Small Viking Warship (Snekkja Class)
$0.00
This ship is a 24- or 26-seater design from around 900-1000 AD. The shields are separate items – printing them separately on a resin printer gives the best results, of course. The hull should fit on a standard printing plate (22x22cm), when you place it diagonally.
You can pick up a crew for this one in my next post, which I will add here shortly.

Blocks for the rigging, anchor, rudder and various masts/poles are included, as is a pdf file for a sail and of course a raven banner. There are two sets of oars, one chunky and easy to print out esp. if you print a smaller scale, the other (“oars new”) thinner but more realistic.
I’ve scaled this down from the native 1:72 scale to around half that without much problem. If you want to avoid the marks that supports leave on the underside of the hull, there are alternative files with which you can print out the hull in two pieces, vertically. Using finer settings on a FDM printer (0.25mm nozzle, 0.06mm layers) I have reduced the model to 36% of original size, or 1:200 scale, but below that the hull starts to break up.

Areas of interest are: late Roman Empire, Migrations after the collapse of the Western Empire (Langobards, Burgundians, Vandals, Goths, Huns etc), Viking age, Early Holy Roman Empire period up to and including crusades of all kinds. The figures will not just be warriors but ordinary people doing ordinary things such as farming or carpentry. Ships will not just be highly specialized warships but supply ships, etc.. Same for buildings and other structures.
Another area of interest are crews, cannon and other implements for warships from the age of sail. While they can be used to populate model ships, they can also become independent game markers for each piece of ordnance and its crew as used by a given nation during a given time-period.
