Best Blood and Plunder Ship To Convert to A Junk?
« on: July 19, 2020, 08:25:02 PM »
Title says it all really. :) This would be a fairly modern junk for Pulp Alley games. For those unfamiliar with Firelock Games' ships I've included images of the most likely contenders (all except the biggest vessels).

Bark:

Corvette:

Piragua:

Tartana:

Frigate:

Sloop:

If you're up for a bit of DIY,you can check out the venerable Garry Chalk articles originally on the Wargames Foundry website, now available here:  https://wargaming.info/2010/avast-ye-lubbers-a-pirate-ship-in-28mm-part-1/#.XxZePChKiUk and here:  https://wargaming.info/2010/arrr-a-buxom-beauty-a-pirate-ship-in-28mm-part-2/#.XxZeRChKiUk

Another option, from Reverisco, requires a bit of assembly:  http://tin-soldier.com/warjunk.html

If you want something a bit exotic, Old Glory Shipyard has the Dragon Turtle:  https://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/proddetail.asp?prod=JW-20

OG also has a junk https://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/proddetail.asp?prod=MCL-06&cat=388  and a small junk:  https://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/proddetail.asp?prod=MCL-08

Thanks Will Bailie; I wasn't familiar with the Old Glory junk.

You will find another DIY option in the remarkably surviving site of the Major General Tremorden Rederring.

There's an excellent thread on this forum by Amalric, a scratch-built junk. May give some ideas?
