War in the Adriatic

I have completed six-six battleships for the KuK Kriegsmarine and the Regia Marina. They are all scratchbuilt from wooden sticks, broom bristles and plasticard.

There is no strict scale: all of them are approx. 6cm long and 1.5cm wide. Comparing the scale to the Habsburg-class, it is about 1/1900 or 1/2000. 

More ironclads

Thought I would share more at this point as I'm running out of content for the blog. Found in the same thread as the previous one.

What I know or guess: these are the generation of warships before the pre-dreadnoughts and after the ironclads with side-batteries used at, for example, Lissa; they still have cannons in the old ship of the line style and turrets on deck and on the sides. 

I can't tell what this is,

but I do certainly like it! Found on the 'weapons' board of that certain infamous place of the internets. The whole concept of the ironclad with side-turrets is interesting in itself; looks like something freshly out of a steampunk novel.
