JONQUE CHINOISE - 18e siècle.

Ce modèle représente une jonque chinoise caractéristique, encore construites de nos jours pour la plaisance, mais principalement pour les transports, la capacité de chargement étant très importante. Il n'était pas rare de trouver en mer de Chine des jonques percées de sabords et armées de canons, s'adonnant à la piraterie. Actuellement encore, certains parages ne sont pas toujours sûrs. Les jonques sont des bâtiments très rapides et relativement faciles à manœuvrer, grâce à leur voilure particulière et à leur gouvernail qui peut être descendu sous le niveau de la quille et servir ainsi de dérive. La proue relevée "surfe" à la surface de la mer sans la "tailler" comme le font les proues immergées. Dans le port de TienTsin, les jonques cargo les plus grandes peuvent atteindre une longueur de 50 mètres et porter jusqu'à cinq mâts. Les jonques de moindre importance n'ont que les trois mâts traditionnels, misaine, grand-mât et artimon, portant des voiles (anciennement en nattes) cousues sur des cannes en bambou. Hormis la motorisation, seule concession au modernisme, les constructeurs de jonques ont toujours conservées intactes, les caractéristiques traditionnelles de ces embarcations typiques.

:flaguk: CHINESE JUNK 18th century.

This model represents a typical Chinese Junk, still built nowadays for leisure, but mainly for transport, the capacity of loading being very important. It was not rare to find either at sea of China, junks armed of guns, being devoted to piracy. Actually, certain places are not always completely sure. The junks are very fast and relatively easy to operate, thanks to their particular set of sails and their rudder which can be descended under the level of the keel and to thus be used as drift. The raised prow is surfing on the surface of the sea without "cutting it" as do the immersed prows. In the port of Tien Tsin, the largest cargo-junks can reach 50 meters in length and carry up to five masts. The junks of less importance have only the three traditional masts, foresail, main-mast and mizzen, carrying sails (in the past in mat) bent on bamboo canes. Except the motorization, only concession with the modernism, the junk manufacturers always preserved intact, the traditional characteristics of these typical boats.

Erm, even though I'm not a junk boat / ship fan, I am now looking at these vessels with different eyes, so to speak, and what is grabbing my attention is those fan-fantastic looking sails. 8-)

If I had a fraction of your skill, I'd like to try and create conceptual versions starting with a junk boat / ship. Maybe mixing the roughness looks of the corsairs shown in one of the LOTR movies but, with dragon wings and stuff. Or, something like that. LOL

This is amazing!

I've seen models of this kind of quality in museums. The detail definitely looks astounding! How long does it normally take you to make these?

Overall, impressive!

Is this going to a museum or a collector? It's too beautiful to be tucked away from the public. This not just museum quality, it's movie quality as well... With the proper lighting , camerawork, and background, this would look like a real ship on the ocean.
