3D Printed Hawaiian Outrigger Canoes

Outrigger canoes for Tribal Hawaiian games. These are 3D resin prints from Etsy. These are more for scenery/terrain on the beaches than anything else.



The sails are removable - for easier storage and transport. Paintbrush bristle protector tubes were used to hold the sails onto the canoes.
I added the "horns" the prows and sterns to make them look more Hawaiian.
These canoes, in addition to the earlier completed tikis and coconut trees should do it for terrain. Now to set up a game. Until next time, Aloha and wishing you all the best!

  1. Interesting thing, I’ve never come across anything like this! Does the opponent have an army?

    1. Thank youverymuch, Alexey! The Hawaiians fought each other for centuries until Kamehameha the Great united the islands around 1810. There were a couple of small skirmishes afterwards, sometimes involving Westerners.
