I'm putting together my ghost-ship themed army (using VC rules but not VC fluff). My corpse cart is going to be a sort of life-raft, but we'll call it a "death raft."
I have tons of bits after a failed wooden model ship attempt. I'm using the cherry planks left over from the boat's finish planking and gluing them onto the rib-cage of the corpse cart. My goal isn't to make it look exactly like a life raft, but to make it an anchor of the nautical theme. I have linen sails left over from my wood model ship kit and I've soaked them in a filthy wash in preparation for being used as banners. I'm going to rig one to this conversion along with a jury-rigged stump of a mast, fore-stay and shrouds. Currently the cart is primed black, the wood painted, and the "transom" attached using cherry planking an a dab of green stuff.
