That is a beautiful result! Can't wait to see her in full colour Jan

Sorry to disappoint you: 1. the kit-manufacterer in the Maritime museum has gone out of business 2. the Hoving book is just sold-out in new, so you have to go for the second-hand version. (mind you, there are some ridiculous prices being asked....) 3. Valkenisse and Zeehaan are about 150 years apart. The system of the rigging is comparable, but there is certainly no one-to-one correspondence... Utrecht is a nice ship: I once made a couple of pics of the 'real thing': https://picasaweb.google.com/101597346346552139735/UtrechtsStatenjacht# (mainly details, as someone on MSW1 was doing a cardboard version of her, and liked to have some pics of the scroll-work, as the work as build, differs from the work as drawn.)

When the gun recoils (jumping or not ), do both breachropes have the same amount of slack, or is the thinner breachrope slightly longer, and just the safe guard if the thick one fails? Jan

Their latest news dates back from 2011. Don't think anything will come from there.... Jan

These ships I Always think 'white star' Beautiful ship, btw. Jan

Thanks! Sounds reasonable. It was the size and even more, the model if the beam that made me wonder. Jan
-
That massive beam you milled, would that have been one piece in the original, or three parts bolted together? Jan
-
Ah, I understand. Mine is from 1956, no high ceilings, nor any spacious spare bedrooms..... Even watering and fertilizers didn't help to grow it any bigger Jan

And he claims he can store a couple of the in his hallway upstairs.... Just wondering in what type of house he lives. My next build has to be a 1:200 scale, as my storage is virually nil..... Jan

I was also thinking Krassin (I was referring to this diorama by Jim Bauman: http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery/misc/icebreaker/Krassin-700-jb/ ) Jan

Nice! Jan

The last one is not correct: when an iron ring increases temperature, both the inside as well as the outside diameter increases. Is a nice experiment at highschool: copper sfere with a diameter slightly below the inner diameter of an copper ring. Sfere won't go through Heat the ring, and the sfere will fall through. My guess is a more violent explosion as the powder heats. Jan
