What do you think about these Vietnam River boats?
They look "ancient" enough to me, especially with eyes painted on!

...I quite like the smaller boat from the same firm.

Am loving that model...

[nervisfr]

Many thanks! Now I've found even more pics. Breathtaking!

very interesting but that's modelling business....It's difficult for us (wargamers) to be so efficient in the details.
So many things to do in so little time....

[rumacara]

Hello Eric

Yup so many things and so few time.

One of my mad ideas is to buid an harbour for pirates but once more i also got the stupid idea to build it for other periods so i´ve started and as many projects its on the shelves gaining dust and waiting for better days to finish it.
When i have time i will post it (not mutch to see but maybe it gives some ideas).

Cheers

Hello all

This post would not be nothing without a crew for a boat.
So here is mine so far. I just choosed some of the figures of my gang suitable for a crew.

Hope this gives ideas for you all to start your own crews. 

Cheers
