hi guys,
my Battleship build from around 7/8 years ago now......1:200 scale [4ft]

it is taken from a polish card model book that I used as templates as I could not find plans at a reasonable price..........
hull ribs/frames are light ply the deck is stip wood cut into individual planks, the rest is card,pen refills etc.
thought I would share this my first card build...........2 years to complete.
sorry about the pic quality.....hiding under a cling-film cover until I can get some perspex...........
then it might even come out of the cupboard

regards
don

Looks a good model - even through the cellophane.

Is it a Halinski kit?

Hi people.
It's from the kit by GMP of Poland,,,,,,still have the kit, I was just after plans and that was the cheapest way to get them

the model is scratch built with revolving turrets,elevating rifles,swiveling cranes with lower-able jibs etc.
the intention was to electrify it but that never happened in the end.

and yes it looks terrable under the 'clear'

covering.
