[Oberon]

I think I was thinking about the wrong war. How about the A7V?

Very close indeed, but think a bit further westward.

Male-female; rhomboid; Berlin? no water and dark AKTUNG!:hmmm: Hanna reisch? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/Fieseler_Fi156.jpg

[Betonov]

The mark V tank

this is one the wiki page for it
In 1945, Allied troops came across two badly damaged Mk V tanks in Berlin. Photographic evidence indicates that these were survivors of the Russian Civil War and had previously been displayed as a monument in Smolensk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smolensk), Russia, before being brought to Berlin after the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941.[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_V_tank#cite_note-Fletcher.2C_47-7) Accounts of their active involvement in the Battle of Berlin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Berlin) have not been verified.[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_V_tank#cite_note-Narod.2C_Beutepanzer-8)

[Armistead]

I'm catching up, still trying to figure a white dot on a dark green static image was a tank or whatever it was....

[Buddahaid]

I'm catching up, still trying to figure a white dot on a dark green static image was a tank or whatever it was....

I was on that track, especially with the male and female varieties, but the 1940's dates threw me off.

Next guess. A radio set.

[Stealhead]

Philips head screws make it a post 1935 object. Not much size so it is not supporting much weight not an engine mount. Also could be something pre 1935 with modern screws.

Part of an outdoor grill?

[Buddahaid]

No it doesn't look particularly heavy duty other than the screws are pretty close together so it's meant to be strong.

How about a sheet metal seam on an aircraft.

[Oberon]

I'm catching up, still trying to figure a white dot on a dark green static image was a tank or whatever it was....

It was one of the rivets on the left sponson, just below the cannon. :03:

I was on that track, especially with the male and female varieties, but the 1940's dates threw me off.

Threw me off too when I found out, talk about desperation! :dead:

[Stealhead]

How about a sheet metal seam on an aircraft.
I think not. If you look at the top left you see the metal edge.
It is a mount of some kind a hindge of some sort?

@ Oberon your tank .....the devil is in the details.:know:

[Armistead]

It was one of the rivets on the left sponson, just below the cannon. :03:



Threw me off too :dead:

IOW's, it was all about the clues........:doh:

[TarJak]

An instrument panel on a submarine or aircraft?

[u crank]

An instrument panel on a submarine or aircraft?

Not military.

Philips head screws make it a post 1935 object. Not much size so it is not supporting much weight not an engine mount. Also could be something pre 1935 with modern screws.

No but it is used indoors and out. :03:

No it doesn't look particularly heavy duty other than the screws are pretty close together so it's meant to be strong.

Doesn't fly.


Next guess. A radio set.

No, but there are electronics involved.

[Armistead]

last one a white dot on a blob, now a screw....what item did they use screws on....hmmmm

Flash light

[Jimbuna]

Aw, I was going to say Windermere station, again.

This device came into production in 1954 and is still very much in use today.

[Betonov]

I say color TV or solar panels :hmmm:

[Armistead]

I'm being out googled. Probably the solars....

So I'll add some others

This isn't mine, but I have one.

[Stealhead]

What will he come up with this time? :hmmm:

[Oberon]

Thank you u crank, it took me a little figuring out, wasn't expecting screws at that end of the guitar, but man, you're a lucky guy, they are classic instruments. :salute:

So, my turn...well, then I ask of you, what is this from?

http://i.imgur.com/MsIqYlU.jpg

[Stealhead]

Something German. It controls speeds or perhaps pressure. It says operating range.

Looks like the inside of a tank or AFV. Panzer IV?

No. Air pressure control for torpedo tubes.It is a compressor control I think.Supply source something else would be used for pressure adjustments further down.

[Oberon]

Good first guess, it's an armoured vehicle but it's not a Panzer IV, it's a fair bit later than that. :yep:

Nope.

[Jimbuna]

M113 or a Saracen?

[Oberon]

Not that later. :03: Prototype rolled out in late '43

[TarJak]

Tiger I or II?

[Oberon]

Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus

Tiger I or II?

You're both very close, it's a little of option A and a little of option B. :03: Probably closer to option B though, out of the two.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Could it be the Panther tank?

Edit: Scratch that, how about the Jagdtiger?

[Oberon]

Could it be the Panther tank?

Edit: Scratch that, how about the Jagdtiger?

So close!! I mean, that's literally a bracketing shot, the next guess will probably get it. :yep:

[Stealhead]

Sturmtiger? No Elefhat.

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

My only other guess would be the Jagdpanther.

[Armistead]

Marder
Nashorn

[Oberon]

Sturmtiger? No Elefhat.

I stand corrected...ok, maybe the next one...

My only other guess would be the Jagdpanther.

http://i.imgur.com/s8fSV1T.jpg?1

It is the inside of a Jagdpanther

http://i.imgur.com/W4sDGKm.jpg?1
This one, to be precise.

[Armistead]

GJ....but I had to post the remaining crumbs listed...:D

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

I knew I should of recognized that from somewhere given that I've seen that very tank destroyer at the IWM in London.


Ok let's see who can figure out who this is, bonus points if you can name the fictional character he inspired.
Hint: He was "killed" during the Battle of Gettysburg and his first big "job" was in Boston.

I stole my wife from Sam Elliot during the making of that movie....well, sort of....Really I did!

[Oberon]

I really must finish watching it, still on the first day IIRC. Good film. :yep:

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Reminds me a little of Sam Elliot

http://civilwartalk.com/attachments/gettysburg01-png.19644/ Nope it wasn't him. Hint: This man took on the name of the founder-editor of The New York Times.

[Tango589]

Random guess time: Samual Clemens aka Mark Twain?

[Oberon]

Camille Baquet?

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Random guess time: Samual Clemens aka Mark Twain?
Nope

And nope.

Another hint: He "eloped" with a famous painting which had just been sold at auction for a record amount of money only weeks before.

Adam Worth

Fictional character-Professor Moriarty

We have a winner!

In May 1876 Adam Worth alias Henry J. Raymond stole the painting The Duchess of Devonshire from the art gallery of Thomas Agnew & Sons. He was the inspiration for both Professor James Moriarty and the character Macavity The Mystery Cat in the book Old Possum's Guide to Practical Cats by T.S. Elliot.

As the great detective brothers the Pinkertons said of Little Adam " In the death of Adam Worth there probably departed the most inventive and daring criminal of modern times... In all his criminal career, and all the various crimes he committed, he was always proud of the fact that he never committed a robbery where the use of firearms had to be resorted to, nor had he ever escaped, or attempted to escape from custody by force of jeopardizing the life of an officer, claiming that a man with brains had no right to carry firearms, that there always was another way, and a better way, by the quick exercise of the brain. Among all the men Pinkertons have known in a lifetime, this man was the most remarkable criminal of them all."

[Jimbuna]

Okay....looking for something 'interesting'.

You wearing nothing but a pair of socks (neither of them on your feet).

[Armistead]

Where's the clue.....that lil emoticon looking thing.....AW, c'mon guys...

[Armistead]

Almost looks like an outfit near the neck, academic regalia, scarf, maybe worn by a priest..

Still, even magnified it looks like an ant. :huh:

[Jimbuna]

Is it you or an american sportsperson?

[Herr-Berbunch]

Is it Oberon's former avatar?

[Jimbuna]

Part of a rail or road sign?

[Stealhead]

:haha: No not my mother. Not me wearing socks.
Not a sports icon.

Clue # 1 this a film character part of his or her attire. A character idealized by many for toughness. Wears an iconic uniform but not one that follows any regulation.

[Aktungbby]

http://www.westernartandarchitecture.com/dynamic/images/article_images/thumbs/634x375Custer_1096.jpgtough, non regulation and iconic-Son of the Morning Star? Hoka-Hey BBY! http://content.sportslogos.net/logos/53/57/thumbs/720.gif

[Stealhead]

Negative. Custer was a real person. This is a film character.

Clue # 2 this person is a protagonist but not the typical too good to be true type. More like a Kurosawa type.

[Aktungbby]

Nathan Algren in the Last Samurai? http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/The-Last-Samurai-tom-cruise-374712_327_500.jpg

[Stealhead]

No sir. A Kurosawa type character. Come read the clues. A person known for toughness and idealized. Has a distint uniform that dose not follow any regulation not member of an organized military force.

This person is not outside his element but is most deadly. Will do the right thing and not require renumeration for doing so. But will take renumeration for work. Dose not shy away from using trickery aginst others.

That should narrow things down.

[Buddahaid]

Han Solo?

[Stealhead]

You go it. After pretty getting pointed towards the answer.:cool: Next time you'll have to try harder.

Wait minute he removed his answer. I call foul.

Tarjak what is your rule here? Answer was posted but then removed. I say hand the next round to you. New rule you can not retract your answer once posted.

There was a post by Aktungbby which he must have deleted. Only I read it before he removed it. Why would you do that? It ruins this round.

All right someone with admin powers needs to make a call I know you can see deleted posts.

Well we sit in limbo now if you ask me.:timeout:

How about a simple answer from now on and not a history lesson the OP can do that while confiming the correct if they so desire.

[Armistead]

I've been calling foul all along.....

Can we answer or are we in limbo

[Aktungbby]

Apologies! I was switching to a new tack to accommodate the non regulation uniform to Obi Wan Kenobi myself but cannot find the photo. Was not entirely happy with the 'other choice' and did a ninja edit: I will withdraw from this round. Everyone else keep guessing.

[TarJak]

I'd say the answer needs to be visible to all. No PM's or other forms of correspondence. If you post a guess, then leave it up. Editing is OK for spelling etc.

[Stealhead]

Ok but no more changing answers once you hit submit from now on that is your answer.

Han Solo was very a good guess he fits the mold well he is not our man though.
3rd clue this person is Earth bound. The answer is in effect plain sight in altered form in this forum even this thread a hint more on that an altered line with a picture and not the one I posted.

[Buddahaid]

One guess at a time. Zorro.

[Stealhead]

Nope not Zorro correct general era though wrong weapon of choice.

More like Han Solo but not the same profession. This person has a job that might make Han nervous.Recall the previuos clues.

[Buddahaid]

I am but I'm too dense to see the answer clearly. I will now hazard James West.

[Stealhead]

Nope. Listen I want to talk to you about my mule.

[Buddahaid]

Blondie? Damn that clue should tie it but I think I'm off again.

Wait you just changed clues!

[Stealhead]

You got it. I zoomed in on the poncho pattern any other spot I thought would be too easy. Yeah sorry I hit submit by accident while I was searching 3 coffins.

And your your question is? Who what or where?

[Buddahaid]

My bad. It's a what.

[Herr-Berbunch]

A car dashboard?

[Buddahaid]

It is all car but not the dashboard. I'm looking for the mfg/model, the specific what.

[Tango589]

Aston Martin DB6?

[TarJak]

Either that or a Shelby or AC Cobra

[Jimbuna]

Mustang?

[TarJak]

Aston Martin DB5

[Jimbuna]

Camaro?

[Buddahaid]

It is an Aston Martin but another model. Sorry for the delay I just got up.

Well done. It was the former not the latter. I could be pedantic because it's actually Alexandra Palace, but it would only have served to confuse.

[Jimbuna]

[Oberon]

It's actually Avionics Equipment, but try not to get too hung up on what the equipment is, try to figure out what it's attached to. :03:
After all, the question was what's it from, not what it is.

[Jimbuna]

Correct, it's post-WWII but it's not an A-10, although it has served in similar theatres in a similar role.

Vulcan?

Nope, although it is British made.

[Jimbuna]

[Jimbuna]

Tornado

[Betonov]

I'll go with Harrier

[Herr-Berbunch]

Aaargh! It could be any one of them, all the wiring and connectors look the same. My money would be on...

Jag and Tornado are ruled out, Betonov has got it with Harrier. I think.

[Stealhead]

Guessing not the Tornado or Jaguar those are more strike aircraft than CAS. I think Bentov has it.

[Armistead]

Well, I think we've covered most of the post-WWII air fleet, but I'm afraid the answer isn't there. Although Betonov made an error in saying airplane...it's not an airplane but it is an aircraft.
It does operate in a Close Air Support role, and has been around for nearly as long as me, it is made in Britain...but not designed here.

That should help you. :yep:

[Stealhead]

AH-64 been around about that span and not desgined in the UK you do have the best version though.AgustaWestland Apache.

[Oberon]

Ta muchly. I usually put my images onto imgur and use their in-house image resizing service to put it up to 300x300 or thereabouts. I think that's the best image size without losing too much detail...although the rivet on the Mk V tank did cause some interesting observations.

[Stealhead]

Can you see it well enough now?

I use Gimp to cut mine down.

[Oberon]

Can you see it well enough now?

I usually use Gimp to cut it down.

Not particularly, but my eyesight has seen better days.
What I normally do is use Gimp to cut out the selected part and then if it's smaller than 300x300 (or thereabouts) I use imgur to increase the size.

So it would look like this:

http://i.imgur.com/23qAbki.jpg?1

[Stealhead]

I could do that with Gimp I recon.

Anyway there you have it.
What is this? This is merely part of the entire thing obviously it is a painting so what is the name of the painting and who is the artist? each answer/guess has to include both the name of the painting and the artist or best guess. Attention to details.:salute:

[Jimbuna]

I predict this will need a few clues...I can't even get close.

[VipertheSniper]

I predict this will need a few clues...I can't even get close.

Actually no.

It's Rembrandts "The Nightwatch"

comparing your picture with what's on Wikipedia, I'd say it could also be a forgery of said painting, or that the picture on wikipedia was taken after a restoration

I'll try to find a picture when I get home from work, or Stealhead posts the confirmation, whichever is later.

[Betonov]

And I'm saying a close up of a dragonfly insect


Edit: Viper is right

[Jimbuna]

Rgr that :doh:

[Oberon]

Impressive, I'd have never have gotten that, even though I'm aware of the painting.

There was something about it that made me search for Rembrandt paintings, I can't really explain why.

[Stealhead]

It is The Night Watch. Not you could be right. The smaller sample was a different source. The larger onr was from Wiki. I. Only did an image search so it could be a fake.

OK What is this?

[Stealhead]

Teal, white and chrome. Well I know it cant be the Interceptor.

55 Chevy 210? Not what it is but I toss it out there.

[Aktungbby]

I know! I know! SAN JOSE SHARKS LOGO "REVEAL the TEAL":yeah: http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/Fathead/RealBig_Logo_BluePoolTableRoom_template?layer=comp&wid=628&hei=628&fmt=jpeg&qlt=65,1&op_sharpen=1&resMode=bicub&op_usm=0.5,0.2,0,0&iccEmbed=0&$product_template=is{Fathead/64-64230C_nhl_san_jose_sharks_logo?scl=1%26$layer_1_s rc%3dis{Fathead/shim%3fscl%3d1}}

[TarJak]

Neither of those

[Stealhead]

Right Aussies are such avid hockey fans they can hardly control themselves. :yeah:
Reveal the teal hockey makes me squel Id drive from Sydney to Perth just to see a puck wish me good luck.
It is a motor vechile. Hmmm..... Austin-Healey 3000? They had two tone options.

[TarJak]

Not an Austin Healy. Think something less glamorous.

[Buddahaid]

Nash Metropolitan.

[Aktungbby]

Ya just beat me! 59 Nash http://www.americandreamcars.com/1959nashmetropolitancnvt102812.jpg

[Stealhead]

I see a bit of metal in TarJak's photo that makes me think that it is not a Nash Metropolitan. Also TarJak's photo has a sloping curve the Nash has no slope to it. Don't be so sure until the OP confirms that an answer is correct. Also Nash has a space between the chrome and the headlight TarJak's photo has no gap.


Is it an early Ford Ranchro? Could be along the door where the chrome strip is thinner on some versions. Something tells me that it is not a Nash.

[TarJak]

Not a Nash or a Ford. Start looking across the pond. Right era though.

[Aktungbby]

http://www.skyblueteal.co.uk/USERIMAGES/TealG.jpggotta be here somplace:O:talk about reveal the teal ...and ...it's across the pond!http://www.skyblueteal.co.uk/userimages/tealsstoneleigh.jpg

[TarJak]

Stop worrying about the colour. They were manufactured in lots of colours. A Teal it is not.

I think you may have crossed the wrong pond as well. ;)

[TarJak]

I'll help a little more and tell you the brand name comes from somewhere other than the place of assembly and these are very rare due to the very small production run.

[Jimbuna]

A Morgan?

[TarJak]

Not a Morgan. The chassis is from the same company and country where the brand originated but it was assembled in a different continent.

[Aktungbby]

opel

[TarJak]

Nope but the original brand company and the chassis is from the same country as Opel.

[Buddahaid]

OK that makes it a German brand and German chassis that is assembled somewhere other than Europe. If it has a chassis that makes it earlier than the 1960's in general unless you consider unibody construction the chassis.

I'm stumped for now.

Oh yeah and across the pond would suggest the Americas as the assembly place. Volkswagon I doubt as the VW's for the US were made in Wolfsburg until 1965 when another factory opened to take that load and the VW is a unibody construct.

The two tone paint screams 1950's to me so what are the choices. Opel, VW, Audi, BMW and Mercedes are all I can think of. Daimler DS420?
http://www.bestdrives.org/daimler-cars/daimler-ds420-limousine-4235cc-1988.jpg

Can't be that because I would consider this car upscale to an Austin Healey. Stumped again.

[VipertheSniper]

A Goggomobil Dart???

Lloyd Hartnett?

Messerschmitt KR200? :hmmm:

You may be on to something. BMW Isetta?

I'm pretty sure I got it right with the Carryall. Isettas were built all over Europe by various companies but I don't any production on another continent took place

[Buddahaid]

Somehow I missed your post so I didn't check that out. Weird like it wasn't there and was later inserted.

You're right. The Carryall was a limited production of 11 vehicles assembled in Australia by Bill Buckle's Motors based on modified Goggomobil chassis' imported from the factory in Germany in 1959.

Over to you. :up:

[TarJak]

Looks like part of the tardis set from 1970's doctor who series.

[VipertheSniper]

nope, it's a bit older, and it definitely wasn't part of a movie set.

[Armistead]

Ice cream or milkshake mixer

[Stealhead]

Man that is really grainy is that the best shot you have?

It does make me think of Dr.Who.

Looks like someone got carried away with one of those old Erector sets and gave me a very bad cataract at the same time.

Is it part of an aircraft?

[Armistead]

If not ice cream.....is it still some sort of mixer. I have a vintage shake mixer, doesn't look like that, but the mixing heads look almost identical to the green heads in your pic.

[VipertheSniper]

Ok, it is a pretty fast vehicle, even though it's not at all aerodynamic, that should take your guesses in the right direction.

[Buddahaid]

Sounds like my first girlfriend.

[TarJak]

You dated a Ford Galaxy?

[Jimbuna]

A time machine?

[VipertheSniper]

A time machine?

Not quite fast enough to be a time machine... also no car.

It's something that's feasible to build, but it was surely a huge challenge at that time.

To be a bit more precise, aero dynamics or fluid dynamics for that matter, don't matter for this vehicle at all.

if that doesn't put you on the right path, I don't know what will.

[TarJak]

A space craft? Soyuz or Apollo?

[VipertheSniper]

It's a space craft... and a predecessor to one of those two

To be honest, I'm more surprised at the Harlan-Eindecker, I mean look at this thing:

http://www.altes-lager.eu/wp-content/gallery/Flugplatz1912/harlan-eindecker-2.jpg

Surprised it could actually take-off with four people on it (and it actually could take five (http://img.wp.scn.ru/camms/ar/1833/pics/59_o_1.jpg) :doh:)

Right then, I've done plenty of what's, but I don't think I've done a where, so a fairly simple one...
