Ahoy etc

Although the longship is the iconic viking vessel, the knarr (or knorr) was generally the vessel of choice for trading.



My knarr (or knorr) is shorter than my longship (only two hull centre sections). The rail is a perhaps fanciful, and the shields (only 3x3 - all the 4x4s went to the longship) are a bit low... but only in order to hide the odd gaps from the bow/stern sections.

The knarr (or knorr) is laden for trade, although the crates I used may be a little too modern, and the chains to hold the cargo in place might be several parts overkill.

Very nice! I’m glad to see this other type of ship represented.

I like this a lot! Especially the colour scheme. It works very well but I would never have thought to chose it. Well done! The shields are also a great way to disguise those annoying gaps. Great work all round!

God Bless,

Nathan
