[Lowtardog]

A lovely cargo ship master has been finished alongside a launch and small motor boat, very useful for 20th Century gaming

Oooooh. Rather good...
Now I won't have to build my own tramp steamer after all.

Not sure about the cast on base though

It could be because that is the master for the mold

Ah. Okay. That makes sense. Thanks Karl...
Any price mentioned yet?

Not yet and I am not 100% certain on the base, I will drop him a line tonite to find out.

Yup. Its, just for the mould-making.

The Cargo Ship is going to be £20. the first should be ready Monday. I will post photo's once it's painted.

After that there'll be a trawler, powered barge, and a small coaster. Also looking into Colonial period river craft.

Why do I want one even if I don't have any minis to go with it? Could someone explain this?

Because you are a Lead Adventurer - you want EVERYTHING - the world is not enough etc

Welcome Lewis just about to post it here

"The base is there purely for the process of making the mold - it won't be on the finished model. A cardboard wall is stuck around this base and the rubber poured over the master, the walls of the mold are about 1cm (ish) thick, so the base is about that much wider than the boat, I'll take some photo's and put them up here that may explain the process if you're interested.

The wheelhouse assembly will be a separate piece and there will also be a bit of 6mm dowel for the foremast.

The first casts should be made Sunday - so a picture of the finished article maybe Monday (painted). Will put up a picture of the first casting with just an undercoat as soon as I can."


I will reserve a couple as these look great your best work yet

Are you tempted to dabble in the period Lewis?

Since Solway asked me to do some boats I've had little time for anything else. Yes, I'm tempted to have a go but I still have to finish (or at least have a bit of a go) at least some of my other projects (20mm 8th Army, 28mm WW1 Germans, 28mm WW2 Brits etc etc) At least with Mr Earp away in the big city I only get hassled on the weekends.

Hehe, I didnt say anything about finishing projects

Yes chatted to him last week I expected him to have finished all his projects by now but suspect the bright lights have beckoned

[Captain Blood]

Thanks all for the info, and thanks for coming on Lewis.

A trawler and a coaster too... Mmmmmm. At last I have an incentive to paint up my merchant crew...

I think you'll find quite a few takers for these goodies here on LAF

Class! Need one of those.
