Title: 3D Puzzle to War Galley (With Project updates)
Post by: Fencing Frog on August 30, 2016, 12:15:21 PM
A little project I have in the works, using a 3d Puzzle to create a War Galley for my En Garde War Band.  I would welcome any observations or suggestions.  My goal is to make something that works well as a platform for skirmish gaming but is still recognizable as a Galley.  http://fencingfrog.blogspot.com/search/label/Building%20a%20Galley (http://fencingfrog.blogspot.com/search/label/Building%20a%20Galley)

Not bad start.
Although  I am not sure where is bow of the ship.

It would be better for prow to be at the Junk stern as the stern of a galley should be only part rising up.
And fighting platform of a Galley was on the bow before benches.

I am thinking with very similar project to yours as I am thinking about small galliot or bergantine.
But I will go with scratch build from paper route.
