Title: My Newest Pulp Toy
Post by: Melnibonean on 15 July 2013, 10:03:18 AM: My gaming club held a ship making day as a lead up to our annual Pirates in September event.
I already have a pirate ship so I thought: "Why not tag along and learn how to make a ship". The result is this little beauty.
I now have the basic knowledge I need to make that long planned tramp steamer...

She will go well with some dockside toughs that a new company recently released.

Care to share the basics on how you built her?

I think I have that set... Or maybe more than one! :?

I'm hoping to start work on a tramp steamer soon and I'm hoping I remember to take plenty of progress pics (I tend to get too involved and forget)
:?

I don't know. I've thought about it but as yet I haven't come up with anything suitable. I certainly don't want to name her: "Proper Noun Queen".

Post by: Ithaquatini on 16 July 2013, 06:11:15 PM: The boat looks great, just the size I was looking for. Are the sides wood, plasticard, or something else? Is the boiler PVC pipe?
I look forward to your tramp steamer build.
