Be interested in the book ...! The other problem with 1/72 is that they are so big. I'd like to do a scene with shipsheds and a mole, but in 1/72 scale that's a fair old bit of space. I was looking at your various scale models, and trying to work out what the right balance was to see enough detail, but at the same time get enough space to have it work right. I was toying with 1/300, but haven't convinced myself yet. If you are interested I can show my WIP for my Trireme ... ?<br />Managementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217470058508076314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247406492805228364.post-34466785351693807922017-01-05T08:44:56.737+01:002017-01-05T08:44:56.737+01:00..and ship models tags......and ship models tags....Plasticvikinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949611855872874217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247406492805228364.post-24640388340421849392017-01-05T08:42:54.173+01:002017-01-05T08:42:54.173+01:00thanks for the comment.

The Zvezda model is very nice and your trihemiolia idea is nice. Rhodians and pirates woul dbe a nice scenario for them. Shame 1/72 plastic ships are so pricey. Check my models tags at right.Plasticvikinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949611855872874217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247406492805228364.post-63230184765813893192017-01-04T17:53:26.517+01:002017-01-04T17:53:26.517+01:00Just found your blog, wish I'd done so sooner ...Just found your blog, wish I'd done so sooner as I wouldn't have bought this Osprey ... I was very dissapointed ...! Not sure if you are into modelling, but if you look at the Zvezda Trireme against the Coates Trihemiola plan you should be able to make a decent one by flipping the outer panel of the oarbox and putting a series of Thalamian oarports underneath. Obviously it will need a ventilation course added on deck, but it would make a pretty good one. This is my next project after the Trireme (two Zvezda hulls to get the length, cut down sides, etc.).Managementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217470058508076314noreply@blogger.com
