Some weeks ago I built and painted a “Viking Longboat” for a photoshooting for the german translation of the SAGA rulebook. Today I realised that I haven’t post any pictures of this project and finally found the time to do so.<\/p>\n
The model is a plastic kit in the scale 1:50 from the well known company REVEL<\/strong>. The actual model was relative easy to build. I wanted the boat as a waterline model.\u00a0 To cut its hull at the correct height and plain was a bit tricky. For the gathered sail I used a piece of unstructured paper towel soaked in woodglue.<\/p>\n After priming the model with black from a spray can I carefully drybrushed the wooden structures in different shades of brown. I also used washes from Army Painter<\/strong> to give more depth to the fine wooden surfaces recreated on the model.\u00a0 As a strong contrast to the mostly brown and beige colors I choosed to do the front figure of the longboat, a kind of stylized dragon head, and some other metal parts in oxidated bronze. On a bronze groundcolor I used dry pigments with pigment fixer. I applied the mixture all over the bronze surface and immediately wiped with a paper towel most of the still wet color away. This was the first time I tryed this technique and I am very satisfied with the result.<\/p>\n In the following gallery you can see some pictures of the vikong boat and I also added some in-terrain-shots we’ve done for the rulebook.<\/p>\n Ciao<\/p>\n Elmar<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Viking dragon boat<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[311,307,312],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-elladan","category-galleries-saga","category-galleriesnew"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"woocommerce_thumbnail":false,"woocommerce_single":false,"woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail":false,"woosq":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Mirco Wenning","author_link":"https:\/\/stronghold-terrain.de\/en\/author\/mirco\/"},"uagb_comment_info":1,"uagb_excerpt":"Viking dragon boat","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stronghold-terrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stronghold-terrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stronghold-terrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stronghold-terrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stronghold-terrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2703"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stronghold-terrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2703\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stronghold-terrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stronghold-terrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stronghold-terrain.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
