  1. 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
  2. Then I give you the next one Slightly different type of ship I took the liberty to edit out both flags and name.... Jan
  3. Polyphemus was the cyclops that Odysee came across on one of his journeys. Jan
  4. Homer never met those Martians. And actually, the connection wioth Jasons Cyclops isn't that loose Jan
  5. So far the good news. What's the better news? Destruction again?? Jan
  6. 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
  7. Llittle green men from outer space are coming..... Jan
  8. Nautilus?? Jan
  9. something austro-hungarian, perhaps? Torpedoboat?? Although, I can't quite understand the use of those 'sidewings(?) on the hull. Stability? Jan
  10. 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
  11. does that mean submarine tender? Jan
  12. She seems to have a massive search-light up front.... Jan
  13. Did some ratlines this weekend. Ratlines almost done by now, just the other side of the mizzen to do...... Jan
  14. Your source is wrong. This is definitely the Aurora Jan
  15. I'm pretty sure it's aurora.... Potemkin (the 'mutiny'-one) was a battleship, with much heavier superstructure Jan
  16. 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
  17. I would call it a major milestone.... it looks fabulous. Jan
  18. Not the best of pictures, but I'm still working on him....
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. I think we need a german name.. Jan
  22. Looks very much so, but...is that one already launched? The order was granted june last year to Thyssen-Krupp.... Jan
  23. I think you nailed her: http://www.southernexplorations.com/galapagos-island-travel/cruises/Grace.htm Jan
  24. Kind of norwegian Fjord in the background, or is it just aussi-land? Jan
