I have been working on this gunboat model. I bought the plans from Model Expo. They are pretty good. The plans are printed for 1/24, so I have been multiplying by 1.33. I just wanted it a little bigger. The hull is now 3 feet long. I have done all outboard spiling and have just done a primer guide coat below the waterline. The figures are period correct (1776) and in scale and 3d printed.
The boat looks decent - nothing like some things I have seen on here. I have about 7,000 hours in it; about another 13,000 to go.
If there is any internet whatsoever, I will post updates. I have a 1" oak dowel that I was going to put on my machine lathe today - see if I cant screw that up.
