woodrat got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in The Elusive Hulc by woodrat - FINISHED - 1:32 - plank-on-frame - a speculative reconstruction of a mediaeval merchantman
I have a couple more drafts. One is long and wide the other is shorter and narrower.
Cheers

woodrat got a reaction from BANYAN in Yenikapi12 by woodrat - FINISHED - 1/16 scale - a small Byzantine merchant vessel of the 9th century
I got the crumbs out by turning upside down and hitting it with a wooden mallet. I am worried that the hulc model may turn out to be a bread-barge in disguise after all. So the Port Admiral may still win.

Our hearts bleed with empathy oozing from our every pore at the thoughts of our southern brothers and sisters in thrall to Covid. The least we can do is have some more dip and another sip of wine. 😢
The Port Admiral did not want to release the bread-boat back to the boatbuilders, however, and tried to claim it as a gift. After a brief mutiny, It has returned to the shed for decking and rigging.

Thanks, Banyan, I think I will just let the wood seak for itself. I have an aversion to stains and paint except under special circumstances.
Here is the hull with gunwales fitted and pinned with dowels. The centre plank is jarrah and different to the other planks on the gunwale. I ran out of wood. But it does show up the sigmoid horizontal scarf.

woodrat got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in The Elusive Hulc by woodrat - FINISHED - 1:32 - plank-on-frame - a speculative reconstruction of a mediaeval merchantman
Here is the start of planking.
The garbord strakes
and the next two strakes. Note the rabbeted breasthook at stem and stern into which to bolt the strakes. This I think is the "collar" seen on a lot of pictures of hulcs.

woodrat reacted to Schrader in Byblos by Schrader - FINISHED - 1:32 - Egyptian Seagoing Ship
Hello all......
I already brought the diorama Base......
The idea is to build a dry dock “simulation...... and in the back side I’ll build a “wall” simulating the Sahure King tomb (. Let’s remember that the “Byblos ship pictures were found in his tomb).....
Well...... I went to the “odonthology” method.... and using the PLASTER CASTING material I created the “wall”..... but first I took the drawing from Landstrom book, imported to Autocad and created a full picture with 25 cm long....
Then I put it over the “wall” and with carbon paper I reproduced the image over it.....
Created the “stones”.....
And started to carving all these “details”.....
It is going to be a long way before it is finished....

woodrat reacted to druxey in 10th-11th century Byzantine dromon by Louie da fly - FINISHED - 1:50
The completed model and its presentation are terrific!
[Moriarty voice]: Come here little fellow.
[Bluebottle voice]: Yes, my captain?
[Moriarty]: How would you enjoy a nice long cruise, blue waters and sunshine?
[B]: I'd love it. But...but... I have not got the pennies for it.
[M]: Don't you worry your little empty head, my lad. It's all free.
[B]: Even the blue waters?
[M]: Oh, yes, indeed. Walk this way up the gangplank...Now sit down here. (Sounds of locks, chains, hammers on anvils, etc.)
[B]: Oh, is the ankle bracelet free too?
[M]: Absolutely! And the best thing of all.
[B]: What is that, my captain?
[M]: You can't fall into the water now!

Just to show I haven't repented the errors of my ways, here is the "keel plank" being heat bent to shape and stuck to supporting molds .
Cheerio
