A Model Subject

Like many great passenger ships including her 'mother' CANBERRA and namesake  ORIANA has found herself the subject of model makers often as shown below a one off large scale model which has a price to match the large size or as a much smaller scale and mass produced item availble to purchase on board.

The above model was listed on Ebay online auction site several years ago, and it's asking price reflected the size at around a £1000 ( 1,360 €)
 Smaller models are far more common although in this size occasionally a rarity will be for sale such as this pewter model more in the style of Costa Cruises or MSC it's asking price also much lower at £48 (65€)

At present the model shown below and produced in the late 1990's is currently for sale for £39(53€) and is on a scale of  1/1250

 Ceramic models of the ship have been availble to purchase on board for many years such as the two different ones below the first was avaible up until 2006/7
While the second was availble from 2008 onwards the examples below being from the collection of Madeira based ship enthusiast and collector Sergio Ferreira.

Since her 2011 refit ORIANA herself has also featured a large model of herself on board situated behind the bar of The Crow's Nest it replaces the large scale model of one P&O's R class ships which had been in place since her entry into service in April 1995.

Highley detailed the model could easily be an owner's or shipyard model.

There have also been interesting models made by private individuals such as this one which was shown in the May 1997 edition of Marine Modelling magazine.
