Since I came to the city of Macau, I have met several local masters who used to make real boats. Because of the decline of Macau's shipbuilding industry and their retirement age, they can only show the real ships they have built through models. When I saw them, I immediately expressed to them my intention to learn. They taught me their craft of making boats without reservation.
So, together with another two model fans, I formally learned from the master the technique of making ancient Chinese GuangDong version sailboats.
The pictures below are the historical photos of the real ship, as well as the on-site record of the master teaching us to make the ship model. Finally, of course, our group photo is indispensable!
