Just the right size for what you're thinking. There's an overhead shot of a certain dead guy in one which enables an acurate size and shape to be determined.
I think these are small enough to be metal cast. Resin is best suited to open mould casting - this would require a two part mould. If it had a flat bottom it could be resin cast.

As a gaming aid - you'd want flat bottom - but for any kind of diorama you'd be using resin water - and you'd want to see the interior of the boat below the surface. I think also it's nice to have them pulled up out of the water. It's easier to file the bottom flat than alter a flat bottom boat in reverse.

Great boat. Boats are from all over the place, across many periods of history. Rowing boats like this were around in the time of the Vikings, maybe even earlier. Very useful. Might even find other uses for them. Great.

Thanks Dorth.
Fatty - you can put whatever you like in the boat.
