I was giving up on being able to get the torpedo boats a heavier class of ship to support the beach assault. I had wanted to make a larger gunboat in the same fashion as the torpedo boats but time is running out. I had a bit of inspiration last night while waiting for some washes to dry and put this together:
This will be
Erda an ironclad gunboat for the Prussian fleet.
The gun turrets are bases from the Steamboy toys. The wheel house is mostly parts for the Wild, Wild West Derailleur toy for the movie.
Unfortunately riveting her will have to wait until after the convention.
