As a temporary break from the Imai Santa Maria, I picked up the 1/72 Zvezda "Medieval Lifeboat". While it apparently is not medieval, it is a wonderful little model, fitting for an 18th or 19th century ships boat, 18' in length.
That said, does anyone hae any info on small armed ship's boats of that same period? The model can easily be converted into a 24' boat in 1/96, so there is a little latitude to work with.
