overdale got a reaction from yvesvidal in Roman Merchant Vessel by overdale - 1st Century AD & Shipwreck Artifact
As an alternative to the tiled roof, I added a curved wooden roof that would have been covered in tar to waterproof it like below the waterline. Also added the hatch covers.The whole thing will of course be weathered so the colors won't be so strong when finished.

Yes, it will be square rigged.

A lot of contemporary images show a tiled roof, in fact, more than a wooden one, so I went with the flow, but of course, it's anyone's guess. I'lll see how it looks when it's painted. I can always change it.

overdale got a reaction from John Allen in Wood masts for a plastic model... Tips?
Get yourself a pack of bamboo kebab skewers from the supermarket and a draw plate from Model Expo or Ebay. You can make some very passable small scale wooden masts with those.

Jimmy Durante?? I'd like to think the Venice plan (if it is legit the Enterprise at all) is possibly just a conjectural plan that possibly wasn't even fully implemented. Still even as it is the plans may serve useful if just to study the layout of ships similar to the Enterprise at that time period. The ideal in my opinion would be to take the lines off the half-hull and compare it to the model and the various "plans" to see how closely they match up... if at all.

Here are images of the 7th century Yassi Ada ship
and the early 11th century Serc,e Limani ship
lines
and 3d image. Some things just don't change all that much.
It's interesting that both ships of which we have the lines have very flat bottoms and an almost rectangular cross-section. Good for carrying cargo, maybe not so good for sailing.

On to the water base. A simple masonite box was made with the wave pattern cut into all four sides.
The box was filled with urethane foam.. Then carved to follow the wave lines.
A hole cut out for the hull.
The waves were covered in spackle and smoothed. They will eventually be covered in glass fiber.
The rudder oar posts were added and the tile roof test fitted.

Wow, thanks Steven, that's amazing.. My estimate was just a guess.
Maybe I should go out and buy a lottery ticket while I'm on such a lucky streak

I had made a start a year or two back but was sidetracked by other work as usual.
I built the deck house first to get an idea of the rest of deck layout.
