1/250 German WWI battlecruiser SMS Seydlitz (JSC)
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.
