Any suggestions for the Bloodboat?

Post by The Baron »

Re-reading Operation Bloodhound I'm sore tempted to make up the boat used by Ironblood in the finale.

Any ideas what I could use as a base model?

Not much that really looks like it. Why not try building it up from scratch?

Not really to the same scale, but the Thunderclap main base is a similar shape.
There is scope for mounting a cannon etc
Just need to build some decking.
I`ve got a base here, but the camera is elsewhere so here is someone elses pic/listing

I like the swing bin idea! On closer inspection it actually is a Hovercraft.

Do you have a Rolling Thunder damage body? Look it from behind, By Removing the rear well Tabs and the top Gun support piece, you have a big nice square and angle hull to start. You will need to make some heavy modifiactions to the piece especialy in front. It is not going to be huge as the one in the comics, But you have space to fit 2 driver and left the space for the hallway on the sides. Than is what i do?
