Ancient Greek Bireme: "The Sun Dolphin"
A model by IMAI which is a remake of an Atlanitic produced ship model. While the Atlantic model is quite rare and collectible from my observations is much more chunky and the IMAI version is superior.
I used artist acrylic tube paints, and the water is done with bathroom tissue and Mod Podge, then painted, and then added on tuffs of cotton balls with more Mod Podge for the waves

Special thanks to Frankzett for allowing me to use his rowers image! Its a really nice finishing touch.
I must say I held off on the Altantic figures for some time as they are rarer and a bit more costly, they also get some criticisms for accuracy and proportions, but I must say having them in hand are some of my favorites of the 1/72 world with good sculpting and dynamic poses.
For the game: this is a fast and lightly armored escort but with well trained elite troops ready to give all to protect its royal cargo. It carries a short range but devastating hot oil attack for any that dare to board her.
The symbol on the sail is Greek for Strength, with an added twist.
Thanks for viewing, I hope you enjoy! Please note this is for fun and not 100% historical accurate.
