He made room for it in advance, so I think he will.

Jan

I know the story (at least the MSW1-version of it)

Had a discussion with him on the place where to find drawings of both Java and O19 in the Dutch archives.

Jan

It is indeed HrMs Java down south.

You're pretty good in searching. Need to dig a bit deeper.....

Perhaps some obscure laker

Jan

No, not a tug. World has indeed turned upside down :)

Next one will be a tug.

Jan

Next one

Bingo: schooner reylands, rebuild as a brig (hispaniola) for the movie treasure Island.

Jan

Searching for ship+movie ends up in lots of pics of starship Enterprise, titanic or horation hornblower.

All three are not correct, I presume....

Jan

PS or pirates of the carribean, but it's certainly not the plack pearl

This will go into the anals of modelbuilding as the best Royal Caroline ever.

Jan

Sure you don't use Google picture search ?

It is Finland.

Jan

you should be able to recognize her

Actually, you're about halfway, by recognizing her as a dutch tug

Jan

Here's  my next one for you.

Jan

And don't stop too often, or you'll discover that every time you start is just like the first time....

Half an hour every three weeks isn't the right way to go (speaking from personal experience)

Jan

?

was there ever a movie on Minnesota?

It's the Russians: Potemkim

Jan

Yeah, that's what I discovered: Titanic has four funnels

(but she was also in a famous movie   )

Jan

Or is the name of the file just a red herring ....

Jan

You should rename your file before uploadingh,

otherwise it's too simple

Jan

This game is rapidly changing into 'find were the name is'-game  

And as you have only one 'non-laker' you decide to concede.

We understand .....

Jan

I also used Bob's method.

I found it useful to mark the centre of the dowel with a small pinhole before starting the tapering.

That helped to keep the whole thing more or less centered.

Jan

Yep, you've seen her before.

Thereofre, I should not accept Noordzee as an answer

However, as Rode zee (which is the one in the picture) and Noordzee are completely identical (although guys who actually have sailed on her tell that there are differences between the sisters), feel free to present us a great laker

Jan

it is

Jan

Great! (and large with the masts on...)

Jan

Ah, that's long ago I have posten one.
Here it comes (dont tell Andy/realworkingsailor, he will not like this one )

First I thought mediterranean, but then I realized: it looks like a Dutch or German 'kotter'.

going through a list of sail Amsterdam and Sail de Ruyter, I came across her name: Thalassa

Jan

I have way to go.....

I used to be a rear admiral
