Xebec - work in progress

I am attempting to mock up a xebec - a two or three masted, lateen rigger vessel with low, overhanging bow and stern favoured by Barbary corsairs and other Mediterranean navies. I'm hoping to use it as some sailing support for a small fleet of galleys - probably Barbary corsairs but not fully decided yet.

Here is just a first WIP shot (two shots really) showing the idea. The hull is from a Peter Pig 1/450 scale schooner. The sails are from a 1/600 scale galley by Skytrex. The bowsprit is a piece of copper pipe and the blu-tack is Tesco's own.

The Skytrex 'small galley' in the background will see service as either a galliot or a galley.
