Who makes 28mm steam ships?

[Arteis]

I've found a Chinese toy paddle-steamer that I intend to convert into a colonial New Zealand Wars armed gunboat.  It's the wrong scale as is, but by changing the wheel-house into a larger one more suited to 28mm figures, the result should be a small paddle-steamer, similar to HMCS Avon.

Here are a few of the pics from my blog - more info here: https://arteis.wordpress.com/2018/01/13/converting-a-toy-paddle-steamer-into-a-colonial-gunboat/

Arteis,
As Rob's question has morphed into an interesting look at other peoples solutions rather than just a look hear series of answers.
I don't want to highjack it with a Q&A run of posts.
It's an interesting idea. In all honesty I'd like to see you write a thread on the forum.
As l imagine that white section on the hull will be a god send when(if) you waterline the hull.
Plus I'm intrigued to see how you tackle the superstructure

Mark.

I can't find them on their website...are they still in production?

Also I found this waterwheel which might  be useful for scratch builders?

Bought 2 of those water wheels from Blotz at the Reading show, and was planning on using them on a scratch build.

They make it hard to find them on the site ( luckily I had it bookmarked.)
