I,finally have gotton to work on my CSS Charleston afder a long hiatus. I hulled it with strips of cardstock to replicate a wooden hulled ship and have cut down the casemate to build it with a square vs octagonal casemate. The formers for the casemate are in place and I have a Cottage Ind.,dahlgren on a Marseilly carriage to indicate where gunports sbould go. I,m working on pilothouses, the stack and ve.tilation louvers for the casmate roof.I,ve read everything that I can find and wwill paint hsr in the rust red/tan scheme wite wbite/-lt grey stack.,Does anyone have a quess as to the cours enployed on the boats/provisioning masts fire and aft.
