Playmobil Galley for 28mm - conversion work

[nervisfr]

Ha, when your work with the galley inspired me to buy one too, I picked up the Viking ship as well
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

A new topic ! 

i'll try to copy the playmobil one with a wood version . I have not 3D printer

Τhis is delightful work!
I think your Drakkar would make a fine Roman merchantman if you leave off the figurehead and the corresponding part in the stern, although you'de probably need to drastically rebuild the deck - you could make a cargo hold in the process.
Looking forward to seeing it develop!

Very cool project.

Thank you.
But still in the WIP area.
too many projects and so few time to deal with.

Not too big if you look at the Harald Harfagre - 95 tons, 115 feet long

There are a lot of better photos online, but here's one showing the size of the figurehead
