RCW Launch Patrol Boat

[Golgotha]

Scratch built RCW patrol boat made from polystyrene, paper and various bits and bobs - scale is 20mm.

See PT Dockyard RCW articles which I used for some inspiration http://ptdockyard.com/1600-russian-civil-war/

Decided on splinter camouflage despite having no evidence that a scheme like this was used did feel that it was not unreasonable for a Russian vessel to have been influenced in this way.



Close up of naval gun which was made from bits of a pen, pins, plastic card and metal sheeting - it turns too.



Baltic fleet flag



Captain, Cabin, Maxim, and red and white safety ring



Sailing past shows cabin and search light.



Other side, or is it port side.



Close up



Top view.



Gun rear view ready to be loaded.



Close up machine gun HaT miniatures - admittedly not the greatest detail here.



Safety raft which I am thinking of hanging off the side - scratch built from cardboard, balsa and wire rings for the oars.



Safety raft interior.



Pole at the front to have a mini version of Baltic flag.



Just need some more crew, Bolshevik sailors - will add minis at some point based separately so they can be moved around...

I really like this. Nice work. As for the splinter camo - I think it suits that little boat! .... Now ... make a bigger one ...
