Jack,

My apologies, but I'm going to have to report you to PETG and DPTG. (People for the Ethical Treatment of Grass and Don't Paint The Grass) And do steer clear of the vegans for a bit until they calm down.

Nice boat otherwise.

Lol indeed, it's my bad grass spot in the garden

Promised, next time, I'll put some cardboard background ;-)

PS : I found on a blog some nice maritime accessories sold on ebay. I'll order some I guess, they me be of interest to crafters here if you don't already know about it :

I have had the Playmobil ship for some years now, haven't done anything to it though. Will keenly follow your progress with your ships and shamelessly steal any ideas for my ship then

Started working on my Cargo. Slowly. I'm making a 1st one as I managed to grab 3. I won't follow Michi on assembling 2 in 1 for now, so just using a single one and converting it into a cargo to train my crafting. One of my upcoming pulp rpg campaign players will be playing a smuggler, so I will attribute him this boat and crew (from pulp figures). Using polystyren, cardboard and coffee wooden "mixers" to make a wooden floor.
Still a lot of work to do… Especially as I don't know yet how it will look like in the end.

Does anyone know about nice Oriental Junks ? I think I had seen laser cut wood ones but can't find the link anymore...

Reviresco has a nice Imperial Chinese Junk: http://wargameterrain.blogspot.be/2015/05/reviresco-new-imperial-chinese-war-junk.html

Thanks. Anything more civilian ?

Ahoy there, me shiverin' mateys, heave-ho!!!

could the chinese junk not be civilised? I'm not an expert concerning far-eastern ship-building, but it feels like something you can get away with.

Anyway, here I am again advocating the good old scratch build. I remember a plan for a nice pulpy tramp released a while ago by ModelBoats Magazine (which is mainly about Radio control models). They often add free beginners' plans and instructions to issues, so it's worth keeping an eye out. I share this one here because ist hull is constructed quite simple and can be waterlined easily by just subtracting an Inch or so from the bottom of the hull.

this one too Looks sufficiently pulpy to be of interest here:

And here is my take on a little freighter:

She's named Kauru, after a New Zealand river. The real thing was called Gowerian, an english coaster built in 1921. There are still lots of details missing, she'll need some aging around the hull, for instance. As you all see she can be easily waterlined as long as the tabletop is wet enough.
I'm also thinking about crewing her with some nice 28mm minis (any suggestions, I'm a total newby to wargaming).

Cheers
Peter

WOah really nice !

Should I ever build a Steamer, there's a great paper model by I-forget-who (my favourite publisher

), that I figure I will try to build in plasticard and cardboard instead of paper.

That freighter is magnificent. If you want to scratch-build a junk you can do no better than Amalric's thread here. I haven't copied this yet but I keep meaning to.

Fantastic !

More than 6 months later, I am almost done with my cargo. I used a TTCombat cargo half for the upper cabin part.

Still some stuff to do but it's coming along.

This is really starting to look the business.

Thanks for the post I hadn't seen the thread before some amazing work on here
