    Hi Nils. Regarding the amount of oars men. "By the early 16th century states and navies grew and required more men. They used more and more unskilled slaves and prisoners. The Venetians designed a new system "alla senzile”: 3 to 5 men per bench, handling one large oar. Only the lead rower needed to be skilled, the others just followed his move. This allowed larger ships, but the side men were much less effective. Maximum speed dropped from some 6 to 4 Knot (more or less: a much discussed topic), as compared with 9-10 Knots maximum for ancient triremes (cf. Olympia's trials). The "senzile" system was soon adopted by all Mediterranean nations, and older galleys were reequipped that way." This is from http://www.cogandgalley.com/2009/02/16th-to-18th-century-chebec.html this is the only article I know off. Regards Antony.

    Hi Nils. I will let you know what the plans look like and the quality when they arrive. Such a nice boat its a shame not to build it. Regards Antony.

    Hi Nils. I have to ask a question... Can one man use a oar that size ??. Two people ? The oar hole in the bulwark should be big enough to get the blade through. Thanks for the Junk link. Very nice pictures and information. Love this style of boat. Has a lot of character. Have you ordered any plans yet ?? from this site ? http://www.modelbouwtekeningen.nl/nvm-1000032-hainan-handelsjonk.html Are they trustworthy ?? Never used this site before. £66.14 (75 EUR) is quite expensive for a set of plans. Regards Antony.

    Good morning Nils. Just stunning. All these little bits you are finding are just amazing and gives the Algier a look of it's own. Regards Antony.

    Hi Jeff. That's a lot of treenails. Nice to see the correct patterns on your deck. The treenails are not to prominent. You have then as they should be. As Dan pointed out. It's worth doing and they are a focus of people when they are looking at the deck. A truly excellent build. Regards Antony.

    Hi Jonathan. Welcome to MSW. Nice choice of kit. Lots of rigging nice to get you tangled up. Watch there are NO warps in the board as they will get transferd into the model. Even the smallest warp will be devastating. All the best. Will be watching this wonderful ship being assembled. Regards Antony.

    Hi Nils. Nice find the fancy decore. They are spot on for your Chebec. Regards Antony.

    Hi Dave. Been a while since I've seen a cross section here on MSW Gotta follow along with this build. Keep it square and centred. Looks a nice kit. Regards Antony.

    Hi Zapto. Very nice work with your Friesland. Must say your workmanship is outstanding. Hint :- Hiding your led lighting wires in the mast. I used a knife and just cut a slit into the mast on each side. And then I pushed in a single strand of steel wire with the back of my knife into the slit. The wood closes up after inserting the wire. And it totally unnoticeable to the eye. (Copper wire is to soft to do this with) Have a nice new year. Regards Antony.

    Hi Dave. That's a lot of progress. Coming along very nicely. Take your time with the planking. Can Not rush it. Nice work with the clamps above. Have a nice new year. Regards Antony.

    Hi Mike. Steam and heat bend them. My method is to boil a kettle on the stove and hold both planks into the steam. Then wrap them around the kettle to cool down. Holding the planks in place with a strip of cloth. Yea it takes time but the planks are always over bent and that helps. Your planking looks spot on. Have a good new year. Regards Antony.

    Hi Nils. Sorry it's Off topic . Will you be doing a Junk ?. Looking at doing one as my next scratch build. Did you get any plans or are you going to use the Amati plans or the Artesania Latina red dragon plans. Regards Antony.
  19. AntonyUK
    Hi Nils. Like Michael above. Just catching up... wow amazing work on the stern and deck. And I've gotta remember your excellent method of cuttng round holes in the hull or deck. Have a nice christmass. Regards Antony.
  20. AntonyUK
    Hi David. That's a real nice looking model you have created there. Is there no handrail around the rear black stacks.? Finish in time before your next christmass gift model ? 4 days... Regards Antony.

      Hi.

      If the website is the one prohibit by chunk,i'm sorry that i can't publish or disseminate it in the forum.Another site, which contains many Chinese ship drawings, has been closed.

       

      If you need some drawings for research purposes, I can consider looking for it for you.

       

      It may be different from what you think. It's so rare that the ship model drawings drawn by Chinese . Instead, the European ship model company has developed a lot of Juncke drawings.

    Hi Dave. Welcome to MAW. Nice choice of kit for you to start with. Yes... sort the keel out first. Dampen the keel and lay it on a flat surface with the bow and stern toching the surface. The gap should be in the middle now. Place a 4mm packing under each end of the keel. Now place a weight in the centre on the keel. And leave it for 24 hours. Basically over bending it and hold in position for 24 hours. Take the opportunity to look at other builds logs. Regards Antony.
