What was the total cost of your riverine force? I`d really like to know. I started out with 2 ATCHs and four PBRs but lost them during a move. Looking at your units I`m thinking of starting again. I just went to Minneapolis last weekend and wanted to get to GHQ and time was to short. Next time I`m there I`ll get to GHQ and buy some of them there.

Absolutely fantastic vessels! WOW!!! Love the barracks ship! I had a friend (no longer with us), who was a PIBBER driver near Can Tho in '68. Your work made me think of him. He would have appreciated your efforts. Keep up the great work. Hope to see more of it.

Hi !

I'm "pibber"(Pz Pat), the creator of the mobile riverine forces figurines in photos post by my friend "kampfgruppe".
Because we are very passionate by the Vietnam riverine war in the Mekong Delta, we decided to create few of the most important river support ships see in action during the US forces operations.
Playing riverine boats (only GHQ boats of course !) is very pleasant, but we think it's more pleasant to play with riverine support ships and various barges !

The thirst "big" creation is an APL with helipad (APL-18 or APL-30) made in sheet plastic styrene and wire copper. The second creation would be a LST (LST-821, USS Harnett county) to play Game Warden operation (with PBR and Helico Assault Light-3)

The cost of the Riv. Div. 112 is about 432 $

.
The cost of the 1097th medium boat company (LCM-8) is about 180$.

I project to constitute the Riv. Div. 111 to have the entire River Assault Squadron 11

.

We post more photos later. Be patient, because make big ships in scratchbuild take a lot of time (....and money !

)
