Be careful the "Clermont" is 1/90e !

And don't forget the 1/64e B17

Yep!!  Thanks for the scale reference.

My take is she is a hull, to be converted or adapted.

Clermont was 150' long with a 16' beam, that's 20" x 2.1" in 1/90, IF they did their job...

That makes her a 28mm 90 footer, 1/54-1/55ish, with just under a 10' beam, quite a respectable size for gaming.



Think 2 25mm bases side by side, 10 deep, minus the deck detritus, 12-15 figures, or more.

Personally I'll likely ditch the paddle wheels, and strip her of most everything but the boiler, & go from there.



Avoid adding, or just change anything that clearly indicates person size, doors, ladders, some windows, etc you're good to go a'venturing!!
