Colonial Watery Capers

Latest off the workbench for my Colonial project is this steam launch which I have slightly modified from a kit by Sarissa.
I'm calling her "Sandpiper"  (some readers may get the significance of the name!). I might replace the forward mast with a gun of some sort...



In the background, the 18th century Prussian infantry regiment (IR5 - Alt Braunschweig), newly arrived from Dave Jarvis, awaits basing...

  5. Figures look great, even better when based.

    The boat is fabulous, would good with a gun and a few sand bags, look forward to seeing more.

  6. Great figures and model, Phil. I had wondered how the Sarissa kits would come together & paint up...it looks great. What paints do you use on the mdf kits? Cheers, Rohan.

  7. Thanks for all the comments. Appreciated.
    Rohan - I just used the Games Workshop acrylics, and some foundry acrylics. Seemed to go on OK.
