Shipshape & Bristol Fashion

I mentioned in a previous post that I'd bought a boat whilst at the Partizan show.

I have now built and painted said boat.

It's a simple thing from Coritani Magnetic Displays (in their Trevor Howard range) and it wasn't very expensive.

The boat came with a mast and a few resin bits to add feature to the deck: a mast stand, an anchor and chains and a stowed sail.

The sculpt is fairly rough, but given the price and the fact that this is likely a weather-beaten fishing vessel, I think it's fine.

Painting was simple. Contrast paints with a fair amount of dry brushing and washing did the trick.

I'm not too bothered about the fact it doesn't have a sail as it's primary use will be as a docked vessel in games of Carnevale, and I think it's going to work excellently just as terrain.

However, it's so generic that it will work on a whole variety of settings, so I suspect it will get plenty of table time in the coming years.
