Description

A ship as an advertising tool

Promotional sets were created for companies that wanted a model of their own as a marketing item, and so they often carry the livery of a real business. Silja Line is a ferry operator known for its large ships on the Baltic Sea. This set shows such a ferry in miniature and is therefore one of the pieces that was not found in ordinary toy shops. For collectors, this special background is exactly what gives the set its appeal.

White and blue on the water

The main colours are white, blue, trans-light blue and black. That gives the look of a passenger ship: a white superstructure, blue accents on the hull, and transparent pieces for windows and glazing. Black provides contrast, for example on the funnel or hull details. The colour choice is plain but coherent, and the white and blue bricks can later be reused for other ships or buildings that also call for simple colours.

376 pieces, 61 kinds

The 376 pieces are spread over only 61 different parts, so the ship is built mostly from repeating elements. That suits a long hull assembled from many identical bricks and plates. There are no minifigures, which makes the ferry a pure display model. The exact breakdown with quantities and pictures is in the parts list, with which you can quickly compare your own stock and see what a complete copy should contain, which also helps when buying a used one.

Rebuild or reuse

Finding a promotional set can take patience, which is why the parts list is especially handy for collectors: you can see what belongs in a complete copy. If you own the set, add it to your collection and ask “What can I build?” to see which further ship models your bricks could make. That way the ferry either stays intact as a whole or supplies material for new ideas, whichever you prefer.
