An experimental Torpedo Ram of the 1870s-1890s. A quick little project I did today. I didn't have many different references for it, mainly I used a model. I also did my best to draw a Whitehead torpedo, it was difficult being so small in this scale!

It's probably not the most accurate drawing in the world, but hey.

Very nice. And certainly a big improvement from your first drawing.
In case you haven't seen them already, Navsource have a fair number of photos of her. Link
Are you basing it on the Walden Model Co?

Excellent progress so far. Sometimes when you lack good references for whatever reason (rarity, lack of photos etc) then you have to make the best use of what you have. You seem to have done that here.

A handsome version of an often overlooked ship.
Extremely good work considering the fact that you had very few easily-scalable side views.
