28mm Trawler with figures

[Tym]

Found these on ebay and gave them a go I have done one working on the other.  First time working with a Vac-formed model, so some lessons learnt.

The figures are Gripping Beast (Gun Crew)  Empress and Brigade Mounties.  Compared with the Minime boat

Sweet!

[Traveler Man]

Nice! 

[Mancha]

Very nice.  Could you put a figure on the deck and take a new picture?

[traveller]

Very nice!

Please tell us about any drawbacks with these being Vac-formed

Thanks

The only issues so far has been cutting the plastic  I used a sharp knife but it is only a lightweight craft knife a Stanley type may have been better.  Getting things level has also been an issue, trial and error worked in the end.
Painting has taken some time.  There is no or little detail in the model so painting took time.  Sprayed black enamel first then worked with acrylics.

Thank you for the figure pics.  Great model and very nice painting.

Nice start on your "Navy."
They look  very useful for gaming.
Very ship-shaped.

Looks great. Fits in well with the Minimi boat.

Tym they look great! I remember when you showed us those on GWP, and I thought 'Well they look OK, but...'. Now you have painted them they look ace. I am going to have to get some of those! The crew look nice too.

Well done!
