To my mind that's half the fun of modelling and you're really putting in the "hard yards" on this one.

Schrader Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share #62 Posted April 15, 2021 Some other fittings I am working on are the “tents” that I’ll put on the deck. According with some photos..... Some other fittings I am working on are the “tents” that I’ll put on the deck. According with some photos..... Looks that these elements are built with some kind of wicker..... also according with Nick in this particularly zone of China this wicker has the pattern that the picture has. Instead of “plane weave”.... Should be “twill wave”...... I just found some “old style” envelopes cut the 2 mm strips and ...... this is the result.......

Louie da fly Posted April 16, 2021 Share #63 Posted April 16, 2021 That twill weave looks really good - it has the "diagonal" pattern that twill fabric exhibits. 2mm strips - that's quite a fine weave for just strips of paper. You've done an admirably neat job of it. Steven Cathead, Rik Thistle and mtaylor 3 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Louie da fly Posted April 18, 2021 Share #65 Posted April 18, 2021 Very nice. Is it adjustable for different widths? Steven mtaylor 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Schrader Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share #67 Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) As some of you know me...... let you guess...... I did not like it. The final result was not that good. Mono color and it did not look natural. The real thing was bamboo slices...... So I decided to go for a new tryout.... Lighter and thinner cardboard.... Some vinyl paint.... Cut it in 1 mm..... Then...... Definitely looks better and.......... Look at the bamboo 1:54 scale...😁....... I finally found the way to simulate the bamboo...... 1. Some brochettes bamboo sticks 2. Cut in half 3. With a 11 knife simulate the “knots” and...... just sharpies..... Black g\for the knots Orange.... and the yellow will “dissolve” the Orange.... this the final result For the interior “sandwich” the real thing use to be either bamboo sheath or some kind of natural fiber..... so I decided to use Raffia fiber.... Make the sandwich... bamboo..... Regards.....😇 And this is the result....

Schrader Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share #72 Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) It is time to come Back...... In the meantime I was trying to figure it out how the finishing could be since no one has ever seen this ship 🙃 After so many attempts finally I made this drawing...... which it adjusts in many ways to what we can find from that age and location..... Those ships did not have a lot of decorations Not big color production other than white ( comes from lime) is known The drawing is pretty much accepted by the archeologists due its simplicity. So I decided to go for it....... First the extra height to build the “fences” Then... the second plank layer...... lets remember So since those plank were made mainly of pine.... I took a tropical wood name Chingale, because the color and appearance...... Some “ornament” and starting the third plank layer...... this one was used more like a wale in those ships..... And finally with the third plank layer is going to look like this, with some other ornaments to install..... Yet.... more to come. I liked so I’ll start the starboard side........
