Nave Egizia by wim500 - Amati - Egyptian merchant ship - 1:50 - wood


Recommended Posts

This is a reposting of a former buildlog, the build is finished and photo's of the result are shown in the galery.

 

The ship was used during the reign of King Sahoere from Egypt, he was the 2nd King of the 5th Dynastie.

He reigned from 2487 bC till 2475 bC, so this is an early build.

The ship was used for transporting cedar and ebony form Libanon to Egypt.

Nails were not invented yet, the entire ship is put together with rope.

 

Overall length: 35 cm.

Thanks Jeff, this was a very nice build.

Supllied sail   :o :

These ships had no keel, so stability was low.

For more stability the Egyptians exerted a rope over the length of the ship.

Thanks Adrieke and Sarah for looking in and your nice words.

For some reason or another I choose these kind of ships.

My next build is more 'normal', it will be the gundeck of Vasa (1:24) and in the closet a Bounty with interior.

Thanks guys :)

 

@Grant

This is a shortened log, the full log was on the old MSW.

I used a kind of jig to give more strength to the hull.

In my first post you can see it only a bit, I will have a look for more pics.

Cheers,
Wim

@Yves

Thanks, enough rope was in the kit.

@Grant

Just found some pics. 

This hull was a hell of a job, I can remember that very well :)

I wish you all the luck.

 

Jig: two planks and clamps

NaveEgizia008.jpg

 

Bended hullplanks.

I soaked them in water and placed them on the hull with rubber bands.

NaveEgizia010.jpg

 

Drill holes first!!!

NaveEgizia011.jpg

 

Glue the planks with rubber bands, clamps, tapes, etc
