A few repairs, a bit of strengthening, filling gaps and assembling – then the usual clean, prime and an initial coat of paint.

These are a pair of Bronze Age river/coastal craft destined for games featuring the NKE, Peleset or other Bronze Age peoples.

They needed a little more work than expected, but they're finally starting to look like boats rather than a collection of oddly-shaped parts.

Looking at these, it strikes me that most Ancient armies on our tabletops march everywhere, despite the fact that many real-world campaigns and migrations probably depended heavily on rivers and coastal transport.

Do we underuse boats in ancient wargaming?

Believe you posted other pics of these earlier and mentioned a friend in Australia had printed them? Are they available widely and does he do it herself?
