Excellent blog. Going to get some MDF and foam board and have ago at it myself. Also going to order some guns from HLBS, so if you want some, let know. Might go with the earlier idea and get a couple of the 'bare' MTB's from Dave and customize. | |

Sounds good. I might get some bits from Tiger Miniatures too, I quite like their sailors.

Model of an 'ANT' Class Gunboat. Shows how simple they can be.

Good ambition ! I'll try and help along, not sure I can be asked with the planks though, might be nice shiny flat decks for me, who knows though. | |

More the spirit of the game than the models for me (simple is good in my book...) | |

As normal for us, Minimi - who do the Clyde Puffer - have stopped taking orders for the foreseeable. Issues with casting and delivery times. They expect to be back to normal at some time. | |

A nice looking game at Salute with some fun boats. (Indo-Cina ~1900 IIRC.)
