This is the German WWI battlecruiser SMS Seydlitz, an incredibly tough
ship which took heavy damage at Jutland but still made it back to port.

The kit is the 1/250 scale paper model by JSC of Poland.  This was my
first large-scale paper model, and let's just say I learned a lot.  The
finished product is admittedly rough around the edges, but is still
pretty impressive if viewed from a reasonable distance!

I'm currently working on a similarly large paper model of the French
battleship Richelieu, and the lessons learned in building this first
model are proving very helpful.

The JSC paper kits are very good quality.  I recommend them to anyone
looking for large scale models of unusual subjects, for a very
reasonable price.
