SS CONTE DI SAVOIA
We at ModelShipMaster.com do whatever it takes to
build accurate and aesthetic cruise ship models for
your beautiful home and esteemed office. If you
desire to own a piece of history or a nautical art
piece, ModelShipMaster.com is
always here for you. Our model looks grand and
lively, not
'dead' like a shiny plastic toy or a boring
decorative accessory. That art is considered by many
more challenging than the task of constructing a model
itself.
Ocean liner models might look
very good from afar but when examined closely, they are quite
different. When you look, pay
particular attention to accuracy. Focus on the large photos
that zoom in details. A great model not only serves you well but also
becomes a valuable heirloom for your children or
grand children to
remember you by.

The Conte
di Savoia came into existence in parallel with the Rex,
serving the express route between Genova and New York
between 1932 and 1940. Both ships were brought
into service by the Italia Flotte Riunite in the Autumn
of 1932 but both had originally been ordered by rival
companies and the only similarities between them were
their dimensions, speed and hotel arrangements.
The Conte
di Savoia and the Rex were conceived to compete with
each other. Unlike the SS Rex, the Conte di Savoia represented an
authentic revolution among ocean liners with her lounges
in a genuinely modern style.
Her
designed speed is the same as that of the Rex. In
May 1933 she secured the westbound record with 27.53
knots from Gibraltar to the Ambrose Light, New York.
An
exclusive feature of the Conte di Savoia is the
provision of a stabilizer. The stabilizer in the Conte di Savoia consists of three
gyroscopes of equal dimensions.
Each gyroscope has a fly-wheel weighing 175 tons and
making 910 revolutions a minute. The total weight
of the stabilizer is 750 tons. With the stabilizer in
operation, the vessel will not roll more than two and a half degrees to either side even in
the roughest weather. Those who are afraid to take
a sea voyage for fear of sea-sickness should therefore
have no qualms about booking in the vessel.
For the
first time an English publication recognized her
technical superiority.
Among her many innovations, we should remember that she
was the first in the World to have an anti-roll system
designed to counteract the dreaded mal de mer.

This primarily wood SS Conte di
Savoia ocean liner model
ship has the following qualities:
-
Plank-on-frame
construction.
This construction method gives accurate hulls, as
artisans create the frame of the hull exactly like in
drawings. The solid hull method, on the other hand,
employs most guesswork on the degree of curvature.
- Windows and portholes are cutouts (not black decal
or indentation). They are clean, uniform, and aligned.
