You do know that there was a full set of drawings of Acheron class gunboat published in a French magazine (possibly Modèle Réduit de Bateaux but I'm not sure)? |

Love it. Ships from the late 1800's are so visually interesting. Impressive scratch job. |

What are the two objects hanging from davits at the very stern? They look like automobile tires but it seems to be the wrong place for a "fender" and in 1885 the automobile tire has not yet been invented? |

What a great subject! The funny thing about it is that I finished painting mine just minutes before I checked the message board... All the best! Christian.
