TOPIC: Floating Gun Battery and Gun Boat for Duna 1701 (GNW) |
Standard User Posts: 162 Stenbock 20th Nov 2017 01:32:43 Did some quick props for an upcoming re-fight of the Crossing of the Duna in 1701. I think they are good enough for a game! Hope it is of some interest. More here. All the best |
Floating Gun Battery and Gun Boat for Duna 1701 (GNW) dourpuritan 21st Nov 2017 08:25:25 That really is very impressive. A little goes a long way |
Standard User Posts: 182 rsjahn 22nd Nov 2017 08:23:37 I really like the gunboat! I'm toying with the idea to make an austrian river gunboat (Tschaika). The boat is not the problem, but where to get the oarsmen? |
Standard User Posts: 162 Stenbock 23rd Nov 2017 08:56:04 Thanks for the nice comments, Oarsmen - I am reflecting on the same issue, as I also need some smaller rowing boats for the assault party. I have some ideas, I will post more on a future blog. |

Standard User Posts: 182 rsjahn 23rd Nov 2017 11:14:28 Rod Langton has some napoleonic ships in 1/300, and there are oarsmen mentioned in the descriptions. Maybe british uniforms, but there are no pictures. http://www.rodlangton.com/napoleonic/frame.htm |

Standard User Posts: 162 Stenbock 24th Nov 2017 12:45:16 Andros, I appreciate the Italian endorsement! molto grato! As for more boat options, I have ordered 4 of the smallest Rob Langton boats, the Irregular Sailing and rowing boat, as well as the smallest viking boat from heroics and ros (under dark ages) - all for research purpose of course. But more on this later...

Standard User Posts: 182 rsjahn 24th Nov 2017 03:18:09 Hi Per, great, I'm very curious! Especially about the langton boats and the oarsmen. I have started building one of his 1/300 boats, a greek trireme. The figures are very simple, so no baccus-standard, but the ship looks very good. |
Standard User Posts: 162 Stenbock 24th Nov 2017 04:30:12 I will let you know, how do the figure scale in the ones you have seen compare to Baccus? Are they similar, or as I suspect smaller? |
