6th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment, 1863: Preview

Here is a sample figure for my latest ACW commission, the  6th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Iron Brigade, at Gettysburg. The figure is by Forgotten Glorious in 28mm, the painting by Leuthen Studios. The Regiment should be finished shortly. Comments and suggestions are most welcome.

  

Royal Galley of John of Austria at Lepanto, 1571

The Royal galley of John of Austria, Real, was built at the Drassanes Reials de Barcelona (the Barcelona Royal Shipyard).  This galley was his flagship at the Battle of Lepanto 1571. There is a magnificent reproduction of this galley at the Barcelona Maritime Museum.

El Port de Barcelona

The "MUSEU MARÍTIM DE BARCELONA" is housed in the old Barcelona Royal Shipyard. The shipyard itself is a series of galley "sheds" built of stone in the 16th Century. The buildings were added to and modified over many centuries from 1285 until 1749. The shipyard built galleys for the Aragonese Armada. 

The following photos are of an impressive diorama of the Port de Barcelona in the 14th Century.
