I took Terrement's advice and got my tramp steamer pretty dirty link
not as bad as the Indiana Jones boat but pretty close, thanks for the encouragement! |

Hi Anton,
Some wonderful games can be had on that ship. It looks really good. Is it scratch built? I'm impressed! Thank you for sharing. |

It looks good. I don't think the weathering goes overboard (pun intended  ). Jim |

It6's lovely but might I suggest the gunwales fore and aft are a bit high? |

I like it. I have plans to build a steamer but it's behind a long list of things that I bought and paid for already. |

Anton, I will echo Striker's comment . . . and so I am quite appreciative of your excellently detailed "How to Build It" post: link (Daryl, go to above link for Anton's "scratch building" post).

Anton, I know that you don't go in for exact measurements while building your Tramp Steamer . . . but could you please let us know what the overall length, breadth and height of the finished model are?

I stand in awe of projects like this. (Thanks for the link, Jeff!) |

Thanks for the compliments! Overall length 20", beam 3.5" height 4" (top of the cabin)
She is a bit long and narrow for a freighter, more of a caricature of a ship than a scale model. The forward and aft gunwales are high, mostly to provide cover, this model is mostly intended as a feature in games involving a Pulp-themed port, shoot-outs with bad-guys and evil cultists ….that sort of thing. |
