Does anybody do gunboats in this scale?Something the French would have on the Niger River for example.

I had one of his boats at one time but it would be too big I believe.His 28mm's are large and says his boats are 1/48 and I'm looking for 1/72.
Thank you anyway.

Marco, I strongly suggest you contact Dan Gurule, owner/operator of the "Last Stand Boatyard." He's a colonial gamer active here on TMP who builds a variety of gunboats in 28mm and also 15mm, and also takes custom orders, so he may be able to build something just for you in 1/72nd scale, which is in between. He's a great guy and a very reliable person to do business with. He's a friend of mine, but I wouldn't recommend him or his boats if they weren't awesome. Here's a link to his catalogue page: laststanddan.com/shop …and also a direct link to his blog: laststanddan.blogspot.com …and finally here's just a few pics of his homemade gunboats:
