A merchant ship with a resin hull and metal additional components is available from the Warlord Games site for the sum of 18 of our Brexit £.
The hull is very thin between the raised fo'c'sle and quarterdeck (go one, admit you're impressed by my grasp of Jolly Jack Tar lingo) and was a little warped in my case. Boiling water treatment on a flat surface soon sorted out - in fact I almost overdid it. The resin is quite thin.
The metal parts have little flash and were no problem at all to fit - apart from my allergy to superglue setting of my sinuses - how I suffer for my art.
The model paints up really well - the resin comes very clean. I used Humbrol grey spray to coat the model before painting.
A metal kit of a cannon and crew is supplied so you can arm the vessel by fitting a quarterdeck gun if required.
A generous supply of naval figures in three man groups come with the kit. I also added some Heroic & Ross British standing artillery crew figures so I could have some individuals on the boat. At 1:300 scale they look fine when painted as seamen.
More of the H&R figs on the bridge wings.
The 1:300 coaster model by the side of a Warlord Games 1:300 S-Boat.
And beside the lasercut merchant ships I posted earlier
This is a great model offered at a good price.
