glykan Posted December 10, 2022 Share #1 Posted December 10, 2022 Hi everyone, Glad to meet you guys and happy to find here a lot of very useful info and an inspiration for my next projects. I am rather new to this hobby and started just over a year ago. Put together two simple Artesania Latina models (Swift - finished and Red Dragon - 70% done) rather for training purpose. Stumbled upon a video on YouTube about making the ship models using ice cream sticks and bamboo skewers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFCxvphRl5U and decided to give it a try. I pushed the technique a bit further and got myself three nice models using nothing more than chopsticks, skewers and cheep craft wood from Dollarama: If anyone is interested, I can try to put together some kind of a building log though it will be a bit sketchy -I didn't documented the progress in details. My current project is 1:50 POB model of Roman quadrireme from scratch (I've started the building log here) though I still didn't decide if I want to build it from bamboo sticks (it was an original idea) or I should opt for model-grade planks and veneers. Or should I go somewhere in between? I'll see how it goes... Regards, Eugene Harvey Golden, mtaylor, druxey and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_Grant Posted December 11, 2022 Share #11 Posted December 11, 2022 Actually there are two clubs in Ottawa, one for static builds and one for RC. Sad to say I had never been to a single meeting of either (I spent 37 years NOT doing models until 2014) until just last week, when I received an invite from someone who I guess saw my location in MSW. mtaylor and Keith Black 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
