I first thought of SS Maheno, but that's not her... Jan

Hi Doreltomin, Since you apear to have a book on the subject ( ) can you enlighten me with respect to the question: what made the French decide for ships with such an extreme tumble-home? Jan
-
Hi Michiel, Is the full track visible for those not registered on the other forum? Jan
-
Nope, this is pretty much how it was done 'in real'. (apart from the fact that in reality, the block was stropped in a separate strop, with two eys (one on top, one on the bottom). Too small to reproduce at this scale. Jan
-
Actually, the Billings kit (although not a very good kit by itself) is making a fairly good model of the Wasa. Hull dimiensions seem to be better than eg. the Corel and Sergal-versions. Jan
-
It's not british, so French would be an option. btw: what was the reason the French went for these extreme ships? Large tumblehome on many of them, in this case a very low freeboard, combined with a very high superstructure. Jan
-
I don't know how the Corel is for the Wasa, but for a contemporaneous ship (Prins Willem) they are sometimes completely off.... Quite a few modern (English) rigging solutions, in stead of 17th century rigging. Jan

The whole anchor on one knot..... I don't think that will hold in a rough sea.... Jan
-
It looks very much like an Cyclops-class coastal defence iron-clad... Jan

i was surprises to. See a ship so deep below thesurface. quite uncommon inour parts of THE world And yes, my pic isoneof Waker <(ex Solo, ex SmitHouston)) jan Ps i dontliketingonanipad.......

Again slightly too early (before confirmation of my answer), the next one. She had three names over her life, all with their own, very distinctive colourscheme Jan

oops: Arabia Jan

When I realised it was an excavation of a sidewheel steamer, it turned out to be relatively easy. Even without a google-pic search Jan

I guess because he's otherwise loosing track of were he has been spraying his top-coat. (resultingin an uneven finish, because of the colour difference between the base coat and the top-coat.) But that's a mere guess, I'm also not a paint person..... Jan

Wreck between the mountains? Noah's ark would be too obvious I think ..... Jan

wat mooi...... je zou er stil van worden Jan

I'm going to give this one to Werik: Actually it is HrMs Heimdall, one of the steam powered gun boats of the Dutch navy. She looks a bit like an accomaodatioship, as she was refitted as mine-sweeping vessel. (were the gun used to be, a kind of 'shed-like' accomodation was erected.) With gun they looked like this: Jan
-
Nope, but again, correct class. Jan
-
Close, very, very close.... She's not an accomodation ship. Jan
-
Just before I was to turn of my PC. Something completely different. Jan
-
Giving her build-date and builder is as good as tellin gshe was named SS Namdo Wrecked by a seamine in 1944 Jan
-
1910-1920 tramper? Quite a lot to choose fomr, so give us some time Jan

??

Unless Werik is an alias for Piet, in that case it's O19 Jan
-
Andy, why do you think so? I wouldn't dare to do so Actually the picture I found was labelled "USS Sable (sistership of USS Wolverine)" As the pic is rather widespread on the internet, I did a left-right flip to make google-picture-search slightly more difficult. Jan
