Last one...

I know the flags aren't "historically" correct together - f.e. the ensign-flag on the stern is an invention by Playmobil (it's colours seem to hint somewhat to the Republic of France while the symbology is rather Royal of nature) and the blue flag with white cross on the fore topgallant mast is accurate for a French merchant vessel before the Revolution, but not for a warship after ca. 1789 - but I wanted to equip the ship with original Playmobil flags.

Believe me when I say: there has NEVER been a ship more beautiful and well-proportioned, ever. And I have seen many... A superb customizing job!

Excellent: Geobra, please look and imitate!

Thanks for sharing, Erwin!

Cheers,

It is beautiful! And HUGE. No, HUMONGOUS!

Love the sailors too (and NOT barefeet!) :)

Thanks for posting!

Great rear end, streamlined, big guns, well proportioned.. its a beauty alright.  ;)


Nice to see the ship in action with the clickies on top. Really gives a sense of scale.  :)

Thanks for the extra pictures, Erwin.  I can see still more why you had to have that ship!
