Hi. This is just going to be a fun build while getting the drawings for the Gondola done. The design comes from a district called Mandalay. In centra Burma. The only thing I have is the video. As you can see by the video it's a very long boat that is quite simple. The model will be 100cm in length and made from anything wooden I can lay my hands on. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_9oJErubzfY I have made a building frame as the boat has a curved base from bow to stern and also a curve across the section. Have just put a Pdf file of my drawings. Myitkyina.pdf Jig above is cheap plywood. Bow support and clamping above. Stern support and clamp above. Shot from above to show the length of the boat. The floor just laid on the jig. I will try and build this as the video shows with internal supports and joint covers. The reason why the scale... I can purchase a plastic model car engine and mount it on rear bulkhead. With the extended shaft and propeller. As I have said... It's a fun build... Regards Antony.

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
