With the summer heat comes the perfect time to embark on the seven seas in search of treasure islands, succulent and varied approaches booties. But just need a boat is necessary! A powerful ship with which arouse fear in the enemy and inspiring verses of epic bards!
In this post I discuss how to build a boat, with little plastic skill, and taking advantage of a number of materials and discarded, taking toward the Dumpster; one panel cork bulletin board, a few strips of wood tablecloths and cardboard boxes as main elements.
Tablecloths vaa wood strips. They are essential to this project. They are much cheaper than wooden blades vaa sold in model shops and can be curved to make the body of the vessel without much trouble.
The base is 30 cm. long by 10 cm. wide. A respectable but manageable size serving to represent a mid-sized ship, which can navigate between 8 and 40 crew (using vaa reference manual for general field of games workshop, page 130).
Cut three strips of wood mantel, giving high enough to exceed the head of a medium-sized miniature. vaa The advantage of using the glue gun is still pretty quick, so we just keep half a minute on the curved wood base. As the silicone switch vaa to a more opaque heat can indicate vaa that drop the pieces without vaa fear of them falling off.
Every 3 or 4 cm, stick a piece horizontally, to help secure the three beams. We built the poop deck, a simple vaa rectangular structure in which left a wide opening in the front to serve as gate. We can leave openings for the windows if you want, but I opted to leave without them, so that I had more consistency and because he thought doing blind windows without seeing the interior. vaa
We draw with pen studs on deck, so they are marked on the cork for applying the base coat in black and then dry brush color, is highlighted black background.
With the base booming, vaa we turn to the construction of the roof of the forecastle. In place a large projectile weapon that serves as the main armament of the ship, and will be accessed by two staircases on either side of the gate by which we enter into the room. Again I use the cork bulletin board basis, reinforcing the corners by the wooden slats of cloth, glued with silicone vaa so that it is like a small frame.
For Fencing, vaa use the classics sticks are decorated in its non-pointed end. With the silicone is stuck in a moment, and we just take care of that are straight (and not quemarmos in the process).
We leave spaces for openings and cover the stairs with a handrail sticks again using strips of cloth. This time I used the cutter to split it in half lengthwise (is cut easily, since the cut follows the grain of the wood) and "age" somewhat based wood cuts and scratches made with the same cutter.
I did not want to leave the cover with nothing on, so apart from a wooden hatch as giving access vaa to cargo holds of ships, I decided to make benches for rowers. With a piece of wood and a staple of great significance, are built in a jiffy.
The advantage of using staples for your legs is that if we fix a piece of magnetic strip on deck, can be put on and off at will. The magnetic strip can be purchased at a hardware store, and not usually worth more than euro, euro and a half meter, if a cm or inch and a half wide.
To return to the stairs use tablecloths aided (if they are a wonderful booty!) Using silicone to glue. Bats serve perfectly as old brushes mast. Conceded without glue on a roll of sewing thread finish that was just perfect. And to avoid pasting, you can keep the boat more easily. The gates are also made using strips of wood, together with two cross timbers.
For these projects, painting selling oriental nearest supplier usually sufficient. I used it with a pot of chocolate brown acrylic Abacus Cooperative gave me a tone paneling.
As well dry paint layer, we can paint other items ... you can see different runways, docks and platforms mounted from the same cloth strips of wood, and a barge in the same way on the boat, and can be directed from 1 to 6 crew, an ideal number for the PCs! With the materials that I had looked for that and other boat ... the fleet begins to take
