I fancy a beached ship or two as part of a Viking camp. Obviously smallish (guessing about 5"), and not too expensive. Anyone party to secret information (and ready to violate the secrecy)?
What about these 6mm ones from H&R - or are they too small?

Good luck with your search Kitty
Thanks.
In case anyone else is interested in a few, I think these look just about right: https://hracky.nuff.cz/hracka/smer-model-lod-drakkar-oseberg-1180-stavebnice-lode/
I hope you can find a translator to help with the website, mind you....
In my Viking days (sigh!) I found a Heller in 1/180 scale "Drakktar Oseberg" = dragon ship was close enough for backdrop scenery.
The moulds may now be with SMER or Mister Craft - currently still around £8 on ebay.
Baggage train do some nice ones - take a look at their web site, but dont tell Mr Oates I sent you ;)

I think they are 28mm.(1/60 ?) Would dwarf a 10mm game. The 1/180 plastic from SMER is currently on ebay - £10 including postage.
The price from the Czechs is 4. 17, however. :D
I'll print you one if you like, I fancy doing a Drakkar - it'll look like this, about 5" long, or I can rescale it. one or two bits to the hull, other bits & bobs to add shields, oars (deployed for rowing, I'm afraid), etc.

Somewhat bigger than you asked for, to be fair.

I hate the new Photobucket... Now fixed
That's one snazzy piece of Viking kit, Wulf, I'm impressed!

Nothing to do with me so far, I just downloaded someone else's work. I can print it in around 8-10 hours though...
(...once I finish printing some railway stuff for someone else...)
Peter Pig's "Wrath of the vikings" range include
1/600 scale viking ships "These are small" and
6 inch viking ships "These are far away" - with masts either lowered or raised.
Alexander - checked with Steve Oates last night - not on sale for a couple of months but he is doing the long ship in 10mm, just making the production molds. Mind you given his normal oractice it will be next century before you find em in the Baggage Train Catalogue. !

Thanks, everyone. A truly Viking response to the call to get a boat in the water!
I printed one anyway... No Vikings handy so I posed a couple of PD Normans for scale.

Note that this is one of the magical Longships used by Magnus Barelegs to 'sail' over the Mull of Kintyre at Tarbert ('Tarbert' = 'Boat Pull') in accordance with King Malcolm III's law that they could have any place they could sail round if they left the rest of Scotland alone.
It's lifted off the surface on it's oars, if you haven't noticed... :D
I am really impressed with that !!
Cheers - Phil

Ta :-*
I'm reprinting the sail - it looks fine, but the back surface - which was the LOWER surface when printing - is a mess, as normal for FDM printing - the support structure never leaves a clean, smooth surface.
Wow that looks great
Take care
