    Hi Andy, I think the breech isn't as deep as you think.. I tried to find a pic, but can't find a nice one. A sfar as I can find it has a full or semi automatich breechlock/loading device; consisting of a sliding breachlock and no 'doorlike' contruction. Some pics are here http://www.network54.com/Forum/330333/thread/1125169210/Bofors+88mm+guns or http://www.network54.com/Forum/330333/thread/1127665400/Wilton-Fijenoord-Bofors and http://www.network54.com/Forum/330333/message/1143277658/HIH+Siderius+8,8cm+L45+submarine+guns Jan btw Freeks pics show the gun from O24, one of the few remaining HIH Siderius guns

    A gunner on the seat. Would be nice, only to see how that fits: the wheel is between teh seat and the footrest, and it seems to me that these gunners should have awfully long legs. (picture of a gunner on the seat would do as well, I guess ) Jan btw: how on earth (sea?) did they remove the shells and seaweed from within the mechanism?

    Although a sailor could also consider this one: But, whatever you drink: she has become a beauty. Jan

    You're going the same route as Remco: an ever decreasing size of your details. The funny thing is: it triggers remarks on the 'larger' parts. I think you should consider redoing the eyebolt up front. The detailing on the other metalwork is far better..... Will the gun be sprayed in one colour, or will there be lettering and other details? Jan

    Sorry, You're right: checked it in Witsen, and the triangle part should indeed be on the outside of the stem. Jan
  12. amateur
    Hi Drazen, Are you sure about the stempost? (I'm not sure about the triangle part on the lower end of it.) Jan

    uhhhhmmmmm.... You're not applying your own standards to the rest of the world, aren't you? But, Piet should be able to live up against these standards. Real life ammunition would be even better. (btw what kind of ammo was used in these guns?) Jan

    beam engine paddle steamer. My first idea is great lakes. Hoever, the hull itself is not so 'lake-like' Jan

    Youseem to be strugling for understanding Jan

    It's not a red herring.... This former beauty is all over the web. She's in a very sorry state right now, I believe. Jan

    Strugling, can't find any refernce in the pic: how large (or should I say: tiny) is that wonderfull bell? Jan

    James Lees states that these breast stays were rather uncommon, but in their lay-out do look like 'normal' back stacks. (unfortunatedly, he does not give a picture to show the exact lay-out. ) Jan

    Wow, I didn't expect to see this after seeing that badly warped hull in your first picture..... Jan
  20. amateur
    Nice details! btw based on your age I would have expaected a picture like this one: http://www.geheugenvannederland.nl/?/nl/items/PKL01:F-66-034 Jan

    Sorry, thought you would have it. You can find the download here: http://dbnl.nl/tekst/saveas.php?filename=wits008arch01_01_scans.pdf&dir=wits008arch01_01&type=pdf Jan

    Hi Drazen, You should have a look at the famous book by Witsen: plate XXXV: there he shows that the main capstan is resting on a heave beam one deck below (the visser). The part which you see does not bear the full weight of the capstan. Witsen is not very clear in showing the construction of this visible part. The drawing suggest lengthwise (like in Wasa). Hoving follows that in his reconstruction of the Pinace. Also: picture 34 in the book by Winter: lengthsie, not resting on the schaarstooken, but on the deckbeams (and check Winters lengthwise cross section drawing: the main capstan (which is actuaal one deck lower than in ZP) has its visser restng on the keel, the forward capstan has it as a large piece of wood, attached under the deckbeams of the main deck.

    Your 'plastic flowerpot' very well deserves being there. Thanks for the pictures. I guess that being there was a day well spent. Jan

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
