A Mixed Grille





I wasn't happy with the Hallmark gunboat model that I used to represent the Imperial Prussian Yacht Grille, so I had a go at converting the other model in the pack into something a little bit more like the actual ship, using the first model as a donor for the mizzen mast and sail. I also added a tall stack amidships but it ended up being a little bit too tall after I compared it to the photograph and paintings of the Grille, not that anyone will actually notice. It should also have a slight aftwards rake but that looked odd when I tried it so I left it in a vertical configuration. I'm much happier with the end result either way!

  1. Lovely. I think you're right not to rake the funnel - it needs to be at the same angle as the masts.
