Blotz Jolly Boat

 The Blotz Jolly Boat is an laser cut MDF model of a Jolly Boat, a type of small boat often used to ferry crews and passengers between ships or to shore.

The kit comprises two small panels.

Three layers on top of a base plate comprise the hull, here stacked one on top of each other.
The boat will take nine figures based on 25mm diameter bases.
This is the assembled model.

The model was undercoated with Halfors grey spray primer. The visible surface was then sprayed with Army Painter Leather brown. The deck was painted with Vallejo Old Wood and the keel, inner frames, tiller and rudder with Army Painter Oak Brown.  
The rowlocks were painted with Vallejo Black. The whole boat was dry brushed with Citadel Terminatus Stone. The boat was washed with Citadel Seraphim Shade.


For Carlos

As is shown here, the boat will only take nine figures, which is a bit unfortunate as it will not officially take a two ranks for Oathmark.
