  1. something austro-hungarian, perhaps? Torpedoboat?? Although, I can't quite understand the use of those 'sidewings(?) on the hull. Stability? Jan
  2. 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
  3. does that mean submarine tender? Jan
  4. She seems to have a massive search-light up front.... Jan
  5. Did some ratlines this weekend. Ratlines almost done by now, just the other side of the mizzen to do...... Jan
  6. Your source is wrong. This is definitely the Aurora Jan
  7. I'm pretty sure it's aurora.... Potemkin (the 'mutiny'-one) was a battleship, with much heavier superstructure Jan
  8. 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
  9. I would call it a major milestone.... it looks fabulous. Jan
  10. Not the best of pictures, but I'm still working on him....
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. I think we need a german name.. Jan
  14. Looks very much so, but...is that one already launched? The order was granted june last year to Thyssen-Krupp.... Jan
  15. I think you nailed her: http://www.southernexplorations.com/galapagos-island-travel/cruises/Grace.htm Jan
  16. Kind of norwegian Fjord in the background, or is it just aussi-land? Jan
  17. I thought Steve's remark was a hint, but I coudn't figure out what kind of hint. Curiosity to the hint made me a sinner..... Jan
  18. Today I've been a spoilsport myself Jan
  19. I didn't udnerstand, as I don't speak Gaelic (also done some pic search in the meantime) Jan
  20. spoilsport Looks like a civilian in Amry service (at least, I think I can see a gun on the aft deck) Jan
  21. There is a name on her, but I can't read it.... Something starting with an L and a J.... Jan
  22. I think you're correct Unless the guy who put the colours into the pic, also added a name...... Jan
  23. Henri IV, perhaps? Jan
  24. Tumblehome screams "Frenchie" Jan
