28mm Nile Steamer for transporting expeditions and the like
« on: February 01, 2008, 03:48:59 PM »
I laid the hull on Jan. 17 and finished painting her Jan. 31. She's abut 30 inches long and 5 inches wide (those are Copplestone figures in the photos for scale.)

http://carmensminiaturepainting.blogspot.com/2008/02/finished-nile-steamer-just-photos.html

So I've chosen three names to choose from and was hoping you Lead Adventure folks could help me name her. I've also set up a poll at the Steve Dean forums (and will combine results.)

She's not ENTIRELY finished- still need to make bunks, chairs and tables for the crew quarters as well as some cargo and some armaments when I can find something I like. Also need to install the lower deck doors. Otherwise, she is ready to float a hunting party into a lost world. (Or some Brits into Khartoum, if I played Sudan.)

Most impressive. Brilliant job there.

You say three names, but the poll only has two.  :?:

Edit: Forget that, there is suddenly and mysteriously a third.  :)
