After populating a few longboats with seated Vikings, here is a set of Vikings standing at ease.
They are standing on their boat looking at the scenery, either while the boat is under sail or while their business associates are rowing away. At their original size they come out as ca 22-23mm for each figure, or 1:72 scale. This matches my own purpose for them, but it requires using the best available resolution on either your FDM or your DLP printer. They will print out with better quality and look more majestic if you scale them up a bit, say 128% for 1:56 scale.
I have included pictures of some prints at 1:72 scale on a resin printer (0.02mm layer height) and at 1:25 scale on a FDM printer (PLA, 0.06mm layers).
Also, notice that the left arm is often free and not doing much. Maybe they are holding onto the rigging or onto the side of the hull, but they just as well might be asking you for some shields....
Note that the wood base and the 3D printed tree in the picture do not come with this set.
Update 30-04-2020: Added the later kite-shaped shield as an option for Norman-type scenarios.
Update 27-10-2020: Everyone has received a makeover now with slight improvements: cloaks folding more realistically, standard spangenhelm with noseguard, round shields sized to the correct 90cm diameter, more authentic spear length and sword details. All four poses come in three versions: bareheaded, with helmet, or with helmet and cloak.
See my comments in the attached pictures for the specs and materials that I used for my first batch. On the Elegoo, I usually print out a squad of six at once. Again, the size set in the files is a bit borderline for some details (e.g. the bowstrings for the two archers) since it is set to 1:72 scale. Better + safer printouts should be possible at 1:56 scale (=128% of orig size) or larger. But, if you are not hung up on bowstrings, go ahead and print out at 1:150 scale if you want more of them but smaller !
