Greek Bireme 6Th Century B.C. 1/72 Dusek D001

Now that I have finish a series of 10 figurine and 2 military kit
Here my new ship project a gift that I receive at Christmas
I think it is the first model produce by Duseck

Not very much in the kit 2 scale drawing sheet and a small instruction booklet
The wood look to be of good quality

So here we go I want to do this one before going back to the Royal Louis

Charles, you aren't kidding when you said you had lots of kits ready to finish? Will watch.

I seem to remember a guy on the French forum (possibly Gerard Delacroix) doing an animated video of a bireme or galley. Maybe you know?

Keith might have see Delacroix at some point
But saw the work of somebody recently that was a kind of reference to Arthur

Looks to be a good site Charles. The first photo of the Oseberg ship brought back memories. I was 19 and took a trip to Norway. Saw the Oseberg close up in the Bygdoy museum. love the construction of those Viking ships.

The bireme looks like a well-designed POB model-- good wood! Shame about Robin's bulkheads. For plywood I always try to buy what is known as "Baltic Birch". It usually has more plys and no voids than fir stuff. Hope they replace his plywood.

That is my French forum where I am active a lot.
As I said to you they shoot in all direction plane, tank, ship, RC, SF, figurines, plastic wood even sea shell
Look at this

For Robin yes usually (of course except Murphy law) when a kit is produce it pass some inspection to avoid that type of mishap. But there are other factor transports and storage got 7 woods kits in my basement and the humidity/dryness is controlled to avoid problem. It is also important for my paint, brush and plastic kit décalque.

Keith I just remember about Delacroix reference
Her the link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYxrbtuyNG0
I was keeping it as reference that I will use when I build My Real de France.
After
The Bireme
The Royal Louis (only the mast to complete)
The Syren
And the Säo Miguel (before my lady climb the wall) that ship is her ship
That will be follow by the Yacht D’Oro
La Couronne
And the Seguin that I might or not do RC
