THERE WAS NO REAL SEAVIEW? I'm crushed! And it was my favorite show (in 1964)... So, what did Admiral Nelson and Capt. Crane use to fight them seaweed monsters? And does this mean that there was no real flying sub? 8-( (I always knew there was no Nautilus. After all, who'd really want to sail to the North Pole?) 8-) Cap'n Randy (puzzled) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) From "Katz, Gene S" Subject Washington, DC and Potomac As far as making the waters recede and depositing all the manure in what became the District, I never heard that before. Interesting theory. I think it was John Adams who said something along the lines of "one idiot is to be pitied, two or more idiots are an asylum, and 10 or more are a Congress". At least our Continental Navy came out of them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4) From Ives100@aol.com Subject Re Lost Ark >> we have dealt with modelling fictional craft in the past eg USS Seaview << WHAT?? Fictional?? When did THAT happen? >> the Nautilus << No, SSN-571 is permanently berthed just down the street from me right now.... Hey, how come it's always submarines that are fictional? Next thing you know, he'll be claiming there was no Red October.... Seriously, Shane is right-stick to the model aspects of building the ark as a watercraft. Its existance and the religious aspects can be debated elsewhere. Tom Dougherty ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5) From "John Mills" Subject Decals for Adelaide I bought Lee's 1/300 HMAS Adelaide (based on US Hazard class) but it has no decals. Front missile luach area and helicopter landing pad. There are other smaller decals around the structure which are less important. Any way I can obtain a sheet for these?
