Before I went away to the UK I'd started a new batch of galleys for Galleys & Galleons. I finally finished off the bases this week, so here they are.
There's four hexaremes, which will mostly act as squadron flagships.
I also did three larger ships. In Galleys & Galleons everything larger than a hexareme is called as a 'polyreme' - powerful but slow and impractical. I did a couple of that looked conventional and another one with some over-the-top towers.
And, talking of over-the-top, I have this one on the go. Still a polyreme, but a double-hulled one for the most ostentatious successor admiral.
The smaller vessel is a design for a penteconter I'm working on. The base is a coffee-stirrer rather than the traditional lolly-stick.
These look very good! I presume the double-hulled vessel is something to be added to the navy of Demetrius Polyorcetes? I have somewhere about the place a very nice 'Scientific American' article about some of the more ambitious naval projects from around his his time.
