Matle got a reaction from Louie da fly in Translation help needed - Renaissance German
That’s a Contarini galley (the blue and yellow is indeed their arms) - Contarini was based in Venice and ran charter tours to Jerusalem for pilgrims. I believe he had a more or less a monopoly when Konrad went, so I guess Konrad travelled with him.
The town on the last image is Ragusa (Dubrovnik) by the way.

The illustration doesn’t necessarily have to be based on the Turkish ship they met. I’d wager we are looking at a Hanseatic ship with Turkish flags. Even the figurehead (I doubt 15th century Turks would put a dog sculpture on their ship by the way - though as mentioned they did charter ships from Christian subjects) looks like the one recently picked up from the bottom of the Baltic: https://www.vrakmuseum.se/en/wrecks-and-remains/shipwrecks/gribshunden

Matle got a reaction from Nirvana in Going...going...gone? The London wreck.
Is there no way to divert traffic, or is it too narrow?
In related news, one of the newly discovered wrecks in the Baltic was recently plundered by vandals. New technology discovers wrecks quicker than the authorities can protect them - but since there is no money to guard them that might not matter anyway. Part of me hope that we won’t discover any more wrecks in easily accessible waters...

Matle got a reaction from mtaylor in La Salamandre 1758 by Sergey Pobozhy - 1/250
Wonderful work, thank you for sharing. I’ve been thinking to attempt a miniature myself, so I’m happy to see this log.
May I ask, what is the purpose of filling with resin? For strength?

Matle got a reaction from reklein in Archaeological news: Norway
They have made some smaller incursions earlier, the main finds being the following:
- Believed to be a burial, but likely the ship was previously used and was not just a burial vessel
- Due to lowered water table large parts of the ship have been damaged or destroyed by rot, but the keel appears intact. The quick decision and accelerated startup of excavation was made to precent the decomposing from causing further damage
- The wood has been dated to around the year 733
- The size is comparable to the Gokstad and Oseberg ships, but on this ship the keel is quite different, of a previously unknown type. This is maybe what makes the find the most promising.

Matle got a reaction from Canute in WW2 ship drawings anyone know what this is?
Hi Bruce, I didn’t mean the Mousa, I meant the one on the Italian drawing. That’s a much larger vessel

Matle got a reaction from Canute in WW2 ship drawings anyone know what this is?
Looks like a medium-sized freighter of 1930s design, maybe around 2500T? Due to Genoa, maybe worth checking ships built by Ansaldo as a start.
As why he had the drawing, better ask someone who knew him. I like drawings myself, I could have kept it as a keepsake, or to make a model, or - had I been an electrical engineer/electrician - for reference.

Let’s not buy these. No different than buying ZHL models, it’s IP theft. Jim Byrnes shouldn’t lose money to Chinese knockoffs

Matle reacted to Slowhand in Polacca by Slowhand - Scale 1:32 - 18th century ship of Venetian Fleet
Quite pleased with what I’ve done so far got a solid base for the hull, straight keel and in fill blocks in profile with bulkheads.
Decision point, spent ~ £5 on ply, pine infill blocks nil, only cost so far Is my time. If I’d made a dogs dinner would have cut my losses. Happy to go ahead and buy lime strips for Wales, 1st planking layer, and pear or cherry for stem, keel and stern post. Now for the fun laying the decks, planking the hull.

Matle got a reaction from Egilman in 3d printing crew figures
I don’t see why that would be bad form, thanks for posting. 3D printing is here to stay, for finished products and for making masters for moulding. That you only needed a few hours to whip that up is enough proof of concept.
One question from someone who only has space for small models - down to what scale do you think your equipment would be able to produce sharp results? I guess 1/64 should work if 1/48 looks that good, but what about 1/100 and 1/200ish? I’m curious what hobby-modellers as us would be able to do - I’m sure there is expensive industrial machines which can do it but that is another topic really.

Matle reacted to highlanderburial in 3d printing crew figures
Greetings all,
While I am pretty sure posting anything made from a 3d printer is probably bad form here I wanted to share a side project I worked on over the weekend. I personally love seeing crew figures on model boat/ships but always have a hard time finding them in the scales or poses I want. This weekend I digitally drew out 4 "age of sail" style crew in 4 poses in my 3d aoftware. I then printed them in 1/48 ish scale. The awesome part about having these designs is I can size them up to 40mm or down to 3mm tall. I think they would look at home on a pirate ship or navy vessel depending on how they get painted. In the second photo I have compared my prints to an Amati figure (right) and a 1/48 scale figure on the left. The figure with the saber was literally transposed from a Captain Morgan rum ad! The UV light is used to cure the resin.
Has anyone else done this?
