druxey Posted August 1, 2022 #31 Posted August 1, 2022 Just found your log. It's nice to see an unusual subject modeled, and so nicely as well! Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
woodrat Posted August 3, 2022 #32 Posted August 3, 2022 Thanks for choosing this beautiful topic. I would imagine this beast would be paddled not rowed because of its low freeboard and this fits with the maori waka or war canoe concept as Louie da Fly suggests. Do you think this would have been coated in pitch? But the grain of the wood is pretty. A lovely piece it will be.

shadowcaster Posted August 3, 2022 Author #33 Posted August 3, 2022 Hello, Hmm, I hadn't thought about that, but it makes a lot of sense that she would have been coated in pitch. mtaylor 1 Quote
shadowcaster Posted August 3, 2022 Author #34 Posted August 3, 2022 The first board for the rowers is laid. It is made of maple, and the wooden nails are made of ash. ccoyle, Waldemar, GrandpaPhil and 3 others 6 Quote
Waldemar Posted August 3, 2022 #35 Posted August 3, 2022 Woodrat's suggestion about paddling instead of rowing is quite clever, but you would then lose attractive outriggers. Difficult choice... mtaylor 1 Quote
Roger Pellett Posted August 3, 2022 #36 Posted August 3, 2022 Assuming that this is a warship, would paddling provide enough momentum for the ram to be effective? Roger Quote
Waldemar Posted August 4, 2022 #37 Posted August 4, 2022 We'll find out in the next photos of building this model 🙂 mtaylor 1 Quote
shadowcaster Posted August 5, 2022 Author #38 Posted August 5, 2022 Interesting discussion, with strong arguments. Unfortunately, I cannot judge who is right. I don't want to offend anyone, but I have decided to make the model according to the plans and schemes that I have. mtaylor 1 Quote

Louie da fly Posted August 5, 2022 #40 Posted August 5, 2022 Interesting idea about paddling, but contemporary representations on pottery show this type of ship was rowed, not paddled.

Waldemar Posted August 5, 2022 #41 Posted August 5, 2022 So the matter is finally solved, and even in the double way: archaeological and practical... mtaylor and Louie da fly 2 Quote

Waldemar Posted August 16, 2022 #52 Posted August 16, 2022 I am still not convinced about the transverse stability of such watercraft, but I would certainly place such an exotic-looking object with attractive lines in my living room. Simplicity of the construction does not matter here. By the way, for some reason it seems to me that actually only ship models are suitable for display in presentation interiors. With perhaps a few exceptions. Sorry tanks, jets and spaceships 🙂. Cristiano and mtaylor 2 Quote
