The Great Tinnie War

[Ralph A]

"Skagerrak 1916" is in reference to the Battle of Jutland.

Exceptional craftsmanship overall, but note the flaw in the eagle's wing!

Here is the monument today.

The U-995 is parked nearby, a type VII-C boat.

WOW!!!!

Damn Ralph!!! Now I know what you are doing online all day!!!!! Great tinnies!!! Mike

[Ralph A]

Thanks Mike.

Kevin, Mike is correct in saying that many of these I found on-line. You just have to know where to look, and more importantly, when.

Check out this "Braunschweiger Husaren" commemorative. Great battles! However, there is something missing, as is evidenced by the four small holes at the bottom. I suspect they held bars by a chain, for more battles.

Love that dual horsehead job.

Great tinnie, Richard. (PS - I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that perhaps the Jugendfest tinnie on the right is a repro. Note it's crudity compared to it's sister. )

Here's a selection I picked up recently. Interestingly, they are of the same series of buildings, but in three different substrates.

Pasteboard.

I have something very specific in mind for this set of twelve. You'll see them again, but it might be awhile!

They are perfect for what I have in mind; both in number and theme.

PS if you have not noticed,

They are WHN (Dutch WHW).

[Ralph A]

Feel at home Richard?

Those were just for you.

i do feel at home with the WHN tinnies

very nice windmills unfortunatly you don't see as many as used to,most of them are in ruines or broken down
but people finally woke up and started to restore them to the original state

the right Jugendfest tinnie looks better detailed in hand than on the picture, i'll try to make better ones

More miscellany.

Let's get these out of the way in readiness for a new barrage of killer tinnies

Two of a kind; different pin configurations:
