"HMS Gorgon was a wooden steam paddle sloop of 6 guns, launched in 1837. In 1840 she took part in the bombardment of Acre, and in 1843 was part of the Royal Navy squadron stationed in the River Plate during the Uruguayan Civil War. She was converted to a troopship and in 1858 assisted Agamemnon in the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable. She was sold for breaking in 1864." (Wikipedia)
I always loved the transitional look of paddle ships from the early to mid 19th century and so here I present, HMS Gorgon. I may furnish the inside but not too sure as paddle sloop plans and depictions of their interiors are a bit harder to find. I have also made, HMS Cyclops, her lengthened sister ship which I may release in a larger schematic pack. Rendered with Chunky.
You may use the build on a server or for a video but please do give credit. It would be greatly appreciated!
