Scratchbuilt late Ironclads part III

[snake777]

Hallo All,

Have been quietly plugging away with my 1870's/80's Ironclad ships plus some extras... First up: The Glorious Ugliness that is the Amiral Duperré from 1883...

[snake777]

... The rather cute Austrian Kaiser Max from 1876...

[Leman]

Very nice indeed. I actually find the ironclads from that period rather beautiful.

... A floating dock with the Duperré ensconced...

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Good stuff there.

[snake777]

... A Venetian octagonal fort...

[snake777]

And finally... An ubiquitous Starbucks coffee-cup lid Sea fort...  Enjoy!!

Best wishes,

Stu

Thank you Leman, I fully agree with you, so much more interesting than the later homogenous designs!! 

[snake777]

Good stuff there.

Many thanks Lord K!!

That fort is pure genius.

That fort is pure genius.

  I can't claim bragging rights on originality for this... have seen many variants on various blogs over the years!!

Great work on these - are the ships entirely scratch built?

Thank you Fred, yes these are all scratch built at around 1/1000 scale... sort of...!!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Those are jaw droppingly amazing! Wow!

Nicely done! The ships of those days were truly elegant.
