Last Crusade Motorboats

[War In 15MM]

I bought these three bathtub toy motorboats at the swap meet for between 50 cents and a dollar each.  The were made by Chevron Old Co. and I guess given out as prizes at some time in the distant past.  I liked the fact that they looked like the old wooden motorboats in Indiana Jones Last Crusade.  I cut the bottoms off to make them waterline and added Milliput for water.  I also added a new steering wheel to each because the one they came with was huge.  I then gave each a slightly different paint job/color scheme.  I've included an unpainted Copplestone 28mm figure for scale.  I've included two pictures.  One with the photoshop water and one without.

Really nice collection of waterfront items crafted from swap meet finds.  You must be the king of the swap meet converters

All Hail the Swap King!!

Well done...don't know where you live or what swap meets you go to, but you have a great collection of terrain and boat items for virtually nothing except some time and effort.
Thanks for sharing.

I have GOT to start hitting the toy stores and dollar stores for these kinds of finds.  Genius!  Do you carry a 28m figure around in your pocket to size it out?  Or do you just eyeball it?

Another little gem!
All of finds are brilliant, well thought out and cheap. What a great combination!

Nope, that's my feet! 


Seriously, ther are SO many things to turn into gaming stuff, if you can just spot them - and some are obviously better at that than others!

Brilliant!
