          Hi John, you`ve got to downsize, which can be down with FastStoneResizer or other programs, best size 1500x1125 pixels, if image to big, Data-base error

            Hi John, noticed that no pictures being shown, am afraid that the connection broke down, so only images are shown in the preview...but size was ok, otherwise only error message instead of pictures....

                    By the colour scheme alone, she is modeled on a BEN liner of Leith.Scotland.

                    But,they never had a BEN ROSIE. - (artistic licence)

                    follow this link for a history of the company with photos: http://www.rhiw.com/y_mor/ben_line/ships_01.htm

                      Hello Rick, a friend of mind who has just past-away & the Ben Rosie model was among the rest of the model if I said 20-25 all unfinished, of them I wouldn't be Wong, & if you notes that it has a Yellow with tip Black stack not Ben Line funnel, I spent all w-end looking 4 it, I was going 2 buy it from his wife until I did some research on it, you see the card in the post as well, it fell out when we where looking @ it, it reads, My first view of this that it was a ben line steamer low & behold it is, (Haha) this is a family shipping company who are based on the east coast of Scotland, The value to be 300-500 if auction @ Aberdeen you could hit the jackpot, My friend went to London to buy it just before he past away. I saw it for the first time lust week, & his wife told me he paid 200 for it, if it was a Ben boat I would pay that for it?? poor guy got rip-off, still it's a nice model..

                        Hi JJ,Point taken,but I did say 'modelled on a BEN Line ship'-in fact the third photo along is showing the houseflag of the company - a single black anchor on a white background with a red border !!


                        Cheers,Rick.
