28mm Scale Coracle

thingiverse

This simple 28mm scale coracle is perfect for RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder, as well as historical tabletop wargaming. Coracles were small boats, often of Celtic origin, made with a light framework of laths and wickerwork over a hide covering - you can still spot them occasionally in Wales. They are lightweight enough to be carried by one person. This item comes with four files: - Two versions of the coracle itself - one is waterline, while the other is complete. Both will sit on a tabletop with a man inside, but the complete one wobbles more! The complete one can also serve as general "scenery" for Celtic-type villages, stacked up outside a hut or piled up by the waters' edge. The waterline one is very thin at the bottom, but that shouldn't show once it's on the table. - The coracle bench, which can be glued in - I find it easiest to paint the hull and bench separately, then glue the bench in. - A paddle. It works best to print the bench and coracle hulls in an upright orientation, with a brim and supports touching the buildplate. The supports will be pretty minimal that way, and the orientation will give the best detail. I printed at 0.8mm row height and a fairly slow speed on an Ender 3. The figure in the photo is just to give an idea of scale; he's actually one of Dutchmogul's excellent Tavern patrons, looking just glum enough to be a Welsh fisherman, from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3025546
