Again new period pictures, with another naval hero, the nr 3 of the 227 batch gets camouflaged, but most breathtaking, 5 M39's on the beach. Enjoy!

A quick notice, with only new period pictures, that where found and added also to the period pictures overview. It's been a pause since early this year for a couple of reasons. Some housekeeping done, but soon more splendid things to follow!

Many other projects where my priority in the period between these updates. One other important development: a lecture of sources and how to weigh information by a friend. I've been putting together my "timeline" to find extra info on the M39's but the info contradicts and there is a lot of speculation. So, I'm re-reading all sources and wil quote all information found. No hurry, it's more than 80 years since they started their shortlived history. Reports often just mention "armoured car" so I have to include the M36 and M38 movements in the may days.
Improved picture of the prototype in the hei..

Houskeeping, and adding lots of small details. The pictures of the hull in the Voybokalo page have been made in Wolckhow, a village just a bit further. My modell got a little step forward. On the sources page, a page and the cover of a German manual from April 1940. And again 16 new pictures added. Kortrijk and Scheveningen got their own page combining the period photos. And last but not least a kind gesture from Stelling Amsterdam to show 2 special photo's.

Revealing the new site to some friends and fellow enthusiasts instantly brought new errors to fix, (Of course, everything in this site is handmade) new ideas and sugestions(Yes, already planned, but the period pictures wil also get a chronological grouping) and, new pictures (Thanks Bert!)! The village of Voybokalo got the first period picture page. When I found the picture combining it I realized I had to start that plan with this image. And we have 9 new pictures added!

Spell checking reveals that the English language is more difficult that I thought. Bear with me. I started a list with abbreviations and terms.

First presentable version. I've got plans with the timeline and the pictures. I would want to pinpoint all pictures into the time line. It's been a lot of work, and what I want with it wil be even more work. My to do list is long, and on this vehicle: Examening an photographing Mr. de Grave's 1:15 model, and the 6th scale PanTraDo 2 model. My own modelling project, colours and markings, to name the most important.
