I am looking for some information, specifically I would like to know if anyone has the dimensions of the Italian 1st class wooden screw frigates in the second division at the battle of Lissa 1866. |

this site may be of use. Seems to list dimensions etc. and is alphabetical listing. I found a few on your list here. link |

Thank you all for the links. I managed to do quite well by Googling in Italian instead of English. There are some pretty useful sites on the Italian language internet on Lissa. I might do the same for Austrian sites using German . |

I can highly recommend this book and its Croation supplier to anybody interested in the The battle of Lissa. The book contains many pictures of mostly Austrian ships but a lot of Italian as well and a good description of the battle in English. Even the third rate ships are illustrated for more a complete picture of the fleets involved. link |

Does this mean we should expect the Pithead Lissa models to be released in the near future? :-) - Ix |

Admiral, I will definately be making a set of Lissa ships. Whether or not Pithead will make any copies is collectively up to yourselves. |

This project *so* needs a kickstarter page… I know I already said so, but I'm in for the whole Lissa set if it gets manufactured. - Ix |

I need to sign up 6 more committed people for the project to go ahead but I will be putting pictures of some of the prototypes up on my website before then. Its a big project involving many ships so I need to know I will have some level of support. I haven't made any of the Gunboats or Paddlers yet as I want to see how it goes first. |

I recommend making an(other) announcement on TMP when the pictures go up. That may knock loose a few more committed buyers. Besides, I want to see the pictures. :-) - Ix |

Thanks for that. I am in the process of converting a number of existing castings to make these ships. This will save a lot of research time. |
