo that adorns the bow of Nord Icelandia will also be going on the ship as well.
oh I will enjoy it as well. Celestia's old South Sands livery has been on her since 2006
heres the old livery against the new livery.

Hi Ghost,
I hope it's not the laquor in the coffee you taste!
So, do I foresee Celestia going through some tasteful modifications to match the Nord?

as for modifications, as she is a cargo ship, she will have a crane (not operational due to scale) on her deck (again). she used to have one before BUT it was slightly off-cock due to a miss sighting when i was building it, so I removed it

Definitely time for a new cup of coffee! 
It probably won't take too much to rework the crane.
How long is Celestia?

Length: 1135 mm
Beam: 140 mm
Scale 1 : 200
one idea crossed my head.
12mm x 12mm x 60mm blocks made into containers, and a full deck load
pictured here is what the ship would have looked like If I had built it how Graupner wanted it built, however I wanted a bulker type ship

Thanks Rich.
just looking now as to whether to have her registered at Heysham, like she was before, OR to re-register her at another port.
Im thinking again of Dutch Harbor

She is now part of the Aurora fleet. She should surely be registered at her owner's port. You are the CEO of Aurora!
