Hi Titus (please add your real first name to your sig),
I'll be eager to see when it's finished. What's the mast on the prow supposed to be? Not a corvus, is it?

Yes, the mast on the prow is corvus (still without foot bridge).

Hi Titus and a friendly welcome to a fellow model builder.
Very fine painting and modeling job!!! I think the kits of Zvezda are not so low-class, may-be they are not absolutely correct historically but IMHO they are the best accessible ones. I bought for myself their so called 'Trirema of the Emperor'; it's the 'red' ship with the prow that remembers to the famous Roman warship from the Praeneste relief.
But sadly it only remembers to it and is far from identic, so I interrupted the work because I am not definitely determined how to reconstruct the prow, especially because of the 'lances' and the ventilation grille that are visible on the relief. There will be some scratching work with milliput yet.
Are You planning to man Your ship with some marines? Zvezda as well as HäT have fine sets of Roman Republican Infantry that cover a wide temporal range down to the time of the Punic wars, which was the era when the corvus was in usage mainly.
