In year 2008 spring I did a school trip to Stockholm. At the cruise, near Stockholm I went outside for looking beautiful scers and sea. There are wery beautiful and nature around magic. I watched and watched until I saw one big cruise ferry the Silja Europa. I had watched the Silja Europa from internet before too but I didn't saw that what I saw then. I looked her until she lost. In my minds ran thoughts that the ship what I saw is my dreams ship. If I researched the ship again, I understood she is that truely. It took place in March of 2008. Silja Europa is as my big sister because she is 10 days younger than me.
The Siljas Europa becam so special, she is still my special favorite today after all 5 years.
In year 2008 autumn my aunt told about ship modeling hobby group at taking up potatoes. Then I researched more for it and I tecided to join with the group. The first imperssion was good and I did a test work. The test work was a small boat. If it completed I was able to join with the ship modeling hobby group. The boat completed in some months, I searched for next model. At christmas holiday I searched around internet for next ship. In choice was Silja Serenade and Silja Europa. I thought "Which ship I would buyild??" I tecided for the Silja Serenade but still I wasn't sure. Finally I looked and looked two photos until I tecided for the Silja Europa. I searched for plans about the Silja Europa. Sadly, ship builders not give away/sell ship plans. It ruined a bit but wish for build just this ship was so strong that I still did something for doing the dream real. Photos helped out and I drew full plans in scale 1/300. But all hull plan didn't help on hull construction. Then I had to use another ship hull lines.
Idea for modeling the Silja Europa is steer own special favorite really. The model has radio control system and 2 engines.
Alltogether, The model build progress took about 3 years. Special thanks for Viljandi hobby school who allowed me to join with the ship modeling hobby group. They help to do own dreams real. If my aunt hadn't told about the group, I maybe don't have the small Silja Europa now. It is fantastic how become dreams real if belief and wish is strong. Life teachs me believe in this what you dream and if time is correct, these dreams may become real. Before I almost surrended of dream about radio controlled ship model. I never forget how I try rebuild QM2 model kit as floating model while I felt total hopelessness about build a floating model ever. I have some models but the Silja Europa is my favorite one.
