1/596 RMS Queen Mary (Revell)
I built this RMS Queen Mary from an older Revell/Advent kit and I believe it's in 1/596 scale (couldn't really tell as the box was in extremely bad condition).
It's a decent kit with a lot of molded on detail, but also those unfortunate molded on railings. I didn't feel like cutting them all off on this ship, so I left them in place and added the rigging from brass and copper wire and nylon flyfishing leader (you can get great stuff at 0.004" size and you can get 30 yards of the stuff for a couple of dollars at any sporting goods store).
