Egyptian Seagoing Ship “Byblos” by Hellmuht Schrader - 1:32


Recommended Posts

Amazing build! Very interesting, captivating, well researched and absolutely unique. I learnt a lot about these Egyptian vessels. On top, your outstanding workmanship made your build a pleasure to follow.

Congratulations and now the difficult question is: what's next?

Best regards,

Dan.

Congratulations, Hellmuht! You've done a beautiful job of this model; a combination of thorough research, inspired guesswork when the information wasn't available, and superb craftsmanship.

Thanks a lot to you all. Your comments an your likes always motivate me to start and most important “to finish”.  I’ve seen a lot of unfinished projects in different scenarios, which is really sad.

 

with all this positive comments you all make me blush.

 

Next I have several alternatives but looking for

 

1. finally to have “my viking” where with the help of this forum, there are enough research and documentation.

 

2. a Quanzhou Ship.  Which is a first century Chinese Junk.  Where there is not that much information (pretty less that the Egyptian one)

 

BUT FIRST.... finishing the “diorama” where the idea is not to build a very complex one but a real Egyptian surroundings. 
 

again. Thanks a lot!!

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....

  • 2 weeks later...

For the “first” floor I decided to go after a Egyptian shipyard.......

this suppose to be the “original”

It was not found in the Sahure tomb.  It was found in a Tomb named “The Mastaba of Ty”. Also from the fifth dynasty.  I took the first picture imported it to Autocad scaled it and....boom....

 

With a carbon paper I copied it in the wall.....

And started the carving process.....

Once I finished (one week later..., or at least I thought I finished.... this is the result

Then the ocre washing process....

Here I am again.......

 

I just decided to add a couple of columns......

 

In the left one, I’ll go with King Sahure and his wife Meretnebery

And in the right one will have god RA (sun god) and god Anubis (tomb guardian).....

Now let’s put them together and let’s see how is going to be in our base....

That is one amazing backdrop.  Not only is it well done, it complements the model without overpowering it.

Here we are again.....progress in the base.....

 

First I made a stone simulation/distribution in the MDF

Second I applied the stone-cast on top of it, making sure that the stones joints needed to be marked

I installed the wood beams....

Third.... I brought the stone wall and the ship to see how the set is looking..... in the showcase

 

19B59703-BC2F-44FD-9E13-218EA2689567.thumb.jpeg.c839278ee93ae5d553209f9392bab9cd.jpeg

Then.  We need to age the stones and start installing the sand.....

I thought the ship itself was beautiful but your display takes things to a lot higher level.  Spectacular.
