Clever idea putting the boat on the table, makes for some realistic looking water shots.

Fantastic, the Barracuda is just right for Pulp. A great crew as well.

Well done, that man!

Amalric,
For that command I am afraid that you are going to have to ammend that to LT (j.g.) Alex McAlister or even ENS

Nice boat!  and clever water effect - I need to keep an eye open for a piece of that glass.

LB, not being familiar with command sizes, is 4-5 men and a small patrol boat too small for a LT?
Is ENS an Ensign?

How does/did the ranks go?
Ensign, LTJg then LT?


Thanks for all the kind words everyone.

Amalric,
Yes, ENS is for Ensign (O1) and you have the order of ranks correctly.  JFK was a LT(j.g.) (O2) when he commanded PT109, which was a slightly larger command in vessel size than your great little Cutter.

I agree. SOme great shots of a nice looking model and crew. The table really gives a nice water effect.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Maybe it is a predecessor to SOCOM (Special Ops Command) and therefore "justified" that way?

Great shots! 8)

I think you've just found the easiest way of creating a gaming water surface. I've firmly filed this for future reference, and when the time comes to make mine, I will certainly pay a visit to the local glassmonger...

And ranks schmanks; it's Pulp, man; you could call him Air Marshall and find a fluffy way of explaining why he's on a boat! :D
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Glen and Daeothar,
Both good and valid comments.  Part of the reason that I love Pulp adventures is that we do not need to let real life interfere with a d@#n good time  lol lol
