Basic shape looks very easy, but the devil is in the details. |

I think you could do it with a couple of GameCraft MDF buildings on top of a large, flat Really Useful Box. -Chris K. |

should be easy to cut that out of mdf, only simple flat panels. Something else to design |

Do you mean a wargaming model, or a real one? You can never be too prepared for the Apocalypse |

I think the tires are key. |
| PJ Parent | 05 Mar 2013 3:13 p.m. PST |
The article and pictures don't give a good indication of scale – how big would you want it? |
| Cacique Caribe | 05 Mar 2013 3:26 p.m. PST |
I guess large enough for 3-4 shops and huts for the vendors to live in. Maybe if I remove these from their base and re-position on a barge deck? link Thoughts? Dan |

There is a company called Frenchman River Model Works that make HO (1:87) boat and barge kits. I bought one to use for modern Spec Ops with 15mm. They would work out for 20mm as well. |

Now that you've prompted my memory, Walthers do a moulded plastic RR barge kit in 1/87 too. That could work out nicely for something like this. |

link Should be fairly easy to make, as noted the details such as the tires are paramount…

Have come up with a model: link
Is it like what you wanted? Needs bit more tweaking to finalise the design. Regards MMG |

WOW. That looks amazing!!! Dan |

Anyone else thinking of getting two or three of those barges, linking them together with rope bridges and then using the container packs and scrap to build a shanty town on top? I will have to hold off on that project though; Just spent the last of my alloted hobby allowance on tracking down two of the six remaining First Edition Twilight 2000 modules I don't already have. Never found anyone crazy enough to play them with me but they are a joy to peruse anyway. PS: anyone have a copy of a Survivor's Guide to the United Kingdom that they would be willing to part with? |

You know, you what one to barge into your gaming, to carry off your hard earned cash, to shackle you with another project! Regards MadMechaGuy |

@gasmasked mook.
I think I have every book and version of t2000 in the loft. I will have a look to see what's left. Sure I have The UK one. |
| Gasmasked Mook | 23 Mar 2013 11:31 a.m. PST |
Wow! I was just about to put a message up on the Modern RPG board. I have been hunting down the last few modules for a while now. Satellite Down, Howling Wilderness and the RDF Sourcebook are the other three (although I am only really interested in the last two, Satellite Down just for the sake of completeness). But as a Brit, A Survivor's Guide to the UK has always been something of a grail for me. Please do tell me if you find anything. And maybe I can justify a barge as part of a Pirates of the Vistula campaign… |

It would make for a cool game to have a couple of linked barges pulled by a tug travleing down a river. Wasteland mutants firing from the shore and attempting to board in little boats. At the far end of the game board is a blockade like Sand Pebbles faced. |
| republic of tolworth | 23 Mar 2013 11:45 a.m. PST |
Think I have all those, no promise, but I will check. Aghhh! Just checked, some 2nd ed stuff. Rest went to recycle! Clucking Bell! |
| Gasmasked Mook | 23 Mar 2013 12:14 p.m. PST |
RECYCLE? Such an ignominious end… I fear I will be up tonight, imagining those books turned into fast-food wrappers and tween-lit vampire novels. The humanity! Well, guess I'll have to keep looking. Some say that the joy is in the hunt. |

@Mad Mecha Guy. They're very cool….could have done with those a couple of weeks ago when I was finishing the 'dock area' of the shanty town for our Hammer's Slammers game @ Salute! If you are coming to Salute come see me @ the game…..you've some really good stuff on your site! |
| Mad Mecha Guy | 25 Mar 2013 7:25 a.m. PST |
dear Bullwinkletecat12 yes I will be coming to salute, should be there by around 1030, will seek out the game, otherwise be found lurking around GZG stand admiring the new miniatures.
