    A yes...the Tirpitz with the lamp cord drive motor wiring.... "fusible link" indeed. Possibly the all time best sink photo

    What manner of lamp cord was this that by its sad and fiery end would seem to be naught but a child's hair enrobed in kerosene soaked cotton?

    This is truly an epic shot. Do you have the full resolution copy by chance?

    The full photo isn't nearly as cool.

    Let it live like that, it looks soooo much cooler.

    I think it was 18GA speaker wire if you're looking to replicate the situation.

    Hurh, yeah, that's not really sufficient. I've got a busted nasty old nagato hull in my garage (belongs to another member). Maybe that should be its fate.

    I would like to use that picture at the show I am displaying at. I am sure that picture will get wide eyes and conversation going.

    It's the most dramatic action shot I've ever seen!
    I'd love to put that somewhere on my French site, with permission of course.

    Ah
    Snipe is right. It's a much cooler shot at its current crop then.
