I have the Master Box German and U.S. Paratroopers figures set that comes with 2 bathing women. i decide that the two women are going to be bathing in a sheltered area of a small lake. They needed a small boat to get them there. Enter the old 1/150 scale Heller Corsair ship kit (aka La Tartane) which I bought a long time ago to use as a rowboat or sailboat.
Here's the boxart of the Corsair.
Here are the contents of the kit.
I assembled the deck and then cut down the hull sides.
That female figure is a modified Tamiya U.S. Vietnam mortar kit figure.
Next I cut out an area for a cockpit and added some thin Evergreen Plastic strips to represent ribs.
I then framed the opening of the cockpit with Evergreen Plastic strips.
Here it is with the deck dry-fitted into the hull.
Next I added a section where the mast goes through the deck.
Here's the boat with the deck again dry-fitted to the hull and with the mast temporarily in place..
A bit closer with a view from a lower angle.
Thanks for looking. Comments welcomed.
Cheers
