Hi, this is my new ship... the Monitor BAP Huascar... a paper model in scale 1:100... you can see Admiral Miguel Grau "The Gentlemen of the seas" in the bridge... when he sinks the chilean corvette "Esmeralda" (Chilean Captain Prat died in action), rescued the survivors and send to Prat´s wife a emotive letter and send his belongings.

Hi Erick!

Is the admiral figure deliberately modeled after Almirante Grau?

Hello Erik, very nice model of an unusual subject. You have displayed it very nicely, I like the water and background, and the smoke looks very convincing. Those paper models are interesting and it would be nice to see a how-to article. There must be a few tricks to getting a paper model to turn out well.
