When I was uptown this morning I picked up the wargames magazine with Arthur’s article in it with Congreve rocket rules for use with the Portable Napoleonic Wargame. As you know l am a big fan of the PNW and was keen to add the new rules to my solo games. On my return l looked out the Minifigs rocket set from the “To do” pile. It had been a present from my daughters a while back. I decided to go with the spare crew l had already painted rather than using the ones from the set. I will use the crew for another project. As well as the Minifigs rocket I made a second out of scraps- pins, an old railway ticket, a cocktail stick and glue. You can see both with glue drying in the pictures below. I was rather pleased with my scratch building and look forward to trying them out in a game over the next few days...
Tradgardmastare,
ReplyDeleteArthur’s rules area great addition to the PNW rules, and I am sure they will be copied and used by a lot of players.
You’ve made a very nice couple of rocket troughs and crews, and I look forward to seeing them in action.
All the best,
Bob
Thanks Bob! One company will be commanded by Captain Brocks the other by Captain Standard.
DeleteExcellent job Alan! They really look great and will add some variety to your games!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words.
DeleteGood to see some successful Scratch Modelling - well done Alan.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed it. Fiddly work but I am pleased what one can produce from scrap.
DeleteNicely done! Hopefully the rockets will fly true.
ReplyDeleteThe proof of the rocket is in the flying as they say.
DeleteVery creative and convincing scratch work.
ReplyDeleteThank you, it was fun and looks the part l think.
