Title: Colonial Shipping
Post by: Chris Abbey on August 30, 2018, 12:56:07 PM
Sally 4th Tramp Steamer: Lee Shepard has just sent us this lovely picture of the  “Maria Rosaria” out of Valletta (because his  wife is Maltese). Always good to see what people have done with our kits. This is a recent kit. I've used it in my colonial and pulp games a lot and it would probably look good alongside a pier or jetty from 1880's right up to about 1950.

Yep - this is my handiwork.

The only changes I made to the standard kit were to change the supplied laser cut card for some black 600gsm artboard for the sides of the ship, as well as making my own larger hatches.

I also added a pair of bunks & lockers - similarly supplied by Sally 4th.

Although a couple of the smaller pieces are a bit fragile (so be careful when cutting them out), it’s a very sturdy piece when put together. Wonderfully modular kit for your Pulp/BoB games. Highly recommended.

Now all I need is a tug (big hint there Chris  ;) ).

Nice job. Mine's stalled at the "adding the sides" stage due to having visitors and going away myself. I'll have to get it back out after I've been away (again) next week.
