I want to add a couple Junks and Sampans to my fleet.  In keeping with the look of the rest, I'd prefer to make from scratch with poster board and card board.  Are there any templates that would work?

> nick - i think there's a gary chalk template floating around somewhere and even though it's for a pirate ship, it should work out well for the hull shape.

I scratchbuilt this in 15mm for a gamer friend about 4 years ago - and he still hasn't run a game with it.   :? 
It was meant for colonials, but wouldn't look amiss in a pulp game.

Does anyone know how this model stand next to a 28mm model.



With a LOA of almost 40 cm it seems like at least the hull could be useful for a conversion.

Nicely done, Bezzo! Looks very playable!

Scale is 1:142, so for 1:56 (28mm), it would be 67% or so too small
