As a Malaysian gamer I'm quite keen to see how this turns out

Thanks fellas. Things move along. I have both canoes undercoated. I have the initial coat of paint down on the hull, upper deck, and aft decoration on one prahu. The swivel, ropes, screen, and bamboo framework still require a first coat. The yellow striping looks distinctly orange at this point. I am trying to model a color based on ground turmeric, which is found in the Pacific. As the layers build it will become more yellowish in tone.

Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight.

I have the second coat of paint on everything but the ropes. The second ink coat goes on tomorrow. Here is how she is looking.

I wanted to get some shots of the interior bamboo, which I think turned out pretty well but doesn't photograph well.

This may be a little better.

Here is a head on shot, which would be a pretty scary view if you didn't have some pretty heavy firepower to respond with.

This looks very nice, a very special project.

What are you planning to play with this? Vs. British, vs, Dutch, vs. Chinese or other Dayaks?

Absolutely stunning work!

Such beautiful scratch building  :o

Thanks for sharing.  I’m inspired to try harder on my own projects.
