Olde Shippe Yard

Decided to expand the fleet


Scored a couple of different hull varieties with another K-Mart find, this time Pirate Island playset, which also included some other goodies, that I'll show you later 


First attempt


Not be confused with one of these


Second


Also made this vehicle landing barge - multi national, of course




I may have to make small bases for these because they have a very narrow beam (nautical terms for you Col )


In CD terms these will transport x2 infantry stands or x1 light vehicle





All made from bits and pieces.

  3. Great job Al. They have a very Dunkirk(y) feel to them. Another fine way to re purpose toy ships. Most unusual scantlings! (Obscure nautical term!)
    Cheers

  4. It's not every day a chap is complimented on his scantlings, is it? Nice conversions!

  7. Thanks all. I've had a lot of fun messing about with these. I think they'll fit in with multiple scenarios
