liteflight got a reaction from Brinkman in A small cog c. 1410 by Brinkman - FINISHED - scale 1:20
Nails are great, Silverman
And well done with the soldering, you have mastered the knack of it
Super clean Good fits Right flux Fast heat Tiny amount of solder I like the colour you are achieving as well

Hi, Steven
For your next project I/we suggest that you do whatever you feel challenged by; and/or whatever allume votre âme et fait vibrer votre cœur de joie
I still favour the Quinquireme of Nineveh, with a full set of rowers. There is a crying need for Louie-da-Fly research into the what and how of the quinquireme and wth Ophir was😁
BTW - the Dromon is sailing more or less southward, so the canopy would be deployed to keep the rays off the lily-white skin of the Emp, so perhaps you could roll up the side curtains, or scandalize them to show the Gaffer-of-all-the-gaffers
And what happened to Dick? Did he succumb to verdigris and topple off the yard? Inquiring minds want to know!

How right you are. His family name is “Goodheadforheights”
indeed the byzantine world encompassed a wide geographical and ethnic base - most of the known western world
And Larson WOULD have a duck take on the Viking helm😁

Not only a stunning and beautifully built model, Steven, but also a journey of discovery through the Byzantine empire.
Lots of unclear evidence winnowed and crystallised into the Dromon.
You can be proud of it/her ( I have no idea whether Mediterranean ships are referred to as feminine!)
Many thanks for sharing.
I can safely say that no one who viewed your build log will ever pull a hose without seeing ( in their minds eye) a lateen yard rising steadily with three unfurlers ( Tom, Dick and Mustafa?) ensconced thereapon.

It seems to me that the Dromarch would be flailed round the head by the flag tails in any following wind. I hope Louie was spared that, or wore an anti-swooping helmet

Pics welcome!
The problems you mention are mere breadcrumbs in the bed of life!
You have surged past the bottlenecks/ breadcrumbs and are about to regale us with layers and pics
Avanti!

Absolutely stunning work and attention to detail Steven. Im starting to consider that you commanded one or even a fleet of Dromons in a previous life. Can't wait to see it up close once Emperor Dan allows parole for us Victorians.

My first reaction is that they would be livelier than a flower class corvette.
The extreme rocker and rounded cross section would, I suspect, allow it to pitch and roll like a good’un.
But reverse clinker would facilitate the banana shape, if I have understood the issues.
I still Look forward to hearing the other advantages 😄
