We build models about 17 years and have built about 40 models. Even to Russian President Putin Administration. Longships were naval vessels made and used by the Vikings from Scandinavia and Iceland for trade, commerce, exploration, and warfare during the Viking Age. The longship’s design evolved over many years, beginning in the Stone Age with the invention of the umiak and continuing up to the 9th century with the Nydam and Kvalsund ships. The longship appeared in its complete form between the 9th and 13th centuries. The character and appearance of these ships have been reflected in Scandinavian boat-building traditions until today. This Model we built June 2006. Case slightly damaged by my parrot – see photos. Please be advised that all the photos in my store are taken from real products.
