Harvey Golden Posted December 3, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 3, 2020 Hello All, I've been building scratch models for some 10 years now-- everything from Aboriginal Australian canoes to C-3 freighters. Am enchanted with the diverse world of navigation, and I'm enjoying the variety (and skills in making!) in the galleries here. I'm an amateur builder; keeps the hands and mind busy!

Louie da fly Posted December 4, 2020 Share #15 Posted December 4, 2020 Ah and on the cover of the book I can see a "canoe tree", from which a panel of bark has been stripped to make the canoe . If you keep your eyes open you often see them out in the countryside. Simple, but apparently very worthwhile vessels if you knew how to deal with them.

luponero Posted December 6, 2020 Share #25 Posted December 6, 2020 Welcome Harvey, in the magical world of naval modeling, I see that you like canoes, I am attaching the image of an ancient canoe made with papyrus and dry straw used for fishing, they are still built in Sardinia, it is a primitive boat, thousands of old years and still alive in the ponds of Cabras and Mar'e Pontis are called "fassoni" again, welcome luponero Old Collingwood and mtaylor 2 Quote Lupo nero _______________________________________ finished models : Carrack Santa Maria by luponero - scale 1/50 - diagrams of Adametz https://modelshipworld.com/topic/19739-carrack-santa-maria-by-luponero-scale-150-diagrams-of-adametz-finished/ models under construction : Athenian triere of the 5th century B.C https://modelshipworld.com/topic/25956-athenian-triere-of-the-5th-century-bc/ San Giovanni Battista 1598 by luponero - Medicean galleon https://modelshipworld.com/topic/25930-san-giovanni-battista-1598-by-luponero-medicean-galleon/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Golden Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share #26 Posted December 7, 2020 Thank you Luponero! I'm quite interested in "reed" boats as they are/were fairly ubiquitous 'round the world at certain latitudes. It's my hunch schedule craft were likely the first vessels created by humans, as they don't necessarily require any tools at all. I'd heard of them from Sardinia, so it is nice to not only see a photograph, but to see they still exist there. Here in Oregon-- they still exist as well, occasionally still being made by the Northern Paiute out near the community of Burns. Once the pandemic passes, I'd like to make one with them. Thank you, and thank you all. Old Collingwood and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luponero Posted December 7, 2020 Share #27 Posted December 7, 2020 You're very good Harvey, I saw the canoes you make, beautiful !!! It seems that the canoes they make in Sardinia are similar to those made in Peru on Lake Titicaca by the pre-Columbian populations. I wish you to canoe with the Paiute natives very soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ATDR7FfVxc with regard black Wolf mtaylor, Old Collingwood and Harvey Golden 3 Quote Lupo nero _______________________________________ finished models : Carrack Santa Maria by luponero - scale 1/50 - diagrams of Adametz https://modelshipworld.com/topic/19739-carrack-santa-maria-by-luponero-scale-150-diagrams-of-adametz-finished/ models under construction : Athenian triere of the 5th century B.C https://modelshipworld.com/topic/25956-athenian-triere-of-the-5th-century-bc/ San Giovanni Battista 1598 by luponero - Medicean galleon https://modelshipworld.com/topic/25930-san-giovanni-battista-1598-by-luponero-medicean-galleon/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
