On Blog -Safari I stumbled on this....
At Fine Scale Modeller. A great account of converting the diminutive old Heller kit of 1/225 biremes.
And then I found a remarkable and beautiful trieres carved from ivory ! And it was not alone......
This is the work of a master craftsman, David Warther II. He has carved ships since the age of 6 and has a museum containing an entire 'History of the Ship' in ivory. His technique includes scrimshaw and super-fine construction. All at 1/8" to the foot. STUNNING.

Interesting to see that post on FSM referencing my Trieres work in progress ... :-) Regards, Max
