amateur got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Hr. Ms. Java 1925 by Piet - FINISHED - Pacific Cross Roads - 1:350 - PLASTIC - Light Cruiser of Royal Netherlands Navy as she was in 1942
Hi Piet,
I guess this is the end of your tweaking? Or do you still see room for improvement.
Judging by the pics I think you have nailed it: Ship, water, smoke, action. Great model.

Hi Piet,
the sea is quite good. The larger bow wave does add to the diorama.
Ans as the others said: smoke is getring better and better. I wagerly await the end of your further experiments!

I took some time to read this one. This guy is a wizard with cotton and chicken wire.
(Although my guess is that a major part of the wizardry is not in the cotton, but in his setup for the pics)

Did some searchin gin the navy foto-archive.
Found three pics (Piet without doubt has them on his computer).
two of Java firing (one at daytime at full speed, one at night, and looking at the water: without speed at all)
and one of De Ruyter showing the burning hot gasses leaving the gun. IN the night-pic I can't discover whether or not we only see the center of the smoke-ball, or the total. IN that case, it is a fairly compact smoke-ball. Comparing it to the other two, I guess we see only the core of the smoke, that is lighter by the hot gasses.

Nope, they don't need the sail to run.
The sails are only needed in case of low wind speed.
@ Marcus: are you going to build an interior, or will this be an "outside only" ?
Can you tell us what the mechanics of the mill are? Is it working using a 'water-screw' or a 'wheel' ?
@Piet: do you mean this one in Ter Haar?
I like Dutch windmills. Quite a lot of differences between them, depending on region, function, and age.
I also like these few rather sturdy ones (this one is Zeddam, in the eastern part of the country)
