Rumours of a certain English officer who had disappeared in mysterious circumstances over a year ago are rife in New Victoria.. What has been happening out in the wastes...





More to follow soon...

It's going to look the business when it's complete. I can't wait to start on the crew. ;D

Excellent idea! But is he fighting for the Queen or gone native?  ;D

Will it have an airscrew?

All done apart from the pirate flag that Milly should be providing (chances are though that I'll probably end up doing it  ::) lol ).

Not 100% convinced by the angled smokestacks but it was the best option at the time.








It'll be seeing action soon enough  :D

Heart of Darkness Martian style?

The finished skiff looks marvelous.  I really enjoy your builds/PJs.
This is my boomstick!

Not troubled by the angle, but IMO they look as though they need some kind of stay to tie them back to the platform/superstructure, otherwise they seem a bit unsupported.

That's brill Jim! Great job! What about adding some detail to the top of the stacks? I don't think there's anything wrong with the angle, but maybe you could make the tops look similar to Stevensons Rocket?
