@mtaylor you are definitely correct with all of the above. Yes it seems the picture isnt corresponding to the drawing. I tend to believe that popeye2sea was right guessing that is probably "fashion piece". Thank you very much for working on my question.... I though it was all about a very simple answer, which just was beyond my knowledge... it turns up , it is not that case. It sadly remains unanswered 😟 for the time being Christos -

@popeye2sea thank you for droping by, here is a picture of a fellow modeler build...there its seems you are right. @BANYAN thanks for the thought... I really dont know. @mtaylor thank you for your effort. ''keeps the whole thing from wobbling''.... sounds reasonable. Have a look at the picture of a fellow builder below. -

@CabbieThx Cabbie for responding. A brace... ok, but doing what? Christos -
Gun ports cutting is progressing. It was important to take care that the ports were marked in the right position. The correct height from the cannon deck and ofcourse care was also given not to cut any frame. The cannon deck planks were varnished with a satin matt varnish. The wall's inside planking of the cannon deck is going to follow as soon as all the ports have been cut.

Thank you Steven for your comment. And I do understand you, by not agreing with this interpretation... actually I have seen in his book, the same one, a bireme and a trireme of which am familiar with and I as well didnt completely agreed with those interpretations, although again official post office stamps were made out of those models. Still -as you said - its always interesting looking other approaches, it can sometimes add to our thoughts and widen our imagination on the models we are working on.

I dont know if am helping or just polluting your log. Please feel free and just say so... if you need me to remove the pictures or to add more. Its a dromon made for the Greek Post Office -now its already a stamp- by a greek modeller.

@Gregory & @Jaager thank you very much. You are very informative both of you. I guess thats what am going to do. Look after different Walnut grains. And play a little with stains maybe. @Bob Cleek yes I do have that information. The ship (prototype) its here in the port of Limassol in Cyprus and I have free access to and on it. So first I will take a lot of pictures in combination with the different changes of the light. Though it doesnt look white.... it more looks dark brown. It is very well maintained.Thank for all the helpful knowledge shared with me.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
