Nile River Gunboat Diorama with Trophy Figures (1 Viewer)

[kilted vampire]

I need to quit screwing around and finish my boat. Nice boat I am envious.

Hey Guys,
I bought my small Trophy Nile Gunboat in the late 1980s and all the figures came with white bases. Perhaps Len and the gang at Trophy were inconsistent about the boat figure bases.

What a beautiful ship! All I can claim to own is a Hicks Atwell one, though I do get to enjoy temporary ownership of Hans Hedrich's fleet till he retrieves them

Very nice Lawrence

There's an old saying, "you wait ages for a bus, then three come along at once" I think the same will soon be the case for Nile Paddle Steamer/Gun boats.

Cheers

Wow! What a neat display. The Hicks Atwell gun boat looks great.

Marptn,

I sure hope you are right. I'll take one. Do you know something that we don't?

Thanks Martyn. Are you going to upstage me again and have a convoy of three Paddle Steamers?

I have heard a rumor that Little Legion may be weighing in soon with a large Paddle Steamer.

Mike,
Thanks for the kind words. Your displays are nothing to sneeze at either! By the way, I get first dibs on the boat - right Martyn!

FYI: Although this Nile River Gun Boat is not on display there, I have opened a new thread under "dioramas" which has photos from Bob Walker's open house last week end in San Jose, California.

 

[ucla1967]

I have made reference to Gary Fournier's Nile River Gun Boat on two new threads under "Gereral Diorama Accessories Product Discusion," so I thought I would bump up this old thread so Forum members who want to see it, can find it more easily.

 

[ucla1967]

I made reference today to this thread that I opened five years ago in a new thread under "General Toy Soldier Discussion" which features Gary's Civil War Union Gun Boat.

Excellent Martyn, that is a beauty! Now that Mike (LL) isn't offering any more river boats for the foreseeable future might have to reconsider ordering one from BTSC. Did Patrick supply the cannon mounted at the bow or is that Trophy?
