This is so unbelievably cool I kept staring at it for minutes.    :love:

This is what I love most about this forum: the output is simply breathtaking! Casting real scorpions, fascinating swashbuckling tables, recreating weird machinery - whow!  

[revford]

It looks great, just as insane and dangerous as the real thing.  

The crew and locals look good too.

[Vanvlak]

Now that's really grand

As an exotic railway stuff aficionado, I can only say: blistering beautiful. Great detail, wonderfully compact, just perfect. I really need to invade Plynkestine when I come over to the UK in ´10 so we can pit it against my armoured train. Which I´ll still have to build, but who cares.

Hi Poly, What a fantastic piece of Poly engineering

Well done indeed kind Sir and I look forward in time in seeing an adventure or two and maybe with our interpid Otto at the helm (away from his submarine of course)

[Poliorketes]

Hilarious madman! That's fantastic!

these mad kraut flymen....
marvellous work Plynkes

"Badhaus mit Tanzenmädchen " -  very pulpy 
thought it was about beach bathing
but this is even better - lots of foam needed in the bathtub and a cold shower before standing up 

I will definetely have one of my own - already looking in the bits box for an engine

One of the rare occasions to second former user  :

Gorgeous set, Plynkes, and "Badhaus mit Tanzenmädchen" is just brilliant ...

[former user]

it took me 2 hours to recover 

"Rrrrrreinnnemackefrrrauuuu"

also an excellent pulp movie with rrreallly evil Dschärmans
they never showed the "Immer Essen" right?
if I ever build a passenger boat, it shall be called "Immer Essen" in honour of Steve Martin

sorry, totally offtopic of course, apart from the pulpy spirit

btw, how comes that this "pulp" cliché is so real when it is about the 20ies?? or that period?
I have a picture of my grandparents from the ... must have been 1928, on a walk in the street, and they look like a couple from a gangster movie, complete with thin moustache

[Bako]

It's the spirit of the times, you rapscallion . My great grandparents too. Good old grandpa with his waxed mustache, ever curling its ends.

I can see no brakes on the actual thing!
Totally crazy and that years before Kruckenberg´s "Schienenzeppelin"...

"Badhaus mit Tanzenmädchen" is so cool and believably written by non-german speaking locals.
"Badehaus mit Tanzmädchen" would have been correct, but yours is much cooler!!!

By the way "our brave bayerischen lads" if you want a correct german adjective in an english sentence. It has something to do with the complicated german way of giving sexes to nouns.

[Plynkes]

Ha! You give me too much credit. It's written in that cool and believable way because I am a non-German speaking local, not because I'm some master of German Pulp! 

But I figured that as the sign was written by a Turk or an Arab, it wouldn't matter one jot if he got it wrong.


No brakes is probably why it crashed.

[Plynkes]

Oh, and by the way: Regarding this 2007 thread...

couldn't they have switched the propleller to reverse?
I know, there isn't any transmission to be seen either
