I've been wanting to add a small ship to the dockside set out in my Pulp games. I happened on an 'ornamental' ship model at a shop near Matt's house last month. It was an open mesh construction with a large boiled/funnel arrangement which I removed, together with the ornamental awnings and seats. I covered the open mesh with green stuff and the open deck areas with plasticard.
The deckhouse, bridge and deck gun are from Minimi ~ thanks Lewis ~ off the new armed trawler. I've ordered some additional armament and sailors from Bob Murch's excellent Pulp Miniatures, so in their abscence I've put a couple of police figures by the same hand and some from Sloppy Jalopy.
Don't be too harsh, I have eleven thumbs when it comes to modelling. Don't ask about scale either, its a token used in a 28mm Pulp setting, not a scale model. It will do for me for now.
