Okay, so I posted some pics of the finished paddle steamer a couple of months ago. This isn't a rehash. This is a link to an illustrated post on my blog, that I wrote today, about how I scratch built her out of cardboard and MDF (mainly). I hope it might be of use. link

Thanks, everyone, for your kind words. 14bore, not fixed ones. It can have a light gun or MG in the bow
as shown in this shot, but unpainted.
As yet, I haven't painted a single Perry figure from the lead pile for this period – and the lead pile for this period is quite something:
Though I have made a town (plus six more town sections since this shot):

I can see why you haven't painted any minis, you're too busy scratch building awesome set pieces! |

As yet, I haven't painted a single Perry figure from the lead pile for this period – and the lead pile for this period is quite something: That is quite a bit. It might take the great James Roach as much as a week to paint it all! Jesting aside – I love the boat, and the town. Very nice work. I have zero interest in colonial gaming, but I am a huge fan of scratch-building projects. |
