    amateur got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Arabia 1856 by Cathead - FINISHED - Scale 1:64 - sidewheel riverboat from the Missouri River, USA   
    No, that was not the point I did not understand.
    I meant to say that when I look at that painting, I am struggling to see the back-end of the ship, so I don't understand how you conclude from that painting that there is not stepping in the superstructure.
    Even more: the superstructure just behind the paddle wheel does step back...
     
    Is there anything in the aerials made during the excavation that does give a clue in where the superstructure stood on the deck?

    Hi Dan,
     
    Good luck with your health!
     
    I guess your sydney-version will be better than the Canon-free download version?
    That one has stairs without even trying to do individual steps

    Actually, I don't see how you can conclude on the stepping back aft based on an artist impression of the from side.....
     
    having said that: I like the stepped back version more thatn the other one. Although a profit maximizing owner perhaps disagrees....

    amateur got a reaction from peveka in Prins Willem by amateur - Corel - 1:100   
    Hi all,
     
    I need to clean my desk, and to make some pics, but today the unthinkable has happened: I tied the last knot on my rigging.
     
    Now, I need to make some sawdust for the remaining stuff:
     
    I still need:
    - guns
    - gunport lids (including hinges, rings and ropes)
    - lanterns
    - anchors
    - anchorrope
    - anchor buoys
    - flags
     
    Not on the home stretch by far....

    amateur got a reaction from mtaylor in SPERWER by KORTES - FINISHED - 1:30 scale - Friescheboeier Yacht   
    Those are very nice birds!
     
    I like your attention to the very small details.
    just a question: you showed us a drawing in your fist post, but that drawing does not have this level of detail (at least not in the versions I know)
    Where did you get all the additional detail: from an other drawing, or did you just eyeball those on the basis of pictures??

    Note, this is the length of exact 90 mm. So, try to look at the real size on the screen to get the real impression.
