Howlin wrote:thank you, I put a lot more custom work into this one and still quite a bit to go really, many of the pieces are cut, then carved to shape, then glued, and cut or carved some more. I just want to solidify design before I fill in milliput in parts.


Question: would it be better to just have been better I just make one thread " Triremes, Biremes, and More"
so as I add ships they all stay together for those that want to follow? Or make a thread to give emphasis to what is new?


Yeah, it's very impressive, it's a lot of work and clearly you're dedicated to the project!

I don't know, mate. I think it's up to you, if you like to have multiple threads you can, or you can have a general thread about ships. It's just different ways of showing work on models I guess.

You have made a fantastic conversion on that ship, as well as the so complete research to carry it out, Howlin. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Well done. :thumbup:

Thank you all for the support, just sharing as so many great projects here have inspired me. And to have a thread to motivate me like a accountability partner to get them painted.

The next one is a total treat, a bonus, from the sows of buying too many models and kit bashing them. Stay tuned for surprises....

I am most excited....

Yeah I think project sharing is a good motivator, I have internal deadlines I have for myself, like try to paint a unit at least once every 3 months or something. And then you have periods where you're more enthusiastic and sometimes you lose that and life gets busier, but having an overall timeline and self-imposed obligation can help. I work in phases, so I can balance my life with my other hobbies, like writing.

Wonderful! full of creativity yet tremendously plausible and realistic. It looks amazing already, will be interesting to see how you paint it ;) .

Certainly, I think that a lot of times strict historical accuracy ends up being inaccurate! some modellers/companies think is only acceptable to make a unit exactly as described or shown in some contemporary source, but the truth is that the strange and the unique is usually much more common than most people think. Plus it is so much more fun to be creative!
