Very WIP at the moment, but I'm making a 28mm-ish patrol boat for mysel'. It's based on the island class patrol boats reduced a bit in size due to budgetry cutbacks

Clean lines and nicely pointed ~~nose~~ prow.

Should be interesting to see her develop.

Well managed to drag myself away from civ 3 and made a little bit of progress, also started scratchbuilding the armament but no pictures of that yet, it's not allowed

anyone got any ideas for crew or something to convert into chaps and chapettes in anti-flash

Pulp Figures has a bunch of sailors and such that might work:

Nice as the pulp figures are, they're not modern and military enough for me

What time period/type of crew are you looking for?

voltan · « **Reply #9 on:** September 12, 2010, 10:56:19 PM »

Royal navy in the eighties, definatly in anti-flash gear, did find some in 1/35 but nothing for the 28mm yet.

and here's an in progress of the 40mm inspired boomstick

Very skillfully put together.

Awesome gun.

Have no idea for the crew though.

As for crew, I can think of only one figure which is not really available yet. This one...http://theminiaturespage.com/news/206088/

looks great, I am surprised no one does 80's RN crew...

voltan · « **Reply #14 on:** September 19, 2010, 10:32:56 PM »

Thanks for the heads up on that, will definatlly be after one when they're available, other than that I think I'm going to have a go at sculpting some crew myself, well is there a better way to spend a week off work other than lamenting my lack of ability to push putty about. Any sculptor want to lend me their un-godly sculpting talent

Oh yeah should be working on the boat this week too.
