The above link is an image of a model sail and steam ship. It is actually a kit that goes for about $500.
Never fear I won't be buying anything like that... anytime soon. What I will be doing is using it as inspiration. Remember that board I said I was working on? I mentioned pictures? The pictures were full of lies but the board was not. It falls on my shoulders to add to the harbor scene the raiding vessel!
Here's the plan:
- Steam and sail ship
- 7" wide by 26-27" long
- 2 masts
- 2 decks
- 6 guns (3 on each side)
- wide open deck space so raiding player can set up her/his forces on the ship with enough room
- paddle wheel will be one large wheel in the back of the ship with the engine room also in the back with the exhaust pipes coming out at 45 degrees
- fore section will be built up if time allows
- foam core base
- office depot stirring sticks for wooden planks
- balsa wood dowels for masts
- aaaaaand I'm still working on the rest, more to come
