anyone please that could suggest anyone making suitable but cheap plastic canoes useable for 28mm FIW games – I had some 1/32 when I was a child (of the Cowboys and Indians type) and they would from memory probably have done for the large 28s of today – i know there are co.s making metal and resin ones but just looking for any possibly cheaper options |

I bought loads of plastic ones from Dollar store bagged cowboy and Indian sets. At a $1 USD ea.,it is hard to get much cheaper. The majority of those available are knock offs of Britains Deetail models. They work perfectly with my 28mm figs. |

Margard, thanks for the link. Wish we had Dollar Stores here on Oz. Searched Canadian Dollarama stores when I visited Ontario last year but no luck. |

No Dollar store…go to Michael's. They have a whole set of Cowboys and Indians, and one of them is just the canoes w/paddles. I use them for my "Great Canoe Race", game Good luck! P. |

Yup, I bought several, not sure if two comes in a pack, but I ended up with quite a few. I converted some into "crashed" canoes, ect. Here's a few pics from one of my games:
All figures are from the OG25 F&IW line. P. |

not sure in UK if such great bargains are available as in the US – the Timpo ones on Ebay would work out pricier than buying them in metal/resin!
auction 250 AUD = £168.00 GBP plus P&P! |

Best resin canoes in the UK are probably the ones in the Redoubt F&IW range. Not sure if you can buy them separate from the figure packs they feature in, but Redoubt tend to be very accommodating, so worth asking them. |

Yes Redoubt will if asked |
