Upcoming 1:600 Late galleass

As said a few days prior, there's still a number of finished but unreleased projects that I'm willing to share right before closure.

This one of today is another of such cases: a 1:600th scale large galleass --not of the type used at Lepanto, but a later model dating back to the second half of 17th century to early 18th century. Those late galleasses did no longer constitute the backbone of any Mediterranean navy, but were still widely used either for commerce or as prestige vessels.

The current model kit has been designed according to one precise Venetian galleass, but several others of this period are known and are quite similar, used at least by France and the Ottoman Empire too.

Prior to our current family health issues, I was assembling and painting a sample model; however, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete it in time to provide you a decent boxart. So this one above is most likely to be the model kit's box ultimate look.
