Yes, 25-30 years ago I should have gotten Tribal Permission for a Tlingit Canoe video. I was unaware at the time. Even though I do not meet the Blood Quantum, I have always been accepted as part of the group. In the summer, I am darker in color than they are. Being mistaken many times for a Native American. The "main conversation" is about the art work on the canoes and used other places. A non Tribal Member can not use the Tlingit/Haida art without permission. Not even on scale models. Most of it has been patent. As far as feather collection, I suggest that your argue (which is what you want to do) your position with a Tribal Attorney. This is not the place for such arguments.

If a S.E. Alaska Native creates the art, they can then sell it to the public. However, most Tlingit and Haida Art is "patent" . I could not re-produce that art for myself, display or for resale. I know. I got in trouble a number of years ago. I took a picture/video of a Native Canoe like the ones pictured above. It ended up in the public on television. I needed Tribal and Artist permission to do so. Which I did not have. It's complicated. It's best to stay away from such situations.
I am going to add something to help explain how complicated things are. I live where there are hundreds of Bald Eagles. I can have 5-6 Bald Eagles sitting in a tree located in my small back yard at any one time. If a Eagle feather falls to the ground on my property I am not allowed to touch or pick it up. However, my granddaughter, who is whiter than most people, green eyed with blond hair, yet certified as 1/4 Alaska Native can pick up that feather, and bring it into my house. Then give it to our cat as a cat toy. Native American Law is very confusing.

My condition is very rare. Chronic. The singer Celine Dion has it. It can sometimes flare up and be extremely painful, and nothing taken seems to help. If you have ever been in so much pain that you almost pass out, vomit, or laying on the ground squirming, then you know what I am talking about. I have already lived longer than most who have contracted the condition. No life isn't fair.
Lot's of good suggestions above. I am considering another wood kit. Larger scale. But which one?

It's against the law to use N.W. Native Art if you are not a Tribal Member. I am not a member. However, I have Native/Children and grandchildren, but I am not allowed to "copy" or distribute any traditional Native Art.

I am in my 70's. I have a very rare disease/condition called Stiff Person Syndrome. I have been fighting the disease for over 25 years. I am currently trying to finish my 1:64 scale USS Syren Brig. Over the years my vision has gotten poorer, and my dexterity isn't what it used to be. I am really struggling trying to finish the Syren. Rigging guns, sails, and small detail work. I do not want to stop modeling. I need help and want suggestions for choosing my next model based upon my physical limitations, which will continue to deteriorate over time. Which scale? Type of ship? Stay with wood? Move to plastic?

Now that winter is approaching I have more time for building. I finished the Top Rails, and did some painting. I will soon start the deck work. I haven't made any Tree Nails yet. I am still unsure which way I will go.

The hull has been planked, now it's time to sand. I wonder if I could "subcontract" this part out?
Yes, I hurt my finger. I always seem to end up giving blood for the cause.......

I went back into the closet.
I can only dream of having a real shop area full of tools.

David Rice got a reaction from aviaamator in Alternative Line Material
I am fortunate enough to live in a Coastal Community where I can walk the docks, and look at different types of ships and small vessels. We also have a extensive Marine Retail Store dedicated to Commercial Fishing located on the Docks. Over the years, I have been buying Nylon Seine Line in various sizes for gardening and other projects. The smallest diameter Seine Line I am aware of is #5, which has a diameter somewhere between 050 and 070 in equivalent Kit lines. See examples below.
The Seine Line is stiffer and is much easier to use. When cut, the Seine Line frays less at the cut end than the line provided in the Kits. The #5 Seine Line (Nylon) comes in 1 lbs spools. Which is approximately 3,500 feet at a cost of only $12.99 each. This one spool will last me a lifetime. So far I have only experimented with it. So far I am impressed.

Looking good. Since I am using Basswood, I decided to paint my Syren. The last ship I built was with Basswood also. I stained some of it, but looking back, I wish I hadn't.
Are you going to make tree nails? I am at that point now. Thinking about tree nails, then painting with watered down dark green paint. Similar to the color of French Ships, or black and cream colored like the USS Congress. Not sure yet.
