Last thursdays RM got bumped a week, so in the mean time I've been preparing for RM7. RM7 will be played as a role playing game in two parts, with each part lasting for four or five sessions. The second part takes place in a harbour, and that requires ship models. I already have a freighter, which I shall modify and weather in the meantime, but this week end, in between watching movies, I've been drawing up plans for an early twentieth century destroyer model. I've cut the base of the hull which measures 120cm long by 12cm wide. Its in two 60cm long sections because I couldn't find any card that was long enough. I'll post WIP images of the model as I build it, but in the mean time here is a scan of my schematic.

Hows this for an armoured train design scheme. I found it on a forum a while back, and kept the pic for inspiration.

  this is @Svenn's Polish armoured guncar, I think he even offered it for sale, here on LAF

Here are a few examples of the type of vessel I am aiming for.

...and here is a snap shot of my latest model, inspired in part by Pulp Miniatures 'China Station', I've been looking at shanty buildings and using the insides of cardboard to replicate rusty old corrugated metal sheeting.

This game actually took place a few weeks ago, but an eye injury forced me to postpone the write up.

The next Rocketman campaign will probably be late in the year. I'll post images in a new thread when the time comes. Thanks for all the compliments and interest over the course of this thread, and here is a preview of the carnage.
