I am finally back on this.
I'm happy with the detailing so far and have purposely keep the deck clear for cargo and figures.
The masts need to be added then to paint.

C&C always welcome.
Thanks.

That has turned out exceptionally well.
A beautifully crafted, clean build that you can rightfully be proud of.
Great work!

Oh, and very much looking forward to the paintjob.

Stonking build.

Love her "lines".

What happens at the prow end? A drop down "boarding ramp"?

Looking superb!

Thank you for all the kind words everyone.
The masts are installed and now to paint both Junks and the rest of the pirates.
I'm still debating on whether to do the sails.
Pro-the sails have a unique shape that helps ID the craft as a Junk
Con-its a gaming piece where the sails probably will be in the way and be removed for play

As far as I can tell, it's just open as shown in the pic in the link below.

Maybe for ease of loading cargo?
Or jumping off of when boarding?

These plans might help understanding the bow. They're scanned from a book in my collection, "The Junks and Sampans of the Yangtze". The text notes the 3' gap at the bow was typical of the design but it doesn't say why (though I haven't read the entire book!).

Do the sails! Do the sails!

Being Pulp I'd be inclined to throw a little imagination in there with either a shield like lowering ramp or a short "railing".

But she sure is a beauty!

Distasteful reprobate, showing your junk in public like that.

Probably something really technical or nautical.....like making it easier to chuck your crap overboard.

Zeb, thank you for the plans.

Furt, I'm leaving it open, but will put crates, Lo Pans death ray, etc. in there when I game.

I'm working my way thru the crew while figuring out exactly how I'm going to paint the junks.

Thank you.

Amalric · « **Reply #43 on:** July 09, 2013, 11:41:15 PM »

Well just a quick update, the pirates are done except for the basing.
Here is a teaser pic of the infamous Black Pants Pirates!

Now off to paint the junks.
Proper spiffy glamor pics when its all done.
C&C always welcome.
