RMS Aquitania "Ship Beautiful". First World War colour scheme
RMS Aquitania was a Cunard Line ocean liner designed by Leonard Peskett and built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland. She was launched on 21 April 1913 and sailed on her maiden voyage to New York on 30 May 1914. Aquitania was the third in Cunard Line's "grand trio" of express liners, preceded by the RMS Mauretania and RMS Lusitania, and was the last surviving four-funnelled ocean liner.Widely considered one of the most attractive ships of her time, Aquitania earned the nickname "Ship Beautiful".
Aquitania sailed on her maiden voyage under the command of Captain William Turner on 30 May 1914. This event was overshadowed by the sinking of the RMS Empress of Ireland in Quebec the previous day with over a thousand drowned. The following month Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated, and the world was plunged into World War I, interrupting Aquitania's civilian career. After only three round trips she was taken over for military use. At first she was converted into an armed merchant cruiser, for which provision had been made in her design. The Admiralty found that large liners were too profligate in their use of fuel to act as cruisers, so Aquitania did not serve long in that role. After being idle for a time, in the spring of 1915 she was converted into a trooper, and made voyages to the Dardanelles, sometimes running alongside Britannic or Mauretania. Aquitania then was converted into a hospital ship, and acted in that role in during the Dardanelles campaign. In 1916, the year that White Star's third ship, Britannic, was sunk, Aquitania was returned to the trooping front, and then in 1917 was again laid up. In 1918, she was back on the high seas in troopship service, conveying North American troops to Britain
I successfully reconstruct the ships of the early 20th century. Here is my plans for the future:
Green = Finished --- Orange = Started --- Red = In plans
Lusitania
Aquitania
Mauritania
Titanic
Britannic
Gigatnik
Olympic
Queen Mary
Carpathia
Useful Information
I also recommend a mod called OptiFine which will let you disable the void fog. The ship with out interior but you can continue it.

Could you perhaps make a massive shipyard containing all of your works???
I'd love to make a Minecraft video touring it, with individual links to the ships and the shipyard itself, of course.
Your work is excellent!
P.s sorry for my English. :D
I do not mind when, I understand it takes time to make these and you are brilliant a what you do!
P.S. Your English is better than quite a few people who speak it as their first language.
