Thought you might like it Brian and Michael

It is a beautiful piece, I'm not sure who sculpted it but as it is around 24-30 inches long and will fit in one of my display cabinet I have one on order

The RRP should be around the £800-£1000 mark and will come with two figures to man the wheel house, there will be additional figures to purchase as they are released

Cheers

Wow, that's awesome. It looks like a lot of different companies are coming out with these types of boats.

How do you think it compares to a LL one Martyn?

Thanks Jeff and Donnie.

I'm not sure of the name, but it does have a close resemblance to the "Bordein", the name will be confirmed when the set is released.

Sorry you couldn't make it Jeff, there were a lot of people missing including a few dealers

Hi Brad, they are both great boats and I would have them both in a heart beat but I have to pick Britains because of the size, it will fit in the space I have available. The other reason would be it has that lived in look and I already have a very clean paddle Steamer

Martyn,

So am I but thanks again for the photos. This looks very similar to the one in the film Khartoum.

Jeff

Btw, do you know the poxy trains are still not working.

Believe it or not Jeff the only snow on the road to the Show was within 1/4 mile of my house, after that, nothing, all major routes where clear of snow and ice

Thank you very much for taking all of these great photos of a fabulous looking gun boat Martyn. Although I keep trying to discipline myself to just ACW, this particular model may have to be added to my collection. I wonder what this would look like steaming up the Potomac River manned by a crew of stalwart Confederates?

Martyn, thank you so much for posting these photos.
Well I hope I am not annoying everybody with my usual critique...
This gun boat is realistically looking and I bet that the sculptor watched at least a part of "Khartoum" movie... The wooden shields are done correctly...
However it's way too short, the smokestack is to short as well , the captain booth is not correct etc. The price is also quite steep...
I think I will be better off building my own "anatomically correct" gun boat next year starting February...( I realized that it's not an option for everybody

It would look great Mike, mine may take a trip up the Thukela

Last night at the Britains event I had a nice long chat with the sculptor, Allan Colclough (he did the Rorke's Drift storehouse, the Durbar building, and the Civil war farmhouse). It's a fabulous piece! The rust on it looks perfect.

Amazingly, the model is made mainly of foam. It doesn't weigh all that much. They are still working out some production details before we see a finished product.

Hi Peter, great meeting you today and thanks for the pin.

Hi Joe

Not sure if there is anything new there though
