Hi Anja, Google 'laker', and you'll see that they have all something in common: kind of boxy appearance. Made to fit in the lcks of the canals between the lakes. (compare it to the Dutch 'motorspits' that is made to the specification of the locks in the Willemsvaart). As Andy is living in the lake area, many (if not all) of his mystery-ones are from the great lakes. Most of the Canadian but some of the from that other country. Jan PS it's unfortunate that MSW1 disappeared, I've seen this Andy pic before.....

Ah, well.... still on line It is Snellius. Phaps I should have used a pic in a somewhat less Dutch atmosphere
-
next upload, and then I'm off-line for the next 18 hours. Jan

Is it arthur atkinson?

laker again

hmmmm...... Problem is: I don't live near the water, so I can't use my own pics of totally unknown vessels... Jan
-
I know, but it takes me too much time to find one that can keep you busy for more than ten minutes Jan
-
Actually not, but I know you know.... And as we are into the weird shaped vessels. Here's an other one.... Jan

Jaeger arrow

You'll need to build an extension to your house..... The kit looks impressive. What is the quality of the laser-cutting? Jan
-
Ah, you think we can't find out that this isn't a car transporter, nor a roro ship of any kind. It's just somthing else. Don't think I can't find her. Something to do with a bow? Jan

Mind you: well into the 17th century there was no 'national' navy: both admiral;ity (navy) as VOC (and for a short period WIC) where organised on a regional level (the VOC called them 'kamers' (chambers)). There was coordination within the regions, and very little between them. The flags used may not be as standardized as we think they were. The same with respect to colours: there has been no standar colours well into the 19th century. ONly then the standard colours were defined. Don't pay too much attention to red, orange and anything in between...... Jan

And for a car-shipper it even does resemble a ship (a bit) Jan
-
Oh no... lakers again Jan

Mind: the colourbands do not go one-to-one to the thickstuff. So when Alexandru is using black wood for the thickstuff, his black bands will be higher at the bow than the actual black striped on the hull are... Jan

There is at least one Dutch internetshop who has (part of) the MS-kits in their shop. http://www.modelbouwdekombuis.nl/ Perhaps that lowers the transport-costs? Not sure whether they do UK deliveries They take paypal as method of payment Jan

Sorry guys, I had a very busy weekend.... It is the wooden mock-up MUroc Maru, used to train fighter pilots. Jan

Never mind Here she is... I am not quite sure whether she fits the rules for the game Jan

Hey Andy, That's what I said three posts earlier !! Jan
-
hmmm. start ed life as a dreadnought-like ship. Bearn. Jan
-
Looks like an aircraft cairier to me Jan
-
Yup, that's him. Jan (due to this post, my rank increased. I became a lieutenant. Drinks on me )
-
And I posted the edited version, Yeah, I think I will be OK this time. But I feel kind of stupid: investing time for a nice ship to show, and forgetting to double check on the visibility of the name..... Jan
-
Next try. I don't see any names on this one. Jan
