Shipwrecks

I've been meaning to make some more wreck markers for at least the last two years.  In a shock development I finally got round to it last week.  Most of these were actually made by chopping up a pair of ships I built - quickly and badly - from balsa a number of years ago.  A quick bit of sawing, chopping and painting later and we have the array of floating wreckage in the photos!

Very effective markers. I've never really had the heart to do wreckage - not even ruined buildings - but I can see such things not only have their uses, but add something to the game's appearance as well.

Hi Tim

The last ship I saw sinking had the ship's cat perched on the bow - a black cat. I believe it was saved, too.

So, please, ship's cat on the bow - I know you can do it.

Dog is also looking forward to it..

Regards

Sinking ship markers brighten up the photos and give the remaining ships more stuff to bump into.

A drowning cat? I like it. I expect my dog will be rather keen too....

They might come in handy for the game next Friday methinks......
