Vorror's Shipyards - Dwarves!

Well, I was born in Kaliningrad (modern day Konigsberg) and althoug I live in israel now for the past 11 years (left the old country as a 7 year old) I still care about the mother land..which is why I dedicate my first attempt at building ships to Kislev -

The Oriol (Eagle) - W.I.P







I know it's probably has some problems, but I'm really sutisfied with it.

Now I just need to order some militia box and convert them into the crew.

Nice! Is it made of cardboard? You should try to make the mainsail out of a piece of fabric that you soak in a mix of 50/50 water/PVA. The texture looks more real then.

Cheers!

99% cardboard ,1% chop sticks

Thanks for the advice...I'm going to make a better sail now.

very nice ship you have there

Very nice, I'm not a big fan of cardboard, but your work is stunning!

Just a couple of notes,

I work with cardboard for two reasons:

It's really easy to find some, while other materials is harder to find (espacially in Israel)

It's really magical when the cardboard box turns into a chaos-lab/clock tower/ship

Set sail, mates! The Eagle is about to leave!

The symbol on the sail is the flag of the Imperial Russian navy and the insgina of the modern nave of Russian Fedeartion.

It's similar to the flag of Scotland (reverse the colors) , because it's the cross of St. Andrew, the patron saint of both the highlands and of Rus.

The word in russian means - Eagle, a name which belonged to a real russian ship, found the story in Wikipedia.

good work mate! it looks good keep it up!

I'm going to make another ship, probably smaller to acompany that one, just for practice.

Probably going to name her Lynsk, after the river.

I've also have to make a scratch-build cannon or two.

Second ship:









Probably going to name it Moroz (In a not-too-direct translation: Freezing Wind).

The second ship, Schtiel (Which means: Calm Weather) is done:

"Praag" class mortar:

haha nice mate, you keep on working and making things ! but try to use balsawood, plasticard and foamcard. Some nice materials!

I've made a scratch build cannon, looks half-real..

And now, to the main part:

Here's a sneak peak of the northern's fleet flag ship - the Ekatherina -



the sail belongs to the shorter pole.

Update on the Ekaterina:

nice progress! keep it up!

Thanks!

The Ekaterina - finished!

another nice work mate! ! it looks good!

Now I just have to buy a whole new Empire army and play the first sea battle game on Israel's soil

haha sounds good, do you have some mates in Israel that play Warhammer/Mordheim too?

We have a country-wide community, from the south to the north...and we have convention from time to time, it's really easy to meet all of them since the country is as big as a everge european city ^_^

Some local stores support the hobby, used to have some company which brought GW products to Israel, now it's only Warmachine, but's that's also nice.

ok sounds great

Fleet of Barrak - Var, here be Dwarves!

The submarine -









The Steam boat-

Nice work, keep it coming.

I've found the concept of dwarves, which usually leave underground and when travel by sea use submarines (which makes it "undersea" travel) very cool.

Next ship is going to be build for my 6 year old sister, which is by far the biggest fan of my work

She asked me to paint a rainbow on the sail, guess it's still can be used as a high elf ship
