A Saga of Glorantha
The evolution of a duck
The original boat as painted in 2012.
Oars and Rowlocks from Cornwall Model Boats. I will need to carve and sand down the squarish blocks on the six smaller oars.
Looking at the larger steering oar I realised it would sit to tall for a poor little duck to handle. So I decided to build a platform to raise the steersman up. I have mainly used GW skeleton spear shafts and carved sprue. Here is the frame for the platform base.
Steering oar sitting to high.
The basic framework in place.
The side oars in place, now need to bind them to Rowlocks with cotton which I will then soak in Super Glue to add much needed strength.
You can see I have added planking (from thin wood sheet used to divide layers of cigars) and shields (fromy the Mortal Gods boxed game- Victrix)
Where I am out now, just need to rope in the oars and then I can start painting.
