28mm Scale 3d Printable Coracle

This is a simple 28mm scale coracle, ideal for RPG's like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder, as well as historical tabletop wargaming. Coracles were small boats (often Celtic in origin) made of hide over a light framework of laths and wickerwork - you can still see them very occasionally in Wales. They are light enough to be carried by one person. This item has four files; Two versions of the coracle itself - one is waterline, one is complete. Both will sit on a tabletop with a man in, but the complete one wobbles more ! The complete one is also useful 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 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 isn't included, he's just to give an idea of scale; he's actually one of Dutchmogul's excellent Tavern patrons, looking just glum enough to be a fisherman.
