Mierce Miniatures

Howdy.

I am almost finished painting Angrislaug....I have to say, I absolutely love thus model EXCEPT for the friggin' gaps. That is a HUGE except. Resculpting is not really my thing, and thise gaps are AT LEAST 3/16 of an inch (yeah, I measured) before pinning....oh yeah, and mine came with a missing claw for the wing.....but, I digress.

On that topic, I now need a proper base and a diorama to display it on.

Our idea is using wrecked Viking lomgboats dragged on shore by their occupants, and the. summarily destroyed by the attackers.

Question: Where can I find true to scale lomgboats? At 32mm, 1/50 or even 1/35 feels a little off.

Thanks ya'll.

Hi Scadianforlife,

have a look at Adrian´s Wall:

the ships are in scale but maybe too beautiful and too expansive for wrecking

cheers

Those are gorgeous, nut at 50gbp.... to be used as wreckage..... not really much value there.

I guess scratch built it is.

Ok, here we go. I started with doing research. I decided to make a snekkja. I apologize for the quality of the image, but that is what my ipad's got.

17 inches long, 0.5 inches deep, and 2 inches at the widest point. That is Angrislaug for comparison to the initial frame.

Does any one have any suggestion for the wood? I plan on either Balsa or (the mych cheaper alternative) popsicle sticks.
