Not sure this ship model qualifies for this forum, if not feel free to move it or whatever.
It's not a WWII nor a Modern miliraty ship, just something I concocted from a book I read once.
It's sort of a cross between a Roman, and Greek Trimerre [I think that's the way you spell it].
Anyways, here are pics of her [she's not finished yet, she's a work in progress].
This is the cover of the book [found it on the net, the pareback book I had, is long gone], with a pic of the ship;
These are pics on my scratch model;
Sorry about the quality of some of the pics... Alternate cheap camera.... lol
The hull and most of the ship is made of wood. The hull is made out of a solid piece of pine wood, partly hollowed out. I cut and sanded the outside of the hull to the shape I wanted. Carved the figureheads [eagle heads] out of a wooden stick, I found. The rest of her is made out of whatever I could find laying around. Matchsticks, BBQ sticks, tooth picks, paper and cardboard.... Made the anchor out of matchsticks and pieces of aluminum sheets, the chains, well.... they're from old jewlery. Midway thru it, I decided to change the color [it was green, but I opted for a mahogany color]
Comments are welcomed.
