The website below has picked Jules Verne as its "hero of the day." Actually, I suppose by the time most of you read this they'll have a new "hero of the day" and you'll have to look it up under "Previous Heroes of the Day."

Hi David, I made some years ago a reconstrution from Jules Vernes
directly from Jules Vernes
book description. I did a drawing and remember that the submarine in his
discription looks like a
modern Seawolf Attack submarine. I lost the drawing later..
We can start a competition here - every of us - how like - should made
his own drawing based on his version
of the book - do not look at the illustrations - they are wrong.. -
Pat ? Would you like to make the judge ?
You have allready made your drawings - and you have the most expirence
with the book.
Ray - would you like to display the most best say 3-5 drawings on a
Jules Verne remember page ?
First layout of competition rules :
1.) We have to find a date were all drawings should be at Rays server -
say for example in 7 days. (Sunday 4.of April)
2.) All kind of drawings, pictures or renderings should be okay - but it
has to be a man
on the drawing - so that everybody including non-technicans can see
the size.
3.) Format has to be converted to .JPG (I will help to convert .DXF
.DWG or some other formats)
4.) First price is ..??
Maybe its fun - Carsten
