Thank you very much for your praise :thumbs_up_1:

For the fun of it I superimposed the very first photograph of S.M.S. WESPE, an engraving that obviously was based on this photograph, and a somewhat �photoshopped� shot of the model (without spending to much time on that):

� perhaps I shouldn�t have done this, as I now discover things that could have been done better ... :whistle:

I am surprised how many 'clicks' this project still receives after more than a year after completion - unless these are trawling robots.

I still have to actually complete the display case with an etched lable, but did not get around to do this yet.
