These pictures make my teeth itch

This picture doesn't do it justice.

These are the stairs up to the Officers Accommodation on the ship I work on. Built in Britain.

It's almost as if halfway through installation someone thought about changing it to spiral staircase and then gave up.
(I do agree that they look like stairs 'down from' rather than 'up to' )

Found this while walking the dog tonight.

I thought many ship stairwells are designed to be able to go 'up' if the vessel has capsized. Hence why it looks down...

If the ship's upside down it won't make any difference as those stairs will be on the ceiling. Or have I missed something?

Apart from being on the piss, these are magic stairs that go both ways.

I meant, as you well know , the same pitch regardless of which way up/down the vessel is.

from the frivolous purchase thread

..and why's it on this thread?

Because the flange on the spoiler is CLEARLY 20mm (scaled) too wide. Duh, don't you know anything? Card, way out, etc.

Thread's getting silly now.

Overalls.

Still not seeing it...

(Unless you mean the scrutineer guy in the background who's overalls don't match?)

Anyone with proper CDO would paint out the offending text

Unless they are just nicking the wheels and syphoning the tank... Do they sell 1/8 scale bricks to rest the brakes on?

Times may be hard, but £28 stupidly expensive?
Overpriced maybe, considering it's Chinese origins.

tbh i hadn't even looked, but some of the items being knocked around on that thread are idiotic money, with everyone nodding in appreciation. I just assumed it was another of those!

Obviously the relative angle of the stair line to the associated landings would be the same whatever happened, but exactly how would you use that stair if the ship was upside down?

Oh, and that is clearly a stair going down, unless one is going up it.

My new walking socks...

The GF saw this and just said 'I bet they're size Large'... she has a point!

Any the steps, would they not still be functional if the ship fell on one side? Would only work one way though.

[Asterix]

You walk on the walls, not the steps.

/Simpsons geek mode/ Krusty the Clown has regular sized feet, just with large shoes. Sideshow Bob had large oversize comedy feet. /Simpsons geek mode/
