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

The starting material

the historic Ideal.

Where I stand so far.

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.

Finally adding some paint seems like it took forever to get to this stage http://fencingfrog.blogspot.com/2016/09/war-galley-for-en-garde-8-finally-some.html

The War Galley isn't quite done yet but its getting closer and la Venganza De Montoya will probably see action Thursday.
