yancovitch Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share #34 Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) thanks ej....will remove the viking ship from the display as they only sailed there once or twice and hundreds of years later....may try to add a minoan galley after the trireme is built, if i can find enough info..

Louie da fly Posted April 7, 2019 Share #35 Posted April 7, 2019 Well, actually there was a regular Viking trade route down the rivers of Russia to Constantinople, and the Vikings of Russia sailed south to attack the City at least once (fleet destroyed by Greek Fire). Also, Harald Hardrada did a fair bit of sailing around the mediterranean working for the Byzantines. BUT . . . Viking ships in the Mediterranean? Not sure. Harald would have been sailing in Byzantine ships, and the trading vessels may not have got south of Constantinople. On the other hand there was at least one Viking fleet that came through the Straits of Gibraltar and roamed and raided around the Med. But the Minoan galley sounds really interesting.

yancovitch Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share #38 Posted April 11, 2019 ok...viking is done, but it is going to a friend.....hmmm...i think i'll darken the oars first now that i look at it.......i may build another, as i could do better, now that i know the in's and out's of the kit...or i may leave it out of the display altogether........haven't decided.... well the trireme trust's trireme is on it's way....the brain melting part is over, trying to decipher their plans......and a friend sent me the 3d printer oars....all 170 of them....al la prochaine paulsutcliffe, druxey, EJ_L and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yancovitch Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share #41 Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) yea, the dusek trireme is probably a nice kit, but i wanted to get it closer to the full sized replica in greece.......although my oar configuration will be somewhat different.... also the lumber will be a bit oversized, as my fingees would find it too hard to do scale ....... i had a hard time trying to figure out the trireme trust's plans...so again, it will be a close enough for jazz model .....

yancovitch Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share #42 Posted May 4, 2019 this is how they will be displayed with a burgundy velvet background.........i removed the viking ship and am replacing it with a minoan galley from wall drawings at knossos.......working on the case for them to keep off the dust while i finish them...... bruce d, JohnB40, druxey and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yancovitch Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share #44 Posted May 20, 2019 still have much more work to do on all of them but the hardest parts are over with...this is how they will appear...couldn't light it properly but i ordered some strip led's to go around the front sides and top which i hope will work well.....the minoan will have a colored tarp on top hanging down a bit on the sides...all guess work of course....i figured the platform on back was for boarding and there will be a couple of ladders hanging down ....guess they backed the ship on to the beach...i made the platform wide to accommodate this.... next the relaxing picky work....stress work is over.....
