28mm Pulp Submarine
« on: October 01, 2016, 02:06:00 PM »
First up I know that this does not meet the exacting standards and creative genius on some of these boards but I needed a 28mm Sub for my upcoming Dads Army Game at BLAM and it had to be built pronto...I have less than seven days and I could guarantee that real life was going to get in the way if I left it any longer...

So I present the 28mmPulp Sub built in 24 hours...

It is solid, stable and figures kan stand on it without risk of falling over. It may not be a super realistic looking miniature version of a real life submarine but as a piece of gaming scenery it is really top notch. Perfect balance between looks and playability imo.
Wel done!

It's simple,it effective ,it's functional,and there's no doubting what it's ment to represent .
So it'll get used.For me there's no better result than having what you make being used.
The time scale is spot on the longer you take the more chances the real world has to object to you relaxing.
As for meeting standards .You made it ,it works! For me All standards met and exceeded  ;D
In short great fun piece and I like it.
Mark.
