  1. Could be a party boat or a flating house.... Still searching for a boxy floating thing. Jan
  2. I'm sure you'll break your promise before this day is over Jan
  3. Yeah, but where oh where does Jim live..... Ferry or not, she's not a beauty Jan
  4. In that case, it's Flemish Piet, van harte gefeliciteerd, en nog vele jaren! Cutting planks and a glass of wine, what else does one need Jan
  5. That's her: a replica of one of the ships of the first Dutch settlers, hence the Dutch name (onrust means restlessness) Jan
  6. There is quite a lot of her on the net. Perhaps you'll learn something. Jan
  7. Her is the next one. Not too diffcult I guess. Jan
  8. Than it has to be the USS President .... Jan
  9. naming them one by one: USS Constellation? Jan
  10. But in both blocks, 21 as well as 24, the hole is closest to the seizing which is used to strop the block. Jan
  11. Always thought that drawplates were mainly for producing treenails....
  12. Hi Kevin, Don't tell the others, but you' re allowed to put all your lines in one posting btw: I still didn't realize that she was French. I Always connect these stripy things to good old England Jan
  13. Another first rate: HMS Duke of Wellington
  14. Just a question: did any one already see this kit, or a (prototype) build in real? I can only find the photo-shopped version of the model. And the 'official' Billings site doesn't seem top be very much updated recently...... Jan
  15. These look much better!, little remark: You should make sure you're blocks are the correct side up in the strop: the little hole should in most cases be nearest to the strop. Jan
  16. Yeah, and the funnel doesn't match. I know, but you can never know, do you Jan
  17. And the problem is: searching for canadian tanker, makes google think I'm looking for a Candian tank, and starts showing many pics of our liberators. Jan
  18. No you did not, but one way or the other I have the feeling that som eof us use google pic search to help them out. As soon as someone puts up a pic of their own, it takes a bit longer She' s 1940-ies tanker, but I can't find her company... Something in me keeps calling Canada, but as you introduced her with a grin, perhaps not..... Jan
  19. No, this model of schouw nearly never had a well, and if they had, it was located midships, were the living area is on this one. On the original wooden shouw, there was just a wooden bench at the back, no well. Nowadays, these boats are steel-hulled, and almost always motorized. The motor is in the back, just below the bench. In other ways: it is most probably the engine bay. (BB just didn't like to put a propeller on the hull, but they retained the engine bay just in case ) Jan These
  20. The black-white-grey tunnel is a red herring I presume Apart from the funnel colours: it could be an 1940-ies exxon tanker.... Jan
  21. Hey! spoilsport, I almost found it Now you've to post agina (or is Andy allowed to post half a ship as he named the other one correctly?) Jan
  22. That's a nice one! Is it from cardboard, of is it wood you use for these deck-details? Jan
