Hello guys!! Thanks everybody for such a warm welcome you guys are amazing ...I've started today with the ship and can say thats its gonna be hard to not fail miserably hahah.
For those asking not from Cameroon but from Basque country

Mr Cryns
its an enormous honour to hear your advices...I remember years ago seeing you cast your greek sailors and building your Tyros diorama... it was an eye opening to see someone working so hard in his models and with such veracity. Thank you so much for your history lesson I've seen how lost I was, these patterns on the coins are incredible!
Been searching and yes the carthage- phoenician ships should be the model for my galley (gonna purchase these books whenever I can)
Firstly I tried to imagine definitively how the galley its gonna look and try to make a plan of it ( Although I'm feeling I'm gonna improvise big part )

so brave yet so foolish to state that here hahaha
So here is the idea...happy to see to see that you guys like the drawings
Decided to give it a peck ram ,,Ive read around that they were an evolution of the phoenician to break the opponent's paddlers wich seems a pretty cool tactic before the frontal crashes
Trying to start from the bottom and the ribs to make a solid base
but shit happens
the paperboard is pretty hard to cut in thin strips and I wanted it to look like wood beams so I need to keep thinking about it hahah
Decided to start by the last level and the floor of the oars trying to give to the paperboard a wood texture
wich could make pretty decent results when painted
Next putting the rowers floor
The galley its gonna be a little thing with just 12 rowers (wich I think its a pretty bad start for making something truthful how the hell were 12 man to move that thing but anyways I just found these guys around there
that roman helmet is gonna hurt to see in a persian galley something to be done
Well that's it for now ..Gonna try to keep working on it but it seems that quarantine doesnt't mean full free time
at least fo me, hope everybody is safe out there and I would wait for critics and cool ideas!
PD sorry for my english guys hope I can make me understand hahah
