amateur got a reaction from gjdale in HMS Kingfisher 1770 by Remcohe - 1/48 - English 14-Gun Sloop - POF
Hi Remco,
Since when is 'you can't see it in the final result' a valid argument for you?
(oops, did I say that ?? )

amateur got a reaction from NMBROOK in Name the Ship Game
Gentlemen,
I did a little bit of shopping: I flipped the picture.
It is indeed Gelderland (I posted her before in her new appearances.) She was a Dutch ship, build around the turn of the precvious century (HOlland Clas Cruiser, laid down in 1898), the Germans took her over and did a rebuild into a Flak ship (Niobe) aroudn 1943.
Her largest feat was the fact that she took Paul Kruger from South Afrika to Europe after the BoerWar.
The picture is taken in her period in life that she was fitted for being a target ship in 1941 (already in German service)

Gentlemen,
On the wrong track altogether. Although roughly correct datewise.

eeeeh, there should be a number on her side, which will speed up our process of identification.
It looks like the sloop's you mentioned before...
Black swan or something like it?

Google gives you the choice between iuploading the pic itself into search, or just the url of the picture you want to use.
copy-past the url of the pic as uploaded here was enough for this one.
The strange thing is that sometimes google still recognizes a heavily edited picture, and sometimes a very small change is enough to foll the program.
I still don't know what the determining factor is....

Gentlemen,
Can I interrupt your very entertaining morning talks?
just to confirm that she is indeed HrMs Overijssel (D815), one of the 8 Friesland class ships. (build in 1955, in active service till 1982)

Arklow Castle, launched in 1981, wrecked somewhere in the early nineties

btw Smit also did some ships for Arklow (around 1980, which fits in nively with my conclusion above)
Interesting question is: does the ship still exist?

Nope, I didn't check the large pic. And thinking of a Dutch wharf (Ferus Smit is indeed neer Grongingen: unbelievable that seegoing ships are build over there....) I was inclined to see red white and blue. Never thought of green and orange
And for those not understanding what I mean: check where the A is pointing (and zoom in, to understand why this wharf launches sideways)

on the other hand, let the searching be done by others is actually a very time-efficient way of searching

amateur got a reaction from dafi in HMS Victory by dafi - Heller - PLASTIC - To Victory and beyond ...
That tictac is really out of scale!
I like your 'minidiorama's' in the context of the larger build.
Are you going to put all 850 crewmembers onto your ship?

amateur got a reaction from GLakie in Surabaya by Piet - 1/80 - Mid 17th-Century VOC ship
Sorry to disappoint you:
1. the kit-manufacterer in the Maritime museum has gone out of business
2. the Hoving book is just sold-out in new, so you have to go for the second-hand version. (mind you, there are some ridiculous prices being asked....)
3. Valkenisse and Zeehaan are about 150 years apart. The system of the rigging is comparable, but there is certainly no one-to-one correspondence...
Utrecht is a nice ship: I once made a couple of pics of the 'real thing': https://picasaweb.google.com/101597346346552139735/UtrechtsStatenjacht#
(mainly details, as someone on MSW1 was doing a cardboard version of her, and liked to have some pics of the scroll-work, as the work as build, differs from the work as drawn.)

amateur got a reaction from Sjors in San Ildefonso by Sjors - FINISHED - OcCre - 1:70
Ah, I understand.
Mine is from 1956, no high ceilings, nor any spacious spare bedrooms.....
Even watering and fertilizers didn't help to grow it any bigger
