www.segelschiffsmodellbau.com/f916-Skaphee-ein-griechisches-Schwammtaucherschiff.html Hello Thanasis, I tried to copy and paste the link. It did not work. So I wrote it down above. It works. Now you can look at the building log. Click on Baubericht to get started So it was you, who wrote the article! What a small community! I was on vacation in France and bought the magazine by chance. Good luck I did! When you click on the pictures you can enlage them. Best regards Jörg

Hello Thanasis, So you have already seen my Agios Nikolaos. The world of boat modellists is really small indeed. I found the plans for the Skarphee in a French boatmodelling magazine and it was initially built by a member of naftotopos gr., Mr G. Bouzounis. If you want to learn more about it look here: Forum für historischen Schiffsmodellbau und Geschichte then go to: Bauberichte (Building logs) and then to: 1890 Skarphee , ein griechisches Schwammtaucherschiff Down at the bottom left handside is a device to select the language you want. I tried to attach a few pictures of the models here but it did not work. For me, Thanasis, it is a great pleasure to see these boats on the water and watch them sail along. They are ever so beautiful and colourful and render an atmosphere that no motorized model will ever attain. As you said in your post # 49 modellists buy kits of the Victory and such, they don´t fancy the beauty of a littte workboat. The book by Damianidis that you mentioned is out of print and just in Greek, bad luck! Regards Jörg

^Hello Thanasis, I read your article with great interest and want to congratulate you to this superb model. Greek boats are seldom built since it is difficult to optain suitable plans. I build working models and meanwhile have got two Greek sponge diving boats. One is a double ended perama which has a great likelihood to your tsernikoperama. She sails very well and is fast. The second is a skarphee as it was built on the island of Symi. The hull looks very much like an Arabian dow. As the hull is fairly deep, the model needs some wind to get her going.

So this time hardly any (dummy) guns and barred gun ports. A very different appearence, indeed. greetings Joerg
