Ancient Naval

Temporary inability to access email and the internet has had the slight bonus of seeing me painting rather more and playing Elder Scrolls Online considerably less!

As you can see, I am now returned to the digital world courtesy of a very nice Virgin Media engineer so I thought I'd post some pics of the slow progress of my ancient galley fleets. All of the (planned) Carthaginian fleet is now painted and the bulk of the merchants fleet too.

Pictures of the merchant ships below, with a Navwar quinquireme from previous post to show relative sizes.

From the front, two Navwar Greek coastal traders, Langton sea-going Roman trader, Langton's massive Frumentarii 1200 ton grain ship - actually to scale it is slightly smaller in length and breadth than the figures given for the "Isis" when she docked at Piraeus in the 1st Century AD - then a Navwar quinquireme, two Navwar Roman coastal traders and finally a Langton wrecked quinquireme.

Please tell me those sail markings are transfers

Is that Lino?

Yep, a one metre length of a 2m wide vinyl flooring. Cost less than a tenner iirc.

Please tell me those sail markings are transfers

Much as I would love to be able to say they were hand painted I'm afraid that I do not have the time, talent or hand-eye coordination for that. Part of my extensive stock of GW waterslide transfers.
