pavel nikitin oseberg 3

well....i got the material, and made the sail, but i thought i was getting flag material, but what i got, was printed only on one side, so i had to sew two pieces together...my mistake......anyways, we'll see if it works out....

how many mm high could a viking be at 25th scale?

how many mm high could a viking be at 25th scale?

1:25 scale gives you very close to 1mm (1.016 to be exact) scale per 1 inch full size, so a 6 foot (72 inch) Viking would be roughly 72mm (73.152 to be exact), but a 1mm/1 inch is a good general rule of thumb.

thanks, and that's roughly what i thought....i guess they were tall fellows........sooooo.....i guess i can't use the figure that i got, since even after shortening him, he is 80mm tall.......and he is advertised as 24th scale....but i purchase another figure, which i'll soon paint, also 24th scale, is 72mm......one just can't assume anything....

anyways.........i had to replank my san felipe model.....now that's done i can get back to the oseberg.......

Talking about miniature figures: I’m trying to find a company that sells H-O scale animal figures. I bought two different sets and they’re both way too big. A long-standing tradition was (still is) to have at least one cat as a mascot onboard ships. If you find out about a company selling miniature animals that are really to scale please post it on this thread.

hmmm...the only ho figures i've seen is on aliexpress and temu, but maybe someone else will know.......good luck!

Have you tried Walthers?

 

[BigBad]

back on working on the oseberg.....but i gave up on the blue and yellow version of the sail ...too thick and heavy....will go back to the original sail......

 

[yancovitch]

well i only give myself a 70% on this one....still have a lot of touch up and finishing to do, but i thought i'd load it in case i croak tomorrow...ya never know.....getting old....sail config on right....rowing config. on t he left ...will put some clear satin finishing on the flat brown...too dead looking

 

[RussF]

She looks beautiful my friend! Well done!

 

[yancovitch]

thought i'd add this fellow....should have used a more beige color for the cloak as i doubt that color was available at the time....but....c'est la vie...
