The Argo 28mm

[Melnibonean]

Greetings folks,

I made a model of the Argo for a few demo/participation games in Melbourne for 2015. I stole the idea from a blog that I saw whilst looking for reference material. I used the Revel 1/72 Viking Longship as the basis of the model and added a bit of plasticard and half a ton of miliput. As this is a wargaming model I did't add any rigging or a full sail in order to make it easier for moving figures on deck.

The game will be Jason & The Argonauts using Crooked Dice's 7th Voyage. It will involve a long 12' x 4' table with the ship sailing between islands with the crew needing to overcome dangerous obstacles and foes along the way.

For more photos and details on how I built the ship see my blog: http://this28mmlife.blogspot.com.au/

I like that 

You said you got the idea from another blog but do you know where they got their inspiration from?

Thanks for all the positive feedback. Half way through all the sanding it definitely became a labour of love.
