If you’re going to build the largest armada Westeros has ever seen, you might as well go all out and build yourself the largest ship too. In this sneak peek from HBO‘s behind-the-scenes series about the making of Game of Thrones season seven, we get to see just how big Euron Greyjoy‘s boat really was and how they brought his stunning nighttime naval attack to the screen.
This clip is from the second episode of The Game Revealed, HBO’s inside look at the show’s most recent season (and a great way to scratch our Game of Thrones itch). “Battling the Silence” explores the massive ship and how the show didn’t only rely on CGI to bring it to life.
If they ever open a Game of Thrones amusement park (which they definitely will someday), they should recreate this entire ship so you can pretend you’re a crazy pirate with a fondness for eyeliner and axes.
But remember, this is just a clip from the seven-part series. The Game Revealed is only available to HBO subscribers on HBO NOW, HBO GO, and HBO On Demand. Although you can watch the entire first episode even if you aren’t a subscriber.
Hopefully in the rest of this episode they’ll explain where Euron got the wood needed to build a ship this big, since the Iron Islands are pretty much just stone. Especially now that we know only some of the trees they used were CGI.
