The
first bigger ship for my Indonesian pulp harbour. This is the Sea Dog 2 from Games of War and it will supplement the colonial
steam river launch and sampans
from Sarissa and small
boats from Games of War. I still hope to receive a couple of bigger ships
in time for the game.
It's a resin kit with wooden mast and bow-spit. It is painted
just like the river launch. The stern is white and Citadel Foundation Mechrite
Red. I might make a free-hand painting of something suitable, mermaid or
whatever, sometime in the future. But at the moment that and a name for the
ship have to wait. Too much stuff that needs to be done.
I had to scratch-build the tiller. Made from a chop-stick. |

Not a totally unheard of crew, by the way, as they are the ones making Wargame Blogger Quarterly free
PDF-magazine. Well worth a read, both the magazine and the blog. The latter is
a record of the wars between the imagi-nations Grand Duchy of Saxe-Coburn und
Buchholz and the Principality of Velikye Byelgorodniya. Lots of tips and ideas
if imagi-nation wars is your thing.
