Hello Carl,

electronic images have a internal paramerter called "orientation".
When the picture is shown upsidedown or rotated by 90°, you have to delete this parameter.
You can do this with most of the programs for imageprocessing.
At IrfanView you can configure this feature at the "save-options".

Regards

Wiwo

My computer - only 5 years old - took a fall while powered up and is behaving much like I did after flying over the handlebars of my bicycle.

I have it up and running for brief intervals and took advantage of one of these to order a new 'puter which is supposed to show up on Monday.

I have been fussing with the hull sides, trying to fit them well and then doing side artwork so that I can get the sides put on. Not much worth showing of that.

Monday will be one of those days of loading Rhino and PSP and then transferring files from the cranky old machine to the happy new one!

Old computers can be painful.

Well Fred, I guess that you are my last true friend! New computer, la de da ... I cannot get into this site with my centuries old name and password.

Keep trying. And here I am. With nothing to show.

Another life attack involving cars, washer and air conditioning.

I hope you get through these life obstacles and can resume work on the Liberté Carl.

Hello Carl,

As far as I know, you have been away from this kind of work for quite some time.
Here is another idea. It might be good to work on something less complex to get back into it.
My suggestion: How about a French Armored Ram? (like the one described in the attached image).
I love these things, and I wish I had time to tackle something like this (maybe some day).
I have not researched these, but there are quite a few interesting ones I have never seen anyone build.
I’m sure Renaud has quite a bit of information and photos.

Mike

Stay chill and we will wait.

I'm still alive, kicking and dealing with the horsecrap that our administration is shoving down my throat.

Oddly, I have been looking back at Magenta and have arrived at a fix that will make me happy to finish her. Now... do I go backwards or forwards?

Whatever, my QUESTION now is, what is the ship that was too wet and had her forecastle raised in a manner that led to the odd bow geography of WWII British cruisers and BBs?

I thought/think that it was referenced in one of my Friedman books but cannot find it. I have little hair left and am tearing at it!

Can anyone give me the ship and a reference in a book? I have many others than the Friendmans.

Many thanks.

Carl

The last photo posted of Magenta appears to be from August of 2012. . . .7 1/2 years ago.
What condition is the project in today?

The British Ceres class were the wet ships and their successors, the Carlisle class, had the 'trawler' bow fitted. The Ceres class were not modified, however, and kept the low bow until the end of their careers.
