Check this link. Spare azipod screw blades. If you start taking on green water on that deck run for the lifeboats or stop the steady diet of  "Poseidon adventure" reruns.

I doubt that they would be spare blades. The Queen Mary 2 has stainless steel blades anyway or so I seem to remeber from a documentary. They could be the covers of air vents. They look aerodynamic and the design would reducew the chance for the sea to enter if the ship encountered very rough seas.

Len, I first saw your QM2 on www.modelingmadness.com and was impressed! I came here and, lo and behold, here it is again! The model looks great and I'm going to start looking for this one myself. I think I'd like to add some deck chairs, benches, and people to make it stand out even more. Can't find any in 1/400 scale though...only in 1/350 and they are geared more for the Titanic. Will keep looking though. Great Job! Dave Dave

Perhaps you can rearrange, uh, convert the deck chairs for the Titanic into chairs for the Queen Mary II. At such a small scale, you might not even need to do that--a 1/350-scale deck chair can't be much more than 1/8 inch long and it probably wouldn't make that much difference in the long run. At any rate, it might save you the frustration of trying to find the right chairs for the QM2.

Nice build! What are those shark-fin-shaped structures on the deck forward of the main superstructure?

Nice work Len!  I just picked one of these up yesterday and am looking forward to getting  started on her.  Did you paint the white areas or leave them alone?  Do you have any construction advice?

 Thanks..
