Next scale is c. 1/1000. These are scratch-built war-galleys for the Hellenistic period
They are made from plastic sheet, cardboard and paper. Using very fine scissors and knife.
Superglue is essential but be careful not to breathe it when working closely on fine details...I stuck my fingers together many many times. Superglue runs like lightning under capilliary attraction and will go up a gradient - be careful!
I made about 100 of them. Luckily they fit with my new cast ships.

| Pentereis in centre with mostly triereis. |

| Irregular 2mm strips as crews |
Casting is so much easier with just making a few masters. My fingers still hurt from these...
