Hi guys,

I need quite a few merchant ships for a distant wargames campaign I'm planning. I use 1:600 ships by Xyston, but I don't want to pay £6.00 GBP each for merchant vessels. So I've knocked up a master to cast from.

A step by step post can be found on my blog – with photos of each stage.

Very nice – thanks for the demo. I've been tempted by Xyston for quite a while.

I think you mean "knocked out" or "knocked together" though. :)

No, us Brits do use knocked up, although it also has the meaning you guys use….

On-topic, very nice model; it really looks the part alongside the Xyston model.

Ok. But the image is burned in now anyway….
