Manufacturer: Trading post - do it yourself - Keelboat - Sarrissa
Scale: 28mm
Hi,
again it has been a long time since my last post on this blog. To be honest I published several posts on facebook because it is much easier, less time consuming and also much faster.
But I also thought that I should give my blog a kind of revival. So I will try to do also some posts again here on this platform.
Today I am posting some pictures of my last work for my collection of FrenchIndianWar.
The idea was to build a small trading post for fur trades between Canadians and Indians and this idea came up after I had painted up some Courier de Bois for my favourite rule system "Muskets and Tomahawks".
After having build the loghouse I remembered that I had bought a keelboat from Sarrissa a few years ago. This model is quite nice, but im my opinion there is missing the typical structure of wood. So I decided to modify this model and give it a kind of look that would fit better to my collections´ style.
So here is the result. I am sure both models will be very cool terrain pieces for several scenarios in gaming. :)
Both models still need to be painted, but this will be a matter for a further post.
Cheers
Mike

| The first visible construction of the trading post. |
 |
| I love my buildings to be able for playing inside them... |
 |
| ...and to have functional doors. |
 |
| The modified structure of the house after I had decided to give a flat roof to the building. |
 |
| Building the roof itself. |
-
 |
| A very time consuming work. |
 |
| The result after minimum five hours of constructing. |

The roof on its place.

| After some planks added. |
 |
| And again - I like my models playable inside... |
 |
| ...and with movable doors. |

| And finally some pictures of setting the models into scene. |
