there is a casting site that make 1:32 wwii Vietnam boat...

i inquired about having them cast a 1:18 scale.

here is the reply

"The cost to Produce the two riverine boat in 1/18th scale is $10,000.00 each"

i was thinking if enough people would be interested we could bring the cost down to $400 25 guys

Heck at those prices I can do it for $400 each with out the $10,000 mark.

The LCM 6 would be 37.46 inches long 9.3 inches wide

The LCM 8 would be 49.13 inches long and 14 inches wide.

Picklehaube or Grunt - Care to try your hand at making these craft?

What about a Vietnam PBR?

[aferguson]

a monitor might interest me. They were 60 feet long, 17 feet wide and carried either guns or flame throwers. Program 5 zippo monitors would be the simplest. They lacked many of the guns and cage armour that the others had.


"The Vietnam Monitors were divided into two programs; program 4 would consist of the 40mm gun Monitors, while the later program 5 would entail the eight Monitor (H) Howitzer versions, and the six Monitor (F) Flamethrower models.[5] All of the Monitors were converted from WWII 56' long all steel Landing Craft Mechanized (LCMs) Mk 6's.[6] When completed, they were 60' long, 17' wide, with a draft of 3 1/2', had two screws driven by two Gray marine model 64NH9 diesel engines, could do 8.5 knots and were manned by usually 11 or more crewmen.[7] The fielded Monitors normally averaged about ten tons of armor on them."


So that's 40 inches by 11.4 inches in 1/18.
