Anders,
The Regina Maersk ship that you used looks like one shown in Building Idea Book
#1 (Lego #238). And I know that you have the 1960-61 Swedish version of that
book (before LEGO wheels). Maybe you should include a scan of the original book
picture on your webpage to prove that you were not trying to show the sinking of
their new large supertanker, but the sinking of a 40 year old LEGO model.
