天滅中共全黨死清光!

Very nice and accurate too! Now, would you mind doing the following and I shall be most pleased: La Couronne, La Magenta or La Solferino and Erzherzog Ferdinand Max! Obviously you've got the nack for this. One remark though, looking at the image more closer: I believe the funnel is either charcoal black or light grey with a black top.

Otherwise, for those who care this vessel was the very first armored vessel in history bar the floating French batteries employed in the Crimean War against Sevastopol. She preceeded the British Warrior with, I believe a year and seven month (1859), and instantly established the pattern for the next decade on how to arm and armor battleships. She had a wooden hull, unlike the Warrior, meaning that she and her consorts enjoyed a rather short career. La Couronne, which was launched almost at the same time as she was completed was fully iron-hulled, thus beating Warrior once more! La Couronne was long-lived. Only in the 1930s was she scrapped. Of course the Warrior is still afloat as a museum ship...

euh.... I try to limit my ship drawings, because my list is just tooooooo long. I don't think I will add more ship on my list at this moment.
I was trying to finish my Dingyuan class Battleship and HMS Inflexible, but somehow I ended up with Le Gloire.
I was planning to do a La Couronne but it is La couronne 1636 of Royal French Navy, but that is far in future.
