	=====Making a Model Longship=====		=====Making a Model Longship=====

	~~Making models of historic building and objects is a good way to understand them and remember what has been learned - it is also good fun!~~ A ~~display~~ model ~~of a '''Viking~~ Longship~~'''~~ can be ~~made using '''[[Paper and Card\|Card]]''' and '''[[Stripwood Technology Materials\|Stripwood Materials]]'''~~.		A model Longship can be based around a plastic milk carton.

			'''Avantages:'''
			* The plastic 'bottles' are readily available and can be cut to create a water-proof '''Hull''';
			* The model decribed is based on a 1 litre 'bottle' but larger 'bottles' could be used ''(scale the drawings to suit)'';
			'''Disadvantages:'''
			* The 'bottles' are made out of a plastic called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_bottle '''Polyethylene'''] which is very difficult to glue;
			* The bottom and neck of the 'bottle' may be too thick to cut with scissors and will need to be sawn.

	* Start by ~~designing the shape~~ of the ~~'''Hull'''~~ and ~~transfer on~~ to '''[[~~Paper and Card~~\|~~A3 Card~~]]''' ~~in Landscape orientation as shown ''(click to enlarge)'';~~		The model described is based around a 1 litre plastic milk carton and 10mm square '''[[Stripwood Technology Materials\|Stripwood]]''' ''(some dimensions will need to be adjusted if 8mm square is used)''.
	* The '''Figure Head''' can be kept simple or used as a design activity in itself - the object is to create a ~~''''Dragon Head''' profile;~~		* Start by cutting a plastic milk carton along its length.
	* Cut two out of '''[[~~Paper~~ and ~~Card~~\|~~Thick Card~~]]'''.		* The bottom and neck of the carton may be too thick to cut easily with scissors and may need to be sawn
			* Hold the carton steady while sawing with a '''[[Hacksaw\|Junior Hacksaw]]''' using a '''[[Jigs and Fixtures\|Jig]]''' as shown;

=====Description=====

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longship '''Longships'''] were long elegant craft used by '''[[:Category:The Vikings|The Vikings]]''' to cross the North Sea, first on raiding missions and later to explore and settle in Engand, Ireland, Iceland and beyond. They were a wooden construction with a shallow [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_(hull) '''Draft'''] which meant they could be rowed up shallow rivers as well as across the sea, powered by oars and their large square woollen sail. They could also land on beaches and were light enough to be carried when necessary and tipped upside down to use as a temporary shelter.

=====Making a Model Longship=====

Making models of historic building and objects is a good way to understand them and remember what has been learned - it is also good fun! A display model of a '''Viking Longship''' can be made using '''[[Paper and Card|Card]]''' and '''[[Stripwood Technology Materials|Stripwood Materials]]'''.

[[File:LongshipDims.png|300px|right|Model Longship dimensions]]
=====Marking out the hull shape=====

The model described is based around a sheet of '''[[Paper and Card|A3 Card]]''' and 8mm square '''[[Stripwood Technology Materials|Stripwood]]'''.
* Start by designing the shape of the '''Hull''' and transfer on to '''[[Paper and Card|A3 Card]]''' in Landscape orientation as shown ''(click to enlarge)'';
* The '''Figure Head''' can be kept simple or used as a design activity in itself - the object is to create a ''''Dragon Head''' profile;
* Cut two out of '''[[Paper and Card|Thick Card]]'''.

=====Assembling the hull=====

[[File:LongshipHullAssy.png|600px|right|Viking Longship hull assembly]]
* Construct a '''Deck Frame''' to separate the two Hull sides using 8mm square '''[[Stripwood Technology Materials|Stripwood]]''' and reinforce with '''[[Paper and Card|Medium Card]]''' triangles;
* Glue the two hull sides to the '''Deck Frame''' and leave to dry;
* Pull the two ends together and temporarily hold with '''[[Adhesive Tapes|Masking Tape]]''';
* Lay the part-assembled '''Hull''' over a sheet of '''[[Paper and Card|Medium Card]]''' rolling it as needed and trace round the shapes required to fill in between the '''Hull''' sides at each end;
* The '''[[Paper and Card|Medium Card]]''' shapes can simply be glued on to the '''[[Paper and Card|Thick Card]]''' '''Hull''' sides by running a bead of glue round the inside of the join and tape in position until the glue dries;
* Alternatively add '''[[Packaging Features|Glue Tabs]]''' to the '''[[Paper and Card|Medium Card]]''' shapes or first glue a length of '''Art Straw''' or '''Drinking Straw''' along the joining edge of the '''Hull''' sides to provide a joint surface.
[[File:LongshipSailFix.png|300px|right|Viking Longship with sail and shields ]]

=====Completing the Longship=====

* Add a '''Mast''' by 'stepping' a length of '''[[Stripwood Technology Materials|Dowel]]''' into a '''[[Stripwood Technology Materials|MDF or Ply Disc]]''' and glue to the '''Deck Frame''';
* Add a '''Main Spar''' by fixing a length of '''[[Stripwood Technology Materials|Dowel]]''' across the top of the '''Mast''' either by lashing with string and glue or by cutting two holes at right angles into a short length of '''[[Stripwood Technology Materials|PVC Tubing]]''';
* Make a '''Sail''' out of '''[[Paper and Card|Thin Card]]''', paint as required and glue along the '''Main Spar''';
* Design and paint '''Viking Shields''' on '''[[Stripwood Technology Materials|MDF, Ply or Card Discs]]''' and glue along the sides of the Hull;
* Add '''Oars''' made by squashing the end of '''Art Straws''' or '''Drinking Straws'''.
