getting a permanent crease in my rear end, sitting on the edge of my seat 😀.....hmmmm...seems like something interceded again....😢...cheers anyways............vic

merci edwardo

that's super....thanks........never saw that drawing....maybe yours will be a more detailed version of the one i did......these ships were totally fascinating and were always a mystery to me since i was a child......this is an interesting project too...thought you might like......

cheers, vic

toothpicks could be a bit tedious...but then again, you're the master of tediousness 😁

lovely!~...i've used round toothpicks....softened up the point a bit....or not....😀

sssssssssssssswhat i was waiting for....super duper!

so so wonderfully wonderful.....right up my alley.....gorgeous....

yea, some clear flat sprays or whatever don't work very well and almost leave a whitish haze...but i think some do work well.......it's mainly to avoid any plastic like appearance......i find that a satin spray worked well for me, but then again, that was on wood......anyways whatever you do, it will look super!.........smiley

as wonderful as it looks, my only thought is that i would have preferred a flat finish....but that's just a matter of taste.......cheers, vc

haha...very nice....i guess using fimo would have been a sacrilege 😀😀

what about fimo? ..............modeling clay...they have different types....bakes in oven....is what i used to make the sculptures on the royal william.....which although amaturish, came out ok........but traditional wood i understand....

looks pretty skookum ...yes? 😀

 yea....and i'm amazed he was able to get so much information.....

ooh...can't wait to see this ''thing'' 😄

immaculate......pristine.....i could only dream 😄

 super cool build..........super cool!!.........beyond me how you managed to get such detailed plans for that...................

 singularly obsessed...that's a good one .....must remember that 🙂

you are simply amazing...what else can i say........almost scary 😄

much appreciated...at 78, finally getting free of a lifetime of mental and physical tension....i think i wanna die whole and healthy 😄😄

very kind ..thank you......vc

merci merci.....vc

oh well....uploaded one simple piece......... https://youtu.be/z44DfaXgMgc

too much mess...too much fumes...too much dust....too much money....too much strain on the brain trying to figure things out where info is so scarce........just getting too much old and over sensitive i guess....and i've kind of lost interest, as i've built all the styles of ships that i liked..... and my wife has been so patient and supportive.....was fun while it lasted, but i can improve all i want on the piano...or keyboard...(mostly classical, but a bit of everything) and there is none of the above to deal with.....and the house will be so clean from now on 😃......can enjoy looking at whats been done anyways.....thanks all and cheers, ......vc

ok...basically all is done..just need to add more oars to the trireme and add the eye of horus at the bow......and that's the end of this log....and the end of my model building....will focus mainly on the piano for the time remaining for me.....thanks for all the feedback.....cheers, vic

oh...i added the finished version.......

somebody here is a reincarnation of the designer or builder of the original ship.....trying to remember ...trying to remember 😀
