elmarriachi Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 British armed paddle steamer of World War I - the "HMS ASCOT". A multimedia-kit by Polish manufacturer AJM Models. The kit is consisting of: - 2-piece hull (possibility to show it as "waterline"). - Several resin parts for all the super structure and further details of the ship. - Photo etched parts for all the small details, for the railings, for the paddle wheel - turned brass parts for the two masts - brass wire in several sizes - decal sheet for the markings and flags - plastic sheet - a fantastic mounting instruction I have painted the kit with colors by Lifecolor and weahered it with some oil-color washings. The rigging is made with EZ-Line. I hope you like the little ship (it is about 20cm long) ... Cheers Michael 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingyer Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Nice I always liked these boats as they are unusual I had these pictures of the builders model in the glasgow transport museum It's either 1:48 or 1:64 scale I'm sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
