Danstream Posted October 17, 2020 Share #92 Posted October 17, 2020 Spectacular model @MESSIS, not commonly seen and very evocative of stories from dawn of civilization. I have followed it with interest. You made me pick up again these old books. Well done, Dan.

Roger Pellett Posted January 1, 2021 Share #97 Posted January 1, 2021 A wonderful model! You have nicely captured what I think that one of these ancient vessels should look like- Light and Graceful. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MESSIS Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share #98 Posted January 1, 2021 @Roger Pellett thank you very much. "Light and graceful" were not all ships at that time, the commercial ships had very deep huls indeed, in order to transport more load and they were heavy and sailed only by their sail. The war ships, as Odysseus ship, were used to transport the warriors, there arent any refereneces of sea battles , so they were light, flexible and fast, in order to invade suprisly or attack and withdraw fast etc etc. Hope thats interesting.... and doesnt make me look "a wise guy". bigpetr, Roger Pellett and Edwardkenway 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Pellett Posted January 1, 2021 Share #99 Posted January 1, 2021 Wise guy? No! Not at all. Your construction of this beautiful model is evidence of your research. Thanks for sharing it with us. Roger Edwardkenway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foremast Posted May 17, 2021 Share #100 Posted May 17, 2021 Great work, Christos. I think it was impossible - at the time - to make all oars the same. So little differences add realism to the model. About the replica: if you need oarsmen, whistle to me. Cheers Alex Quote If any of you cry at my funeral, I'll never speak to you again!

MESSIS Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share #101 Posted May 17, 2021 Hi alex, Thank you for your comments. I do think of using oarsmen and ofcourse a captain and a pilot.... but what do you have inmind? Christos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foremast Posted May 17, 2021 Share #102 Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) I saw your photo of a sailor replica (post #65) so I have just offered myself as a part of the crew ! Alex (edit) it was a joke, of course😉 Edited May 17, 2021 by Foremast Quote If any of you cry at my funeral, I'll never speak to you again!
