winans' gunboat
 

here are some pics of my interpretation of the 1860s ross winans 500 ton gunboat proposal for the russian navy.

free download (renova) scaled down to 1/250, modified armament using the muzzle loader from paper shipwright's hms staunch. some tamya acrylics, rigging made from stretched sprue.

I've built this one as well and it's a great model and well designed. But your work on it is fantastic! I'm amazed at the quality of your work in this small scale!
Well done!

Superb! A wonderful example of the paper modelers art.

That looks outstanding!

OMG...that's just about enough to make me throw away my Fiscar's and take up needlepoint! Terrific job.

I agree, excellent build, very clean.

Beautifully executed. What is its actual measurement in 1/250 scale?

Wow! I REALLY like that! Very nicely done. I may have to attempt one myself someday.

:eek: That cannon is unbelievable...or is that a massively upscaled card model of a Euro cent?

Great build. I have looked @ this vessel many times, but you seemed to really capture the look. Look forward to seeing more of you work. The gun was just awesome.:eek:Rick
