We had a family weekend away in Katoomba this weekend. There was enough downtime for me to put together some biremes I'd been working on for Galleys & Galleons.
Here I am, hard at work in the kitchen on the house we rented.
(It was a big house - there were seven adults and one small child)
I mostly cut out all of the components for fourteen vessels before we went, so that all I had to do was glue them together. First I stuck the hulls, prows and oar-sections together, leaving them to dry for the afternoon.
And then it was just a matter of rounding off the sterns, adding the bow and stern-posts and finally a little strip of deck trim
In addition you can see a ship with lots of towers - I was having a play with a design for an over-the-top polyreme flagship.
I'm back home now, with a pile of new ancient galleys to paint, although I'm away on an extra-long weekend next weekend, since Mrs Kobold and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary.
