Revell 1:50 Viking

Product Information

It's thought that the chants and songs could have helped to maintain a rhythm when rowing their oars up rivers and in places where their sails could not be used. Some historians even believe that the Viking sailing chants could be used to scare their enemies from the shore or river bank.

Use this model to support learning about Vikings alongside other Twinkl resources and discover a new level of engagement. The longboats were typically made from wood, with the hull being constructed from overlapping planks and reinforced with iron rivets. The boats were powered by sail and oars, with each vessel having room for a crew of around 40-50 men.Meanwhile her brother had chosen to use the Hobbycraft designs suggested by their teachers - and also needed the occasional extra hand. As there's a whole range of resources designed to support the story, it's the ideal hook for your lessons. Reading the story will help your children to truly picture the far-off world of the Vikings, making the topic seem more vivid and interesting than ever before, and the linked resources will bring everything together. Edit - just an additional thought - have a look at the Norwegian Hardanger Faerings designed by Iain Oughtred -

Prow: The prow (at the front of the ship) was often decorated with a skilfully carved dragon or snake head to make people fearful. I think it's pretty much the same model as the Delftship model posted by HJS - but I struggled working out how to export the sheets from it. So I converted flo-mo's design to SVG - cleaned it up, and set it to cut on the Cricut*, and the card failed to cut fully and delaminated when peeling off the cutting mat. Another fantastic feature was that the longboat was double-ended. This meant that the Vikings could reverse without having to turn the boat around.

Our Viking resources and activities can really help you engage your children in KS2 history lessons. Take a look at this Interactive Comprehension Activity. Please note, this is "do it yourself-DIY" kit, you will need to assemble the boat and to paint it yourself!

For other 3D and AR models to support your teaching on Vikings, take a look at the History collection. What is a Viking Longship? I've not got windows so was remote desktopping to a windows machine and the lag dampened my enthusiasm for exploring) Viking longships were long, slender boats that the Vikings used to travel on the seas. They have a long history in Scandinavia and were used as early as the fourth century BC. The Design of Viking LongshipsOn board were a series of small rowing boats which meant that the Vikings could get to shore and explore without risking damage to the bigger ship. Did you know… Anyway thanks everyone for the files and suggestions - small people had a couple of fun afternoons in their last week of home schooling (for now) as did I. Ships were made from overlapping planks of oak. Any spaces between the planks were filled with tarred wool and animal hair. This ensured that the ships were watertight. How can I use the Viking Longship 3D Model?: Rotate the Viking Longship on your screen to see it from all angles. Look carefully at the details and try to identify what each part is made from. Can you count the oars? How is this ship different to others you have seen? Why might there only be one sail?
