First attempts are often best chalked up as learning experiences. Having said that, she's not that bad! Looks like a galley to me. :)

I had some real problems with my first few, as well. Once I got the hang of it, they went pretty fast.

I do have a few that look just like yours. I've debated using them in an Actium game,where I actually set the models on fire when they are sunk, just like in the Cleopatra movie.

That would be and end to the problem for sure ;)

Sorry it didn't turn out as hoped.

Perhaps your balsa / card former of the right height, and approximate shape, below deck is the way to go. Perhaps start with it stuck to the base and build up / around it. Just a thought.

Good luck,

James
