The Ship Model Forum

Hi guys!

Further to your much appreciated help in ID' ing the RN Battlecruisers et al...

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=34006

I acquired-from an auction house-in a job-lot of other stuff some more intersting negatives
on glass plates

these are very cool indeed

I have ID'd one of the ships--I reckon its HMS Nile....

but the other two are stumpers--although they look like they would make splendid models!!!!!

Anyhow--here are the images--once again cleaned and scanned for me by Jonathan Eastland-of Ajax pictures...

I have resized these copies for MW.com--I have the images MUCH larger ...

Very nice.

What's the story with the laundry in the rigging?

Hi Jim,

Very nice finds! To me the first ship looks like a member of the Forbin-class protected cruisers. The second one I would guess maybe an Ocean-class central battery ship?

Hi Jim,

fantastic pics. Thanks for sharing them

Cheers

Paul
