Viking Longboat Build

[paperairforce]

Greetings fellow modelers

Been a while since I’ve posted or even logged in, nice to see some familiar user names still here, and a lot more modelers joined since then.

I’ve been planning to build a large ship model for a while for my shelf, and settled on a Viking Longboat. I searched here for examples or ideas and didn’t see many, so thought I would add this one. The plan is to supersize a smaller kit. involving scanning, chopping, reprinting, mounting, etc. I’ve reached out to administrator Jason who advised me that he didn’t have any issue with doing that and posting it here. So here goes! Thought some of you would enjoy looking in. I hope it goes well.

Also, there are many modelers here much more experienced than me, historians, maritime experts, etc., so any model advice, historical advice, tips, comments, etc., are all very welcome!

After not turning up too many models available to use, I settled on a beautiful model I found by Phillip Fickling, which I’ll review a little here. My thanks to Mr. Fickling for creating such a beautiful model. Also, I expect this project is going to take awhile!

Will
