Built this for our Red River/Fort DeRussy game at Historicon in a couple of weeks. Other than a few detail things like a flagpole, it's completed.
link 1/80 scale riverboat steamship model converted to 28mm by raising the height of the ceilings and increasing the door sizes. I made lots of the changes, the most obvious of which is the addition of armor on the first level. |

Well done! I'd love to be able to play in one of those games. |

Great job, it will definitely stand out on the table! |

Very nice. How long it it take to build? |

Very nice! Looks like it would be a lot of fun to game with. Patrick Hreachmark did a 28mm riverboat to do a gunfight in a year or two ago. Looked very cool. |

Very nice work. The colors are interesting. |

I started back in February, but I only really got busy on it in the past few weeks. The wood decks have a blue-ish color in the photos, whereas in person they are more gray. We'll also have an ironclad in the game, as I've noted previously. |

Back from Historicon. The pictures do not do this model justice. The whole Fort DeRussy game was amazing! |

Great stuff. What was your source for the colors? I have a 15mm "City Class" boat and I have the Osprey book but I can't tell what color they are. Black, grey? |

Internet photos of models, Osprey, interpretation of B&W period pictures, and Tony Gibbons' WARSHIPS AND NAVAL BATTLES OF THE CIVIL WAR. |
