Mast:
Supllied sail :
These ships had no keel, so stability was low.
For more stability the Egyptians exerted a rope over the length of the ship.

This is a reposting of a former buildlog, the build is finished and photo's of the result are shown in the galery.
The ship was used during the reign of King Sahoere from Egypt, he was the 2nd King of the 5th Dynastie.
He reigned from 2487 bC till 2475 bC, so this is an early build.
The ship was used for transporting cedar and ebony form Libanon to Egypt.
Nails were not invented yet, the entire ship is put together with rope.
Overall length: 35 cm.
Kit and content:
Enough rope :
Starting:
Tiny and vulnerable:
It didn't fit to well, some repairs were needed:
First planking:
Drikking holes for the rope:

Very nice build. I am currently starting this kit myself. How did you get the hull bottom to bend around those curves in the prow and stern?
Thanks

wim500 reacted to riverboat in Alert by riverboat - FINISHED - Krick - 1/25th scale
"UP DATE TIME"......... I just finishd up the main mast rigging and put the name on the stern''''
looks like I got all of the ropes tied off to where they're supposed to be,if not I can always say the Capt. is trying out a new belaying plan. No major problems were encountered on this journey, (again, thanks to Dirks excellent build) The mizzen will be next, then I'll add the jib sails....... I still need to add ropes to the cleats and belaying pins, but that will be the last thing I do along with the oars, and the rope railing.
Thanks for look'n in!!
Frank
Thanks again for look'n in.......

Hi Peter,
Thanks for looking in.
I cannot read Korean language, so it is possible the plate name is upside down.
It was a 50% chance
It will be difficult to turn it now.

Hi Wim,
It's looking awesome!
My wife advises that it looks like you have the name plate on upside down (not that I would know).
You might want to double check..
Keep up the great work,
Peter
