Hi I have just painted the new Redoubt FIW barge with British Grenadiers, it was a well detailed model, and lovely wood work on the barge, and the figures were crisp I must admit I made the classic mistake though and put the rowers facing forwards, so had to take them out do a touch up and put them the right way around – Doh!!!! please have a look here picture and here
picture Many Thanks

You did a fantastic paint job on that. I just wish someone here in the states carried the Redoubt range. |

Hey, that is nice! Nice models, nice paint job. I have seen the museum model of the fully loaded barge, and always thought that someone chouls make it commercially. |

Tremendous paintjob on a very nice and useful model! Now, some of the museum models picture have a swivel gun at the prow: too bad Redoubt did not (does not as yet?) offer it, at least as an option – they provide this option for their 'ranger whaleboat' link
The conversion is probably not *that* difficult (despite the disappearance of the London War Room I suppose swivel guns are available selsewhere?), through the continuous planking there would complicate it: an 'empty cell' for the gunner would be convenient. As would be a gunner mini, of course. Which leads to the other limitation of this little jewel: it depicts Wolfe's 'Quebec' landing barge, with passengers in the precise -and rather identifiable- corresponding uniforms. Redoubts offers an alternative with 'infantry' in tricorns link already more 'generic' but certainly still 'British'. 'Generic' infantrymen TMP link having (ideally complemented by sprues of '18th C. heads' with various headgears) to receive their 'nationality' by paintjob would allow to easily use this model in a wider diversity of contexts… "River/coastal craft and barges" thread: TMP link |

Wow, that is really a nice model and a nice paint job. I could use a few of those myself. |
