Decided to augment my Soviet WW2 naval forces by constructing a river craft. Variously described as a river gunboat, or a landing craft, it will make an interesting piece in any amphibious scenario. For gaming purposes it will have a crew of six.

They look relatively easy to make and you have produced some excellent models.
ReplyDeleteHi Q, it took about four hours over three days to construct and paint. Cost wise, about 50p.

Outstanding job Michael! Your modelling skills are top-notch! It matches your reference pictures to a "T"!! This will be an excellent addition to your games!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brad, I think it was a worthwhile project, now working on some more naval vessels for various games.

As Brad said, fantastic model MGB. An interesting set of photos also.
ReplyDeleteThank you MJT. When working on a budget while wanting more toys, you devise other systems, lol.

like it!
ReplyDeleteCheers Tim, it's always nice to turn scrap into something useful!

Love the gunboats, they remind me of the ones John Ruddle used in his garden wargames.
ReplyDeleteBrian, that name rang a bell, I remember seeing photos of concrete buildings and docked naval vessels. You instantly took me back to the 1970s, although I think Ruddle's garden display pre-dated that. Lovely stuff, it's why I crossed over from wargame figures to gaming with toy soldiers. Although collections overlap, there remains a difference, in several ways.
