28mm Pulp Tramp Steamer Project Finished !
Ladies & Gentlemen
It gives me great pleasure to announce that the Steamer Katie Jane has finally left the dockyards !
Believe it or not I havent worked on this project since February of this year and everytime I enter the shed the dear old boat stares at me wanting its finishing touches.
So once the working week was done I decided to get this done - afterall the boat is integral to my dockside build and the game I am planning for BLAM in October.
The start of this project can be found here...
from the beginning
and is a shot of progress made in February

I have then added some masts - just simple dowel rods
