I'm still looking for the 'bad news', but apparently, this is not it. I just finished my ratlines today, I'm nog envying you at this scale, and at your level of perfection. Jan
-
Nice colour of the ratlines! Are you sure the last (=leftmost) shroud is straight? Jan
-
It gives a nice idea on the sizxe of the model, and the increadible detail. Fully rigged hooks the size of a ladybird... Jan
-
I know, but you'll probably have to wait over 24 hours if he confirms..... (I don't know whether or not I will be next to my PC tomorrow) So if he confirms, mine is already there, if he doesn't (which I seriously doubt, given his clues), ignore my previous post Jan

Then I give you the next one Slightly different type of ship I took the liberty to edit out both flags and name.... Jan

Polyphemus was the cyclops that Odysee came across on one of his journeys. Jan
-
Homer never met those Martians. And actually, the connection wioth Jasons Cyclops isn't that loose Jan
-
There was a torpedoboat in War of the Worlds, but.....that's not the one you're after, as there wasn't made a picture of her (yet ) Jan
-
Llittle green men from outer space are coming..... Jan
-
Nautilus?? Jan
-
something austro-hungarian, perhaps? Torpedoboat?? Although, I can't quite understand the use of those 'sidewings(?) on the hull. Stability? Jan
-
You didn't actually mention so, but it definitely shows ! Jan
-
You can just copy-past the URL from photo-bucket. Relatively quickly.... Isn't the main sail very small compared to the ship's size? Jan
-
does that mean submarine tender? Jan
-
She seems to have a massive search-light up front.... Jan
-
Did some ratlines this weekend. Ratlines almost done by now, just the other side of the mizzen to do...... Jan

Your source is wrong. This is definitely the Aurora Jan
-
I'm pretty sure it's aurora.... Potemkin (the 'mutiny'-one) was a battleship, with much heavier superstructure Jan

Interesting one. You don't see these ships modelled too often. Why do you date her 1942? As far as I know she was build 1937. 19/2 was her first action in combat. I guess you kow this one: http://www.maritiemdigitaal.nl/index.cfm?event=search.getsimplesearch&database=ChoiceMardig&needimages=true&searchterm=tromp%201937&allfields=&title=&keyword=&creator=&collection=&shipname=&invno=&museum=&startrow=1 and some pics here http://www.maritiemdigitaal.nl/index.cfm?event=search.getsimplesearch&database=ChoiceMardig&needimages=true&searchterm=1942%20tromp&allfields=&title=&keyword=&creator=&collection=&shipname=&invno=&museum=&startrow=1 Problem is: I don't know whether this is the Bofors you need.... http://www.maritiemdigitaal.nl/index.cfm?event=search.getsimplesearch&saveToHistory=1&database=ChoiceMardig&needImages=YES&searchterm=bofors+tromp Jan

We all started liking the pic, as it is incredible that you do these lashings in this scale, but that's not an answer to your question. I can only refer to Lees and Marqhuardt: they don't show these lashings. That does suggest that it is of a later period... (although, as you seem to be looking at a way to get as many knots in a line as possible, that is not the answer you are looking for ) Jan
-
Problem is that all those old pictures are coloured nowadays. I'm pretty sure this is a WW-I hospital ship. (couple of yesr ago we had all those red-white ships in the game at MSW-1) Jan

I think we need a german name.. Jan
