Anyone make late 1800's/ early 1900's shore/river patrol gunboats? Im looking for them for the Russo-Japanese War but Ill take any that fit the bill.

A realistic one in 15mm?

You can get custom made gunboats here. I guess he does them in 15mm too. Or you could just use his as inspiration.

And you could check out PT Dockyard's 1/600 versions.

You could add a couple of field-gins to any steamer model to get an ad-hoc gunboat, but if you are looking for a purpose-built naval vessel I think that you will be out of luck.

If you have something specific in mind I might be able to find the time to build you one. I am finishing up my 28mm Armored Cruiser and a change to something smaller would be welcome, and my price would be more reasonable than most others would offer. If you want to take a look at my stuff go to the WW1 board and look at the posts of "28mm Scratchbuilt Armored Cruiser"
