Very nice boats and a nice setting to drop them in.

Nice, but like all Grand Manner stuff, FAR too expensive. :'(

Nice! Love the boats.

Hopefully they won't be limited editions and so will still be around when Santa visits in 6 months time!

Saw them at Partizan last week.
They look even better on the table than on the photo.

Now the problem is choice - 6 variants of rear paddle steamer, 6 variants of side paddle, and 6 variants of screw steamer.

Due for release on a week or so, prices £50 - £80 apiece. I thought they were splendid, and not a bad price for resin.

Any options for the side 'panelling'?

It would be great to have the option of adding fortified/armoured panelling.

I think I'll give Dave a ring today and see what's what.

I'll report back.

Ooh! - and we were only talking about "things Sudanese" at our last game. I can see us having a go soon with things like this to inspire us.
