I'm considering trying to scratch build 2 NKE Egyptian boats to combat the Sea Peoples.

These would be in 20mm which might mean a vessel anything from 6 to 12 inches?

Any ideas or links would be appreciated.

I've done some viing longboats and greek triremes buy using a 12 pack soda box. Start with a flat piece for the waterline, then shape the hull by progressively cutting and taping pieces. Last is cut thin strips of paper (wood planks) and paper meche them on to the hull shape.
