Revisiting Vikings

[gamer Mac]

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.

[Maniac]

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.

Great stuff Colin. Can’t go wrong with a few vikings

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

I might be able to help out there, old bean...

Thanks for the offer
But I have already cut it by eye, my squint eye

[mikedemana]

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...

A bit of progress









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

[Blackwolf]

Lovely stuff

[Hu Rhu]

Excellent build and I  like the idea of a boat building yard.

[Malamute]

Excellent stuff Colin. I see a BLAM game in the making
