Hi,

As my promise to jeff-herne who kindly reply my posting on the FAQ a few
month ago, here is my first ship model (I'm a figure modeller) "ZhongShan"
Gunboat (1910 - 1938) to post onto your gallery.

This is a 1:180 scale plastic kit from "ZhengDeFu". I've replaced the bridge
with a scratch build one. Scratch build the lookout and all incline ladders
with plastic card and putty. Scratch build all vertical ladder, railing and
the stack grills with wire (guitar string). Replaced all gun barrels with
plastic rode and add anchor chain.

I really enjoy and gain lots of experience in ship modelling with this
project, which took about 5 months to complete. Please feel free to give me
some comment :)
