Keith Simmons Posted April 24, 2016 Share #1 Posted April 24, 2016 I decided to try a more advanced style of a hollow hull and as usual with no specific theme in mind..lol. I started with some scrap pine and ran it through my table saw at a 22.5 bevel. Then just started to to glue them up to a 33.5 degree keel. At the water line I reversed the angle and extended the hull to a desired deck width. Once that was done I added cross members for the decking and strength, ran the Cherry decking and sat back looking for a theme. Then it came to me, a Timber Framed sterncastle and of I went creating an Elven Prayer Ship. Silly I know, this stuff just comes to me...lol. The ship is made of just Pine and Cherry, and the final design is still evolving, hope you like the end result and the " hollow hull " evolution. Thanks for looking...

Louie da fly Posted April 24, 2016 Share #2 Posted April 24, 2016 A fascinating model, but I have to know - what is an Elven Prayer ship? A ship elves pray in? Or have I missed the point completely?

popeye the sailor Posted April 24, 2016 Share #4 Posted April 24, 2016 I think it's like a mission ship.......or perhaps a ferry {imagination and dream inserted}. I've played a few roll player games that involved elven lore....kinda contradicts the dictionary description.......but anyone who has played the game Divine Divinity....the game defines them as a race. as depicted, elves are mischievous......such as the fabled Loki. I'm sure Keith has a concept going I like your use of shapes here Keith........well blended together with the use of angles. the deck layout is very unique. really looks super! mtaylor, Elijah and Keith Simmons 3 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

Keith Simmons Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted April 24, 2016 Thanks for the comments, I envisioned the Kalavente ( Ship of Light ) as the Quenya ( a race of Elves ) way to cross Lake Evendim on a spiritual quest to pray to Tarannon ( Lord of the Gate ) on the summer solstice....

popeye the sailor Posted April 24, 2016 Share #6 Posted April 24, 2016 I was going to write a scenario such as that! figured I'd better quit while I was ahead yes.....there are many factions of elves.......woodland elves, etc.........I would imagine that there was a community that lived near water.

Keith Simmons Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share #8 Posted April 24, 2016 On the misty morn of the Summer solstice the Quenyan priests gather at the shore of Lake Evendim to board the Kalavente for the annual crossing in prayer to Tarannon, Lord of the Gate.....
