My friend Lee at RAFM asked me to build them a 'nef for one of their Steampunk/VSF/Space 1889 projects. The result was H.M.A.S. Boudicea. She's based on a 1/48 scale Revell Swift Patrol Boat. Add a fan from an old computer, tail wings from a 1/72 scale B-25 Mitchell bomber, the RAFM Doom Cannon and gatling gun, a kit-bashed crane, and lots of RAFM bits, and your good to go. Captain Vern Jules proudly displays his newest creation.

Outstanding! Great gaming piece with plenty of room for figures.

Nicely done, everything ties in well together.

Nice work. That's the same kit I used as a basis for my French Montagne class Aeronef:

Garbage, it should be flying the White Ensign not the Union Flag, which incidentally is upside down anyway!!

Well spotted sir! I noticed the absence of White Ensign but decided not to comment. However, I admit to completely having missed that the Union Flag was upside down!

Lovely airship!

Very nice work.
I used the Revel Viking ship as the basis for my aeroneff (not sure of the scale).

I think the boxes now are marked 1/60; damn fine work, by the by!

Way more than I've been able to bring myself to. I've got a couple of old toy SW desert skiffs to try and make 15mm Martian trade craft, and I've not even built the upper decks...
