In the last days, I’ve been studying a lot of things about the Chinese Junks at the same time, thinking about which could be my next project. Finally I reached the conclusion that the Quanzhou Ship, which was discovered in 1973 and dated from the 13th century, would be a real challenge, as well a really interesting way to understand these magnificent vessels.
This ship contradicts several theories that were known for certain by then, and with this log, I’ll do my best to show them all to you
I’ve chosen 1:54 scale, since (according with estimations) this ship was about 28 m length and 10 m beam. So with the convention the model will be aprox. 52 cm long, “matching” my preference about model size.
Let’s start !!!!!
