British India vessel “Chindwara” Scratchbuilt

The paddle steamer is the old Billings kit of the “Hjejlen” (which I believe means golden plover) which is still operating in Denmark as a day excursion vessel. The hull was built 28 odd years ago and I finished her recently by discarding the upperworks and remaining kit materials and scratchbuilding a new upperworks and paddles. (I am never going to make paddles again!)

San Juan Nepomucino Artesania Latina . She is about 80% complete with the bulk of work remaining being rigging
