Does anyone have drawings or other graphic information about this Italian 1874 monitor-type ship please ?
I have obtained a rather “detailed” papermodel, and I would like to use this as a startingpoint for scratchbuilding this ship.
I believe it’s one of the ships discussed in Brian King’s excellent book, Modeling Late Victorian Battleships. No plans, but quite a few photos of the author’s excellent model. I suspect the book is hard to come by (it was published a few years ago by a small publisher), but used copies may be available on the web.
If you can get hold of a copy of it, I highly recommend it. It deals primarily with British ships, but the author got interested in this Italian one and included a description of it in the book as well. Mr. King is one of the best - and he does a fine job of explaining just what challenging subjects vessels like this are. Good luck.
Thank you for the name, I now know what to search for at the used bookshops [:)]
