  1. I always do that: edit out the name, and post the unedited one Jan
  2. This one is not difficult (certainly not for Dutch children ) @Anja: I want her real name! Jan
  3. It could be Bordein, a UK-build paddle steamer for the upper Nile (1862) Jan
  4. Anja...... That's not a ship! That's a floating canteen!! Jan
  5. It is indeed Dutch, and it is HrMs Gelderland. Jan
  6. OK, this time it's not a tug. Jan
  7. I' ll start looking for a tiny Dutch tug Jan
  8. They call it a the Starship were Jim lives....... It's huge, and as far as I'm concerned, the frontend is as ugly as the back end.... Jan
  9. Could be a party boat or a flating house.... Still searching for a boxy floating thing. Jan
  10. I'm sure you'll break your promise before this day is over Jan
  11. Yeah, but where oh where does Jim live..... Ferry or not, she's not a beauty Jan
  12. 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
  13. That's her: a replica of one of the ships of the first Dutch settlers, hence the Dutch name (onrust means restlessness) Jan
  14. There is quite a lot of her on the net. Perhaps you'll learn something. Jan
  15. Her is the next one. Not too diffcult I guess. Jan
  16. Than it has to be the USS President .... Jan
  17. naming them one by one: USS Constellation? Jan
  18. But in both blocks, 21 as well as 24, the hole is closest to the seizing which is used to strop the block. Jan
  19. Always thought that drawplates were mainly for producing treenails....
  20. hmmm......too late again
  21. 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
  22. Another first rate: HMS Duke of Wellington
  23. 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
  24. 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
