That's coming along nicely. :thumbsup:
The scale looks about right, too.
And nice idea with the railings.  :thumbsup:

I've just seen the pics and it's great 👍
That little dude really helps give a good idea of its size ..it's bigger than you'd think 🙂
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

... and we are back.  ;)

Got into the masts and yards. Using bamboo skewers for both, easy to work with and shape, so far anyway. At trial fit stage for sizing and layout. Might get more yards with slimmer sails more like the Ice Spirit inspiration image.


Because it is a fantasy build..a BFG on a rotating table. Sort of makes it a Monitor. Got some swivel guns ex the Airfix Revenge, that may fit out around the vessel as well


More detail for the Dragons Skull, bit of maybe flame work.


Now trying to work out how the Sails might work. Not going this shape, but interesting to experiment on how it might be done using paper. Much more work in this space.

Brian that looks sweet 😋 😍

An idea for your sails ..since you want it moving by the look of it try tissue paper and thinned out OVA glue..find a plastic bottle to get the shape ya want ..
Lay the paper in the bottle or plastic sheet styrene..soak it with ghe thinned glue ..let it dry..it won't stick to the plastic and will hold it's shape once dry .
It might look good or it might suck  ;D
Oh use the best quality tissues too..there not fluffy like the cheap ones  :thumbsup:

Maybe the Dragons Skull could be a flame thrower using Greek Fire ?

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

... to melt that ice ?

That thing looks great.
It's a Land Rover, NOT a Jeep .

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

It's an ice ship, but........it has a dragon skull on the bow front.
So I have to wonder: Who gets to helm this ship? Daenerys Targaryen or Jon Snow? Or both?
 ;D  ;D  ;D
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

Three sails per mast looks better than two. Is three enough?  :wacko:

This! :thumbsup:


But should I point out that real spars are not parallel-edged; that they actually taper from the mast out to the tips? :unsure:

Yes. they are. But not in this universe.
Trying to achieve that would invariably put this build in the bin. I am in the area where the materials I have chosen is a compromise as to the amount of effort to produce something that is more accurate is project killing, than just trying to "get the point across".

I do have a set of plastic Yards, from a previous build, but not enough, not long enough, not strong enough and requiring too much modification.
