Title: Bronekater 1125 and PG117 patrol boats for Bolt Action
Post by: soapy on February 13, 2017, 05:47:28 PM

Wocha,

Been a while but I'm back and doing. First new project for a while and it's an easy to transport pocket money build of three Soviet river craft for a new Bolt Action project. Build primarily from packaging from Amazon, a frozen pizza box and plasticard the total cost has run me about £7.

Below are shots of the finished build (so not really WIP, sorry Jim) showing the boats assembled and broken down for transport in a half size KR multicase card transport case.

Stay lucky,
Soaps.

A spare tank turret which inspired the whole build. I hate having useable bits sitting around idle.

Now primed and ready for a quick fault check before final paint.

Did you use some plans (and are they available) or free hand it?

Just googled the boat model number followed by 'plans' and got a few results with dimensions noted and then just went from there.

Thanks all for the kind words. With luck I'll have an AAR in early March.

Well that is impressive. My son has been chomping at the bit to build a bronekater and this is as inspirational as it gets.
