Title: Revisiting Vikings
Post by: gamer Mac on 01 July 2021, 12:51:27 AM
I started these a long time ago
I only painted a few and built a couple of buildings.
A church and a viking hall

I have had a box with a ship in that has been staring at me for a few years so I felt a change in scale might be good
First thing was to waterline the model then build a base.

That looks like an excellent start.  I also have that Revell ship, and have not yet decided how I want to base it.  It don't have a good line to cut perfectly flat along, and so I debate on as is and just putty up the water around it.  Not sure yet though, and so it has sat unfinished for more than a year.

When I did my boat. I simply attacked it with a dremmel. But I have seen one who placed it in sand and then spraypainted the sides, so he had an effective waterline to cut after. If I do another one I think that is the way I would do it.

That is what I done, not very tidy but it will be hidden by the water. I didn't have enough sand or a useful sized container to try the spray painting idea

Looks good to me. I agree, once you put the water on the base, it'll cover any irregularities caused by squinty eyes or unsteady hands...  lol

The last picture is what is left of the cut, intending to try and use it to build a boat yard with a build in progress
