Galley Shipyard

I decided to tweak my scratchbuilt ancient galleys a little yesterday. I'd never been happy with how I'd broken up the flat decks, and decided to do something better. This is how they look now; I think they're more aesthetically pleasing.

I did the same for some galleys I put together last year but hadn't started painting. I'm expanding my forces to include more quadriremes and quinqueremes, as well as a couple of hexareme flagships. Galleys & Galleons only has one type larger than that - a catch-all polyreme for anything bigger than a six. I'm still working on a design for those.

The two galleys at the front are rough drafts for a bireme design. I like it, so I have cut out all the necessary bits for another fourteen of them, which I will assemble this weekend when I'm away on a short family break.

This will add some more stuff to my currently active painting table.

I have been thinking about a possible different design for my triremes, but since I only redesigned them last year I might hold off on that for a little, since this one would require scrapping them and starting from the ground up. Not sure I fancy that at the moment.
