Hi is there such a thing as a WW1 landing boat in 28mm? I am thinking Gallipoli here.
Thanks Mike

If you're thinking Gallipoli, then it'll be more a case of rowing boats than LCA  ;)

Lordy, what a sow! It must have been a horror to manoeuvre with al that weight in the bow.

Papershipwright do a 1/250 scale x-lighter http://www.papershipwright.co.uk/x-lighter-x200/
Obviously to small for 28mm figures but you could change the scale or use it a plans to scratch build your own.
