amateur

btw the sub is called hook and ladder

Jan

is/was it wawona?

(the ship, not the sub ofcourse)

Jan

is it victory chimes?

Good morning?

she's at the end of her working day at the moment

OK, and now looking for three masted floating things.

Jan

How on earth did you find that one?

just google ship, and looking at all two masted things??

Jan

By its looks a fairly standard two-masted schooner....

Not much of a clue in the background either

Jan

boats, ships, floating or submerging things,

sorry guys, I didn't want to offend anyone by my choice of words

Jan

Oh, now I see,

It's the base for the upperstructure...

That changes my question: why didn't you use this 'upward extension' over the full length of the ship?

Jan

Hi Piet,

I'm a bit strugling: most frames suggest a normal 'tube-like' hull, but the aft frames have an upward extension: what is that for?

I can see them on the frames-layout, but I can't relate them to the pictures of the sub itself....

Jan

You're on the right trail Jan.

I used to be an addict to this game since 2009

Jan

Next guess:

HMS Bacchante (1876)

iron screw corvette

black hull

straight bow

white upper line along the deck

three masted, fully rigged

Jan

Grrrr. now I have to go through all the HMS screw sloops or perhaps also the corvettes.

I'm sure it is one of those late 1880/90's three masted, fully rigged and an

(from this perspective invisible) funnel.

Jan

Without checking: HMS Dolphin?

Jan

I think the how-to is in the first pic.

Looks so simple, but......

Jan

Yes, for gold, yellow may be a better choice as a base.

Jan

That is really nice!

Jan

Seen any useless tools around lately?

or perhaps: seen from the positive: any very usefull tools??

Jan

Warping seems to be you major problem in this stage.....

She's going to be a large ship. unless, you're much smaller than I think ( ), your model is quite a bit larger than I expected.

I exepected it to be around a meter length or so....

I once saw a buildlog of someone filling in all the spaces between the bulkheads with some kind of isolationfoam, to make an

even surface, and make the forming and planking of the hull easier, without increasing much to the weight of the sub.

Jan

Nice!

Or: dat ziet er mooi uit!

Sometimes I think it's a pity that Billings has these ships not in their

original 'working boat' outfit, but in their converted yachtlike outfit.

It implies that the only detailing you could do to the kit is laced curtains (yes, definitely missing those ),

while they used to be ships used for quite a lot of small business: fishing, but also transport of (small) life stock.

Jan

That's the one.

Most Dutch sources name this ship as the Hydra. (but the ships are all very much alike)

Build as river-monitors, in service long after there armament was adequate .

Jan

Corel should be ashamed of their own kits....

Both the lion and the 'curved ladies' are alos part of the Prins Willem- kit.....

Why did you go for a yellow base colour for the lion?

I would have thought taking red as the base colour.....

Jan

Beautiful detail on the gallows cross-piece. Just for fun, I've attached the gallows cross-piece on the Navy Board version of the Swan class model in Annapolis. Note the beautiful beaded detail on the bottom edge. Difficult to do, I'd think, even with a scraper.

Greg,

Remco will probably take this as a challenge....

Jan

you have the type of ship correct, but there it stops.... 

Jan

Here's the next ship.

As sources are a bit contradictory, I'll take any name of the class as correct answer.
