Thanks @Lusitani 😊. I know what you mean. I'm a stickler for scale and had to double, triple check that I had the scale correct 😉. So many depictions of triremes simply have the crew and hoplite marines way too small, making the vessel look much larger. Both trireme and hoplites are at 1:30 scale 😀
Thank so much, appreciate your comments! I started, to keep me sane from a hectic work-travel environment, by building and creating things (all kinds of things) in the 90's. My better half bought me a kit and even though I enjoyed building from it, I noticed the limitations and shortcomings! So I figured I'll try to see what I can do and come up with myself. 911 happened around the same time and destroyed most of my engineering business, so I figured I' may as well stop travelling and start this new thing I enjoyed doing. Never looked back since. Yes, I do cut, plane and shape all of the wood myself but I do purchase and start with sheets of wood of all kinds; mahogany, cherry, maple, walnut, teak etc.
@@artofageofsail that is brilliant John. I love making things also although I don't get much time to do it but I find it very therapeutic. I was searching the other day and found a pdf of some plans for a Trireme that looks very similar but I don't think it has any patterns in it. I would love to get some time to try although I have very limited tools. Did you make the little figurines also?
@@GreenthumbsGarden The figurines were purchased. I rarely add figures, think they distract from a model (human eyes tend to gravitate to human likenesses), but in this case (both scale 1/30), they may have created some additional interest and show relative scale perhaps!?
Fantastic work. The figures really help sell it after the build was complete. Have to wonder how you replicated all the framing. Was it by hand or did you use some kind of jig or even cnc cutting? Regardless lovely work.
Thank you for asking. Plans/drawings are currently in the works. They will be ready somewhere in January 2022. They will be available here: the-art-of-age-of-sail.myshopify.com/collections/technical-drawings
Wonderful and compelling. A beautiful build! 🌟👍
More than a masterpiece. Not only the ship, but the video also
Thanks you, appreciate it very much 😊
Truly gorgeous, amazing details!! Greek soldiers add a lot to an already splendid work...Thumbs up! 👍
Appreciate it! Thank you!
Most beautiful ship ever.
Thanks so much Juan 😊
⭐️ Fantastic build and a beautiful model ⭐️ 👍
Thank you 😊
Great work!
Appreciate it! Thank you!
It looks awsome. Great job. Funny thing is i always thought they would be bigger....considering the hoplite marines size.

Superb, museum quality, congratulations.

Thank you 😊
Looks like the Dusek kit. nicely done.
Thanks. All custom designed and built trojan. No links to any kit.
superbe !
Merci Jérôme
T h a t i s n e a t. Love it.
Much appreciated lilien 😊 Thank you!
C'est un magnifique travail. quelle sont vos bases de recherches pour arriver à un tel résultat. Un plan, des travaux personnels ?
Merci, j'apprécie beaucoup. J'ai élaboré les plans à partir de sources pour la plupart originales et historiques.
I echo all of the other positive comments. Absolutely stunning, amazing, beautiful. Could you tell me what is the symbol on the sail and its meaning?
Much appreciated, thank you 😊
It's a Gorgon!!!
@@artofageofsail thank you!
@@540BC You're welcome, apologize for the late response ... was going to ... then promptly forgot 🥴
@@artofageofsail haha not a problem
I love it John, what a work of art. I would love to try and build something like this, where did you start? Do you cut the wood yourself?

@@artofageofsail yes! I think the figurines were a awesome addition. It enhances the realism of the structure.
@@artofageofsail can I ask where you found the figurines John? I'd love to get some.... They can over see the construction that might take years 😅
Fantastic work. The figures really help sell it after the build was complete. Have to wonder how you replicated all the framing. Was it by hand or did you use some kind of jig or even cnc cutting? Regardless lovely work.
Thanks so much William. All done by hand!
Lindo modelo, felicitaciones Es de alguna casa comercial ????
¡Gracias Luis! Está 100% diseñada y construida a medida para un cliente.
@@artofageofsail Ufffffff Mis respetos, y con mayor razón FELICITACIONES
@@luisalbertoorozcovasquez9353 😊🙂
where you bought it? Does it come with the miniatures of the Athenians?
Trireme designed and built for a client. Miniatures out of Russia! Both at a scale of 1:30.
Was this a set or built from scratch
Designed and built from scratch Sam.
hi, this model is amazing and I would love to replicate this for a school major project, are there any plans I can work from
Thanks!!! Maybe ... Contact me by email at: jandela@ageofsail.net
Is there a plan for this ship?
