I have two 'river gunboats' whose origin is a mystery to me. Can anyone help identifying them? link |

No idea, sorry. What a lovely little model tho! |

I'm thinking Irregular miniatures at first glance. Will have a look at their listings…. |

Darn, can't find a photo to check against, but I am thinking it might be Irregular's GWV31 WWI gunboat – only reservation is the listing for that says it has crew figures too. |

Thanks Dom It may be that some of the 'blobs' on the fittings may turn out to be crew members. Once I paint them it may become clearer. |

Ha – looking again, there are definitely a couple of crew on the bridge of yours, and you're probably right about the blobs – Irregular are the manufacturer for whom the phrase "it paints up far better than the bare casting looks" was coined…. ;-) So yeah, I'm pretty sure it is. |

As others have said, there's definitely something "Irregular" about that model. It looks like it could paint up to be an attractive little boat. |
