AKULA’s Game of Thrones - pg64 back from the dead

[Grumpy Gnome]

Looking good mate!

[Little Odo]

Great looking ship.

[Knight-Captain Tyr]

Amazingly inspiring, as usual. I'd love to get my hands on a Zvezda ship now. Looking forward to seeing it completed!

[Dr. Zombie]

Looking great. Is there going to to be some form of railing on the front castle? Or are Westerosi health and safety regulations as loose as they are in a galaxy far far away...

No railing...they are fearsome Ironborn reavers, not some flouncy sailors from Lannisport 

I figured that you can’t really fire the weapon anyway if the sea is so rough that the crew are falling overboard - the ballista is mounted on a turntable, and so is secured - and the lack of protection for the crew actually gives the weapon a better firing arc.

So if the crew die...well... “they weren’t good fighters anyway”... 

[Bloggard]

great stuff. Those ships are brilliant.

What is dead can never die...

I suppose it makes assaults on enemy ships easier as well. That you don't have to first jump over your own railings first.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

That is an excellent little ship.

[AKULA]

Cheers all.

Managed to splash some paint on the Ironborn ship plus the cargo ship.





Just a reminder, the latter is a Grand Manner Roman ship, which I’ve altered the stern on and added a wolfshead figurehead from a toy. The resin casting is pretty poor tbh especially the masts and sails where is looks like the mould has slipped, but I’ve tidied it up the best I can.

[Ogrob]

That Kraken ship is spectacular. Wow!

[BZ]

Thats awesome! It was looking good, but the paintjob give it a really amazing finish!

[HappyChappy439]

The Greyjoy ship looks amazing, big fan of the black hull!  Well done!

And good work with the sail too, the squid-sigil is definitely one of the fiddlier ones!

[Elk101]

Those look great.

[Captain Blood]

Brilliant Matt 

[Bloggard]

great stuff.
