Suitable small steamer for DA?
« on: 02 March 2012, 11:24:46 AM »
Says it all really.

I'll be wanting a small steamer to crawl along the river and allow Natives to throw sharp pointy things at.

Suggestions for models please gentlemen?

Thanks, James

Another vote for John Jenkins, although i'd be looking at the river Launch, and i'll have to get the guy with the gin and tonic to go with it, priceless!



Saying that though, the price and models by pmcgames are excellent.

You can see a photo of this on this AAR. Scroll down to the 8th photo. (In this case the roof has been removed)

Its a ncie boat and quite reasonably priced.
