How about a nice river boat so I can provide my gamblers an alternative to land based card-flict? Pretty please. Doesn't need to be skirmish capable, just a nice river boat – and a stern wheeler for sure. For an example google: The Delta King (a restored boat moored along the Sacramento river front) |

Why wait? auction It's too small for 28mm, is barely big enough for "true 25mm" Ral Partha (closer to 22mm). So it should be nice and roomy for 15mm. When I'm campaigning in Canada, it's the Chippewa Queen. When in the Sudan, she is the Nubian Princess. What you do with yours along the Mississippi is none of my business. You can also motorize it. . Barely. |

Ah, Lindberg--"Every Model a Different Scale". |

Hafen Lol. Do they vary that much? Dan |
Winston Smith | 17 Nov 2017 4:15 a.m. PST |
No. They all fit in the same box. |

link Old Glory has a nice "stern wheel steamer used on the Missouri River. It can also be used as a stern wheel steamer in the Sudan." I believed it is listed under their colonial section. |

That's what I call responsive to a customer's needs. |
Hafen von Schlockenberg | 17 Nov 2017 6:48 a.m. PST |
CC--No,not within copies of the same model! And I exaggerate. But my youthful experience of various kits made it seem that each new model was a completely different scale from the last. I wonder what happened to that boxfull of little motors. . . |

Plastic too fragile for my games – but thanks for the suggestion. And, yes, Blue Moon have some options which I've looked at but concluded not quite what I'm hoping for. Here is a link to the Delta King: link Thus my request. |

That,in 15mm,would take up your whole table. |
Winston Smith | 17 Nov 2017 9:26 a.m. PST |
My plastic model has lasted 30 years of gaming without any repairs needed. Still, you know your gaming group best. |
Winston Smith | 17 Nov 2017 9:30 a.m. PST |
That, in 15mm,would take up your whole table. Well, again we have the eternal scale conundrum. Is it a gaming piece or a terrain piece? If "both", then nit pickers will have "issues". |

@Early morning writer Send me a sketch and some dimensions, I could cut foam and send you a kit (far lighter than resin, less fragile and free) |
Rogues1 | 17 Nov 2017 11:39 a.m. PST |
Anton's work is amazing. He sent me a pirate ship out of foam that is more detailed than most of the resin ones. Thanks again Anton, I did a large donation to the USO to thank you. |

I would like 15mm bateaux and flat boats for riparian pursuits circa 1754 – 1830 or so. |

Anton, That is an extraordinary offer – are you willing to post your contact information? I'd love to discuss your offer though I'm not sure I'd accept the kit as free, at the very least I'd want to offset your costs and postage. Perhaps I have something that might be of value to you – though all of my gaming related items are in the 15/18 mm world. I've been considering parting with my Viking era related collection – figures, buildings, and watercraft. Whatever transpires, your offer is greatly appreciated and I thank you for making it. |
