The Dušek company offers a static non-floating model of a Greek bireme from the 6th century BC in a scale of 1:72. The crew of the ship consisted of 50 rowers, who sat in two rows on top of each other (25 on each side) and up to 10 other soldiers. In the fight, the rowers left the oars and fought with shields and swords. A spike on the bow of the keel was used to dive the enemy ships, with which the ship tried to hit the hull of the enemy ship. The ship was controlled by two rudders at the stern. The main drive was oars, the sail was used only for longer voyages. During the battle, the sail and mast were lowered to the stern and the ship was propelled exclusively by oars.
Czech company Dusek Ship Kits
is a traditional manufacturer of model kits for non-floating models of historic ships. The range of products is very wide, the offer includes ships from the period before our era to sailboats from the last century. However, the domain is historic wooden ships of the golden age of sailboats, such as merchant, war or royal English, Spanish galleys, schooners, ships of famous discoverers or Viking and for us exotic East Asian ships.
Anyone who longs for their own self-made boat must be prepared to do so for weeks or months in the evenings. It means having a certain skill and knowledge of the lever with various materials, adhesives, paints and varnishes. The kit mainly contains basic building materials, building materials and a number of small or miniature components and decorations. However, this work will give you an insight into the secrets of ship construction, the history of real ships and often can lead to a community of people obsessed with the same passion for ship modeling.
