Nothing new on board, except i found a new Playmobil boat .....for nothing (0,50 €).  ;)

But it's a Drakkard  !



Don't know what i'll do with it : A Drakkard ?, A Roman merchant ship ?

Cheers

i think is out of scale for the 28mm if i take the Drakkard option. or i have to change the figurehead ?
comparison scale with a 28mm BTD

I think that if you elevate the deck, put options for more oars and make a smaller figurehead of your own, it will be a fine drakkar!

Ha, when your work with the galley inspired me to buy one too, I picked up the Viking ship as well :D
Curious to see what you do witht this one.

Oh and yeah, I came to the same conclusion of scratchbuilding a new figurehead.. which is a shame as I kinda like this one
