Überfall Getreideschiff 69 n. Chr

[dirk]

Wow, the rudder is very big.

I will make a silicone mold, cast it and contribute a resin copy for Mules of Marius / Krefeld Museum.
The wooden master I will keep myself and the model will be added to my product range for sale.

Now that’s good news! You can put me on the pre-order list for this ship, this model is definitely a must-have for me.

I understand and appreciate your desire to produce a model that reproduces the dimensions and construction details of a real find as accurate as possible.
However, from an archaeological perspective all these ship finds, such as Mainz or Zwammerdam, are of course only tiny random samples from a variety that must have been much larger in antiquity. So, a little artistic license here and there, as they obviously did in the Mainz Museum, is acceptable IMHO. But I agree that of course everything that is presented to the public must have a correct label, indicating which features are based on genuine finds and what was extrapolated or inferred.

Ich bin echt von deiner Kunst und auch vor allen Dingen von deinen Recherchen begeistert.

Das wird ein tolles authentisches Schiff und ebenfalls ein tolles Diorama werden!

Ich warte bis Cryns es fertig gestellt hat und dann werde ich es im Rhein versenken

[Cryns]

dann werde ich es im Rhein versenken

Solange du das in sehr teurem transparentem Epoxy machst, damit wir alles unter Wasser sehen können, finde ich es in Ordnung.

Thank you Dirk, StephB and Wolle.

That sounds perfect.

Yes I fully agree and for the modellers and collectors a universal ship type like this will be fine.
But for putting my country 'on the map' in the scale 1:72 world and for creating interest from museums and educational organisations, the reconstruction of a specific shipfind has my preference.

These woodworking looks great, what glue do You use?

Thank you Frank.
I use water soluble white glue (ponal), so not the water resistant type that is used for outdoor work.
Its important for me to have the possiblilty to undo my glue work by wetting it. When the semi transparent harened glue absorbs water, its weakened again and becomes white. Then the wooden parts can be taken apart.

Dear Cryns,
what you are showing us again is model making at its finest.
Your models are reduced art works of the originals.
I'm always amazed at the wonderful richness of detail in your work and with how much love your models are recreated.
Please keep up the fantastic work and let us continue to be a part of your research...

You are really incredible! That's no longer model construction, but original construction, just on a small scale.
