My First Tramp Steamer Project
« on: 27 February 2009, 01:04:44 AM »
Finding myself rushed for a Tramp Steamer for a game scenario and only 8 hours to build it out came the foam core, hot glue, contact cement, card stock, floor tilies and hair dryer to speed drying time. I did not want to fall back on using a paper shipboard diagram!

One fellow at the game commented to a blatant oversight on my part"you didn't paint in water" to which I told him "have another beer".

My next steamer will be larger and better laid out with an above decks superstructure that will accomidate more passenger rooms and a better cargo bay layout.

Posting identical posts in different forums is just cruel. I spent a good 3 or 4 minutes wondering where my reply had gone to.

And heck, I love this one. I've been looking for something like that for some time. Thanks for the link.
