Hi,
I have been busy with a house renovation and finally my "home office" is liveable enough to use my good computer again. The model I present today is inspired on Roman barges used on rivers. It is just uploaded and waiting approval.
Quite a few were discovered along the Dutch part of the Limes, in particular the "Oude Rijn" part. They vary quite a bit in length and width. This model, scaled at my favourite 1:160 is about 3 m wide and 15 m or so long.
The hull does consist of parts A (outer) and B (inner part, bottom only). These parts lack glue tabs, make them as you see fit. Part B does need some trimming to fit on the inside. Part C, the deckhouse or cabin, goes to the backside of the model (the side were it mentions A and B). Part D is the mast bench and goes at about 1/4 to 1/3 the length form the bow-side.
All in all a small model, most of the paper is occupied by the "riverbank". The quay (kade) is made up of planks. The mud flat, the Rhine was tidal along a long stretch inland might need some extra colour, as long as it is grey.
Mast, yard and bollards can best be made from toothpicks or the like.
I happen to have only one picture left of the model, in a not yet finished state, as soon as I am back in office, were the model sits in a showcase, I will present a slightly better picture.
