I think there was something names after a sint or so. Can't trace him back now..... problem is: I guess we can find it on a russian wiki-site, but I can't read those cirilic characters. Jan

Other question: I see that you rig the tackle of the backstay startting from the upper block, resulting in the running end going upwards were you belay it tot the backstay. Istn't that a bid uneasy when using: it would seem to me that strarting from the lower block results in a tackle for whcih the runnin gpart goes downward and can be secured at deck level of on the lower block.... (or isn't it the backstay tackle?) Jan

One question: will you be able to recreate these curvatures with the real wales? Jan

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

Take care! We'll be here when you return. Jan

Sorry, You're right: checked it in Witsen, and the triangle part should indeed be on the outside of the stem. Jan
-
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

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
