Tumbling Dice 1/2400th HMS Amethyst





This is the last of the ships for the battle of Pacocha, the Royal Navy corvette HMS Amethyst, using the more recent Tumbling Dice ASV11 Screw Sloop model as a basis for adaptation. I cut away the sails from the bowsprit, foremast and mizzenmast, then replaced them with masts and spars from cut down staples. This was easier than I thought it would be but there was quite a lot of trimming, filing and sanding involved. It's not a perfect match for HMS Amethyst but it's not bad, especially as there's nothing else that would do the job.
