Hi all...it's me again with another project.
I figured a cargo ship of some kind was needed for my 28mm submarine to go after, but still needed to be compact enough for a game board/table and big enough for a bit of play.
This tramp is of a generic but classic look(S.S. Venturesque).....
The materials are of the normal items I use...i.e. cardboard, foam core, plastic bitz, crafting wood, washers and grommets of various sizes, puff paint for rivets, watch parts, wire for the door handles and such.....

I still have a lot of minor details to get to like the steam pipes for the cargo winch and anchor windlass...some cables and a hook for the cargo boom...a spot light over the wheelhouse, and a life boat for the stack level, or i may just hang it from the stern via davits...I also intend to make beds and dressers for the staterooms, the chart table and ship's wheel for the wheel house...the crews quarters will be furnished with beds and lockers...and a kitchen/mess...also there will be a fuel oil fired scotch styled boiler and triple expansion engine along with fuel tanks in the engine room.
Let me know your thoughts as I will accept ALL criticisms and ideas.
Thanks and cheers!!,
Carl

Wowee zowee super keen!
Really nice set-up. I love all the playable areas! Nice weathering and detailing too with the rust and all those RIVETS!
-
Very nice work!! Thats quite the beast :-* :-* :-*
-
;) That's fantastic! Like the rivets, too. What is puff paint?
-
Fantastic looking vessel. :o :-*
-
:o :o :o o_o :-*
That's just FANTASTIC!
...can I have it?
-
hey guys...thank you for the comments!!
General,....this is puff paint...
(http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk164/roadskare63/puff%20paint025_zps9qq9b6wc.jpg) (http://s280.photobucket.com/user/roadskare63/media/puff%20paint025_zps9qq9b6wc.jpg.html)
It is used to create 3D art on fabric weather it be a picture or words...it comes in many different colors.
When it dries it becomes a rubbery solid and is paintable.
The applicator is very small and affords quite good control when you squeeze the bottle.
It can be found in any craft store and the craft dept. of wal*mart.
Cheers, Carl
-
She's a real beauty!
-
Love it! :-*
Wish I had the skill and guts to do such projects :(
-
Argonor,
Thank you for your comment.
It just takes time and patience...i have never done a steamship before, but I had to try...and sure I goofed up a few times...ya just learn from the mistakes is all.
I have lurked on sites like Lead Adventures Forum for years picking up ideas and techniques from a great bunch of folks who were good enough to share their experiences
before i tried my first castle. I do a lot of research on a project before I start a build to get an idea and feel for how others do their miniatures.
You can do ANYTHING you put your mind to.
Cheers,
Carl
-
Cracking stuff! I love the finish you've achieved! :-*
-
It definitely puts mine to shame...well done sir !!
-
:o
What a beauty...
I´m in planing phase for my own Tramp Steamer... Thank you for new ideas. ;)
-
That is excellent! I only had made the passenger/crew to cargo compartment ratio in favour of the cargo bay, but this is no criticism. Very well done - a true beauty!
-
I loved the Sub!! :-*
But the Steamer is marvellous :-* 8) :o :D
Just don't let Doug McClure anywhere near them!! Or they'll get lost somewhere! lol
I want one or maybe two....of each. Wish I could build like that!
-
hey, thank you all so much for the comments!!
Eric The Shed, your work and blog are marvelous and always gave me ideas to want to try!!
>MalcyBogaten.... lol @ Doug McClure!!!!! I so remember those Land and People that time Forgot movies
Michi yeah, I may have gone a little overboard!! lol
Thanx again guys, Y'all are Great!!...will post more soon on the interior areas...
Carl
-
Howabout an "At the Earth's Core!" Iron Mole?
o_o
Caroline Munro!!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
No I don't think you could build Her! (If you can I'll take a dozen!!! lol
-
Excellent! She has real personality. :-*
-
LOL.....MalcyBogaten!!!!...If I was talented enough to build a Caroline Munro I'd be a rich man!! :o
Thank you Traveler Man...I really am proud of her!
-
LOL.....MalcyBogaten!!!!...If I was talented enough to build a Caroline Munro I'd be a rich man!! :o
Oooohh! Go On! I'll buy it! :D
:P
-
Lovely work :-* 8) :-*
-
Thanks for posting this up, its a real inspiration.
-
That is seriously good and eminently gameable.
Kudos on both counts!
8) :-* 8)

Beautiful work! :-*

A man after my own heart,recycle what you can buy what you haven't time to build.
A tip would to go thinner with the internal walls,you can add strength by using strips of card with rivets it's also a great way to hide strengthing strips.(if you place a strip back to back,one inside and one outside you get strength with out the risk of having to build thicker walls especially when representing metal walls.)
It's not easy to get the proportion's right when building to a model you want to game with both inside and out.(a lower and longer hull would work better and be stronger )
It stands out because you've got your sub in the picture(which is nice in its own right) which is a surface to game on rather than in.Which is long and low,and only makes the steamer look taller and shorter.
That said you've projected the feel of a sea going Tramp Steamer very well.(I'd be more than happy to game with on my table.)
Job well done ,
Looking forward to seeing the finished article,it's going to be a great model to own.
Mark.
-
I am really diggin the support from y'all!!...Thank You!
tin shed gamer,
Thanx for the idea to get stronger but thinner interior walls...I had not thought about it during the build, but you make a good point!!
Y'all are great!!...support wise AND inspiration wise!!
Cheers,
Carl
-
lol your welcome (people think I know what I'm talking about when it comes to card modelling but just between you and me I don't I just make it up as I go along ;))
Your right there's some great advice ,and ideas on this forum,and as a rule some great like minded people.
Now stop procrastinating and get if finished.as I'm waiting on an update.(also I'm not beyond borrowing ideas :D)
Mark
-
Wow! Just came across this, and that is one superb build. You've done a great job painting too.

Just a little TEASER of what I am up to with the tramp.....
engine room and cabin furnitures...

They are small...but the triple expansion steam engine has twin fuel oil fed boilers...the supplemental draw fuel and water tanks are in the stern.
There will also be a small generator hooked up to the steam engine crank shaft.

The state rooms will have simple beds, tables, and closet...the forward crews quarters has bunks, table and galley items such as stove, sink, and cooler box.
I will post when i finish painting everything...That's it for now...
Cheers,
Carl
-
Already very impressive!
-
The steamer is beautiful - an amazing scratchbuild and lovely weathering.
The fittings and furniture - brilliant stuff! I think you need to go and work for Ikea :D
-
Fantastic :o :-* 8)
Love the Furniture! Again Sir!
I want loads! May have to try my hand. But no way will I match these. o_o
-
IMPRESSIVE - to say the least! that's all super fantastic. i just wonder if all the decor will be removable in case there's need for gaming.
-
glorious with a hint of madness,,,perfect
-
heeh...hey!!...thanks so much for the positive comments!!...I think i have left room for gaming in most of the areas...at least enough room for figures to get around pete...but we will see...i had planned to glue some of the furniture like the closets and the galley area down as well as the crew's Q furniture...the engine room and fuel/water rooms as well...but space for a few figures to be staged...
and...LOL@ eric...yessss....I am quite mad!! heh...this hobby was meant to calm ...soothe the nerves that cause the madness.....BUT.......lol!!
tytyty MomMalcyBogaten, Momotaro, and Cymril!!
So far, I am still enjoying this build...but the end is near!!
Cheers,
Carl
-
Brilliant!
I am looking forward to the progress on this.
:D 8) :D

UPDATED!!
Interior shots with painted furniture in place...I still have to connect the steam engine to the boilers and maybe build a smoke flu for the boilers...but that may be a bit much...

I still have to place the wheel latches on the bulkhead doors as well as build the ship's wheel for the bridge/wheelhouse and the hook and lines for the cargo boom.
but let me know what ya think so far...things have been going slowly due to Halloween decorations and such
Cheers,

-
carl - "may be a bit much"??? i think the level of detail you already have is way over the top already - at least compared to my feeble attempts.
-
Looks great! Well done! :-*
-
Stunning level of detail in scratchbuild
-
:-* so glad I came across this thread :o absolutely love it :-* Inspired and inspiring at the same time....thanks for sharing
-
Thank you guys!!...your support keeps me going for more and more ideas to jump into....I dothink I will add just a few more details and then say "Finished"...and on to the next project.
Cheers,
Carl
-
Cracking work on the bunks and kitchenette! 8) Nicely done little details in there and it really sets the scene for it being a fun game. :)
Cheers
Matt
-
Carl just keep pushing the detailing the same level of painting on the inside as on the out,or it'll bug the hell out of you every time you look at it.Still an enjoyable model that no one here wouldn't want to game with.
Mark.

Hey Mark,
Yes...I will have to dirty/rust up the interior soon.....as yeah it's much too clean and out of sync with the outside of the tramp...that said...I will add a hook to the deck boom and call it done after the interior paint...I hope to post this in a week or so...(Halloween party prep and decorations shut me down for a few weeks)
Thanks for all the support you guys!!...It really helps!
Cheers,
Carl
