AMP - Accurate Model Parts

Greetings!
Just completed Roman Liburnia Bireme. Starting with the wood kit from Mantua, the model was subsequently modified and enhanced in several areas. Rather than the ornate configuration featured in the Mantua kit, I decided to depict a more austere and streamlined vessel that I imagined better reflected what a commonly deployed Roman warship would look like. Double plank on frame construction with a scratch built styrene ram modeled after the Athlit ram, an actual ancient warship ram found in 1980 off the coast of Israel. Sail is modified from the kit and the eyes are decals I made on my printer. Finished in stained and natural wood, sealed with satin polyurethane. Not certain as to the scale, it seems to be around 1/48 based on my best guess. Many thanks for looking, your questions and comments are always welcome.
Cheers,
Bill

Very nice build. You did great with the planking. Great job on the stern and stem. Your wood working skill is well up there. Nice job. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Many thanks! Working with wood is a very nice change from plastic and resin. At times it was a tedious build, but overall I had fun and found the wood to be a rewarding medium.
