There I was trying to assemble my Dwarf Gyrocopter, and not succeeding.. top quality superglue isn't all it's cracked up to be, damn it!! So away it went into its box, and I case my eye around for something quick and easy to complete to sate the painting appetite. My eye fell upon a small plastic galleon that I'd bought several years ago, thinking "arrr Jim lad, there be a great airboat for a Pirate 'otT army". It has sat upon a shelf resplendent in its black undercoat for at least a couple of years.
And with a couple of evenings of sporadic painting, washing and highlighting, this is what came out.
I was tempted to rig it too, but my need for instant gratification blew that idea of of the water (oopppsss.. no pun intended).
Only problem is, I don't have the pirates to go with it. No matter.. Stan.. Stan.. STAN .. get me some of them thar pirates, quick laaad!!!

Eureka Miniatures has 28mm Teddy Bear pirates if you're doing a Peter Pan/dreamscape type HoTT army with a flying pirate ship.
