Actually, I see a stylized daisy.....

My first idea was 'button'. Can it be the remnants of a metal button, dating some time (but not too long time) back?

Jan

As I understood, it is a fictitious name, for a ship based on real contenporeneous drawings. I tried to locate the drawings in the NMM-archive, but there are so many that I did not succeed (so far)

Jan

With regard to thebon et in the main sail, I would say the artist did his job: you can see the bonnetn both sides, part of it being hidden by the dragon/wolf. (Would not guess that being a dog)

And going by the way the artist draws the fishy things in the water, perhaps the detailing in the ship might not be acurate to the smallest detail

Jan

Very nice barrels. Pewter figurines used to be rather popular till someone found out than neither the production nor the playing with it was not without some health hazards

Perhaps your hippie-dude uses resin nowadays.  Have seen some very nice results with that.

Sometimes Ithink those soldiers were very, very tired of war, and rather proud of their superior machines. In that case 'telling the enemy' doesn't count anymore, telling others on how the machine operates still does.

Jan

That is not true, although you don't see the individual parts, you do see the difference between a model with and without PE. Espcially when done with care, like yours.

and if only seen on pics, we can only encourage you to place more pics

Most of the small scales here are warships. Itis niceto see something slightly more peacefull

Here you can see the shoulder-rests of the gun. (I think different type of gun/sub, but the principle is the same: the rests help to steady and point the rather heavy gun)

Hello Yves,

I hardly dare to ask the question, but isn't the shoulderrest of the smaller gun upside down? I thought those brackets should rest on the shoulder of the gunman.

Jan

Thanks, was going to ask: with or without topgallants nad with or without bezaan 

Jan

What type of rig will she get?

Jan

What's wrong with the grass? It is green, and looks healthy. That's mre than you can say about my grass......

the model is getting along nicely. Fluits are the more difficult togetitright: nasty roundings everywhere....

Jan

Isn't that too easy for you, just  buying near perfect guns, without any PE to add to it?

Is your PE deck glued? It looks as if there is a little gap between deck and the underlying structure.

You mean basswood?

Jan

You have my attention.

long, very long time ago I ordered some drawings at Smit-international to do a modern tug. I ended up with Billings Rotterdam. The drawings are still lying around somewhere, fading I guess.

Jan

I was (again) looking at your last development. 

Wondering: what paint does he use, and how is the guilding done? It is not flashy gold-leaf, but is also not just yellow ochre-paint.

Jan

Nope, just curious when you mentioned the problem.

Jan

Sorry, I thought they were hosted here, as the link-address that pops up hovering over those question marks is something like this:

https://modelshipworld.com/uploads/monthly_09_2014/post-96-0-67177900-1412022422.jpg

That refers to a non-existent file, but with msw in the address.... That made me think 'should be visible, but is not....'

Jan

The funny thing is: those are jpg’s hosted at MSW. (The two main reaons for problems) They should be visible, I think.....

Jan

At 1:64 definitely too big for both my bench and my house. (probably also too big for my bankaccount  )

But a wonderfull model it will make...

 I'm still hoping for someone going into the McNarry/Philip Reed sized kits .

I'm not a good enough builder (and have far too litte machinery) to go into that direction by myself, but that size would fit both bench and house....

(not sure about the bankaccount, though: Chris already explained to me a long time ago that smaller models do not come at a substantially lower price)

Jan

I don't think I understand you question.

when opening a thread, the software places you at the first unread post. That sounds reasonable to me. I would not like to go back and search for the last post I read. When a log has more pages, you can skip to the last one by using the pages-numbers and arrows next to it (single arrow:next page, double arrow:last page)

Or do I miss your point completely?

Jan

In the dutch navy we had protected and armoured cruisers.

Protected cruisers had an armoured deck (pantserdek kruisers in Dutch) armoured cruisers had an armoured belt at the waterline. (Pantserkruiser in Dutch)

 My favourit dutch protected cruiser is the Gelderland-class. No model available  

Slighty later than the german cruiser described above.

There is a very nice cardmodel of beowulf (by hmv, scale 1:250). Is on my wishlist.

I guess you are aware of the german forum dedicated to the Kaiserliche Marine?

(Edit: I checked: unless your name is used by someone else you are  )

Jan

I had decided that my house became too small for another dull size wooden model, but now I am seriously, very seriously tempted indeed.....

How many months do I have to turn the missus around?

Jan

Have you seen  the new Amati prototype 1:64?

Now that would really give you the possibility to add small details.

Jan

 would you please stop mixing pics of the real bike in between pics of your your model? 
 

honestly: for some parts it is only for the background that we can see that it is a model

great work

Jan
