aister Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 we were debating whether to paint it or varnish it but since its meant to be a scaled down version of the up helly aa galley then we should really paint it, heres a couple of pics of up helly aa galleys so you get the idea.

Regards Blackpowder for the main lerwick up helly aa, it mostly the same team every year but for the small country up helly aa's its up to the jarl squad to make there onwn galley, thats if they burn there galley. some of the country jarl squads make a new galley every year, others use the same one every year and just burn an old boat after the procession.
