The latest issue of Miniature Wargames features a tutorial written by me showing how I scratch built a 1/72nd scale warship for the Sea People.

I really like that - have you done any Egyptian ships. Always wanted to build bot in 1/72 so this is really useful thank you.
-
have you done any Egyptian ships.
Long, long time ago in Airfix Magazine someone did a series
of articles on scratch-building ancient ships, & one was Egyptian.
No idea how to get the articles though. Maybe someone in the
LAF-verse might though.

I've certainly thought about building an Egyptian ship in the same scale. Maybe one day I'll get around to it.
I'd be interested in seeing the Airfix Magazine article - it sounds interesting.

Up to about ten years ago I could have found the article for you,
I had decades of War-gaming magazines. Storage space is however
finite. A BIG clear-out reduced the collection to ONLY forty drawers
of articles. Scratch building ships of the Ancients didn't make the cut.
:'(
Note. Had to have another cull of articles & gave a load away. :'( :'( :'(
-
I have that set of articles. It think it was a series of 5 or 6 (it's been a few years since I last looked at them) I will dig them out.

Good man! :)

Thank you.

Ship number 2 in the series was a Philistine warship Goliath

The missing "wordy" bit.

Phoenician warship "Melkart"

Phoenician warship "Melkart"

"Ramses" the first ship in the series
-
Number 4 was the Greek warship "Achilles"
-
I have mislaid number 5 though I KNOW have a spare copy of the magazine. Here is 6 the the Roman ship "Romulus"
-
The Airfix Magazine series ran November 1972 to April 1973 by the way. Number 5 was another Greek ship "Agamemnon"

I'm often easy to beat too! ;D

Thank you for the illustrations - I can see another 1/72nd scale ship coming soon. At least one and maybe more.....

Fantastic find have you got the year and number of each of these magazines - I have found this one https://ia601508.us.archive.org/4/items/Airfix_Magazine_1973_03/Airfix_Magazine_1973_03.pdf

Thanks for the trip down memory lane Golgotha.
I remember buying that (& many other) issues of Airfix Mag.
Some articles I just skipped through. Squadron colours never
interested me, but I devoured Buildings for Wargamers.
Interesting to see a mention of Carbon Tet. in the letters page,
as that was recently raised here on LAF.

Holy Moley George that stuff is gold dust! :o

Indeed, pure gold!
