Just the Playmobile viking ship with a balsa deck and RPG safe mast. Enjoy
Now to finish the crew! |

I have that ship! I'd love to try the same. Never once occurred to me that it would work with 28mm. Could you provide some details as to how you did this? Awesome work! |

Benglish First I got a cheap one off eBay as all I wanted was the hull. Then I took off the head and tail for seperate priming and painting. Then I pulled up the plastic floor and threw it away. Next I used a hacksaw to cut off the oarlocks and sanded the side tops smooth. The I primed and painted the hull. Then I made a new deck out of foam core which I then covered with thin strips of balsa I painted beforehand. I carved a chunk of wood I had drilled a hole in for the mast. Glued the chunk in place but left the pole removable. I may do some rigging but feel it is find for gaming without. I then reattached the freshly painted head and tail and then started shopping for barbarians. |

Looks good! It's always satisfying getting toys from eBay and converting them for wargames use! :I) |
