Title: Pulpy Tramp Steamer - FINISHED (update 05 Sept 2015)
Post by: Eric the Shed on January 18, 2015, 07:03:46 PM: Fed up with waiting for the "build it something contest" to start I decided to crack on with my next project for the Egyptian Adventures/Lost World/Pulp projects...this would be my take on the tramp steamer.

I have already posted part 1 on the blog...which of course will take you to part 2

Post by: Wirelizard on January 24, 2015, 08:21:21 AM: The use of cord (1mm or something similar, I'm guessing?) and tape is inspired.

I've used masking tape as tarpaper on roofs and other surfaces before, but using it as texture on painted metal hadn't occurred to me.

Looking forward to the next progress report!

Post by: Valerik on February 08, 2015, 06:52:01 PM: Salty!!

I really like what you've hatched!!

Her proportions are so natural, ever so much more a ship, than a gaming piece of scenery.

You, Sir, set the bar VERY high indeed.

Might I suggest bow anchors port & starboard? She seems of a size to warrant same.

Any chance we'll see mastage & boomifications soon?
