Great pictures Taifoo
 Looks like not all are military and some could be really intersting models. The Russian Fleet Handbook 1861-1917 lists about 25 military paddlers under the  general heading of steamers. These  pictures really enhance the plain text.

Hello Taiphoon Very many thanks for the excellent postings. I have a love of ship paintings and those posted are excellent. I think it about time to consider a paddlesteamer PAINTINGS gallery.Would it not be great to bask in such works of art?. Walter.
