A great model and how to make it here on the grand old Major General's Website:

Yes I read the Maj. Generals article many years ago (when the words wargaming & miniatures were not banned by The Museum Service Intranet)) & it stayed on the backburner until now

Weird, I am just in the process of turning one of those hulls into a small brigantine for 1690s games. Didn't realise where it was from (bootsale find) even though I have a box of the Pressman ships in the loft untouched!

I also had the boat hanging around for a decade or so! If you take a look at my pics on the ECWvillagethread you will see a river boat that may fit your project

I have a couple of those sets collecting dust in my basement. One of the many projects waiting to get done.
