Hey there, I don't know, if this is the correct board for my question, but I haven't found something more suitable among the forums. Is there someone among you who can point me in the direction of deck plans/battle maps/tiles for a mid-size Chinese junk? I need it for a scenario set during the 1850's/60's, so everything "ancient" would be perfect. Help me, cardboard-warriors, you're my only hope... Many thanks in advance!

Thanks for the hints, wyvern, I had already found those pics myself. I was just thinking that there might be a gamer out there already in possession of plans or tiles for this kind of boat... I guess, when I find the time, I'll end up making those tiles myself. I might not be able to draw minis, but I sure know my way around floor plans and maps...

There was a Pathfinder society module that involved ships of an oriental style and included deck maps of a few. They were "game accurate" rather than actually accurate but it doesn't sound like that would be a huge problem for you.

Not full-size Junk, but Mayhem in Paper has three different paper-modeled sampan sets for sale on RPGNow: www.rpgnow.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=4300Helpful for flavour, if nothing else

Thanks for the plug. Hehe, I'm new enough to the hobby that I didn't associate your handle with your brand... until I took a look at the product's sidebar minutes after mentioning it. I'd remembered it because I'd love to build a sampan someday... when I can come up with an excuse excellent reason to purchase it. Maybe for my Dad's birthday in August; he has an antique model of a Chinese Junk, a family heirloom dating back to his mother's childhood in Hong Kong. Her father (or grandfather, it's been a while since I heard the story) was instrumental in designing the Hong Kong docks, back in the British Colonial days over a century ago. That junk definitely inspired my lifelong love of minis - only very recently of the paper variety

Pardon the interruption, but someone should say "Welcome to the board, Anne." I guess I just did, so now back to the thread in progress.

When is your dad's birthday, if you don't mind me asking? August the 27th. He's an amazing man, and certainly inherited the technical gift of his engineering ancestry, but applies it in his personal rather than his professional life. He's a master woodworker, skilled amateur repairman/plumber/electrician, geeky laser builder... but no paper models yet, to my knowledge I bought him a book with a paper model of a steam engine (his particular passion) a few years ago, and hope to finally get him building it with my older son this summer.

Thank you very much cowboyleland, squirmy dad, & spaceranger42 for welcoming to this wonderful forum! Sorry about the wait for my reply, but I'd hoped to find a place to post an introduction and thank you there, but I couldn't find such a thread or sub forum. So my hearty apologies to shep for hijacking his post instead ;D
