Hi Bob,

most are about 65mm long. Nice models, with some weight to them.

Here are some pics, the square striped marker beads are 10mm.

look under the naval label on the blog for more pics, the 10mm beads will allow you to 'measure' various models.

Bases are 3x8cm for trieres and penteres. Heptere´s base is 4x8cm and the siege tower base is 6x8cm.

I´m not sure now about hemiolai and penteconteres…

Cheers!
