Hello guys, we've put up the 28mm version of the skiff up in the webstore. Cost is $20 USD each for the metal and resin kit, we're also trying assembled and primer coated versions for $25 USD each.

Oooh nice. How wide is the deck? Would it take two 28mm figures side by side on slotta bases?

Ok I've just ordered two

Thanks for the support guys. We're hoping this goes well as I'd like to produce alot more flyers and figures in this vein.

General Montcalm, I just checked it with several sized slotta bases and none of them can fit side by side. You need a base size about 15mm or 5/8s of an inch to do that.

For 25mm and 30mm bases you can fit three figures in the passenger compartment with one standing on the lockers in back. With 20mm bases you can fit four guys with the last one's base right at the edge.

From our preview blogpost: "Body dimensions are 185mm spar to end of railings and 50mm wide. Passenger compartment is 80mm by 35mm."

If I see these at Historicon, I will buy, otherwise will get when I return via mail. Great Flyers for HOTT John Carter army. Maybe Airboat, with flying martians as simple Flyers. One man skiff = 15mm, this can be flyer, and the big guy be an AirBoat.

I can tell you now, these aren't going to be at Historicon. :)
