Well, it, "really took some doing", fifteen years since only 20 were produced, a collective effort came to FINALLY make the new, 1/100 U.S.S. Monitor Model available to the general public as a digital download.


This was, "no small task", long over due, as it is a large format print measuring 12" x 18", however, this new kit includes a scale on every part sheet to facilitate that it might be printed in segments or sections by a, "skilled modeler" in what ever scale they prefer.


This model was originally designed between 2000-2005 in direct consultation with project specialist with NOAA overseeing the recovery expeditions of the wreck of the U.S.S. Monitor and contains a number of exclusive features revealed during the recovery, back then, my, "job" (as I saw it) was to document the findings of the recovery expeditions in the form of a 3-D model (just happens to be paper)


Conceived as an, "educational tool", we strive then as now to make it as accurate as possible considering the scale and medium, many improvements have been made to accurately reflect the discoveries that have been made since the recovery expeditions, essentially, "bringing it up to date".



Glad to see that it is finally available, its been, "a long time in the making", my personal thanks to everyone who made this possible, it can be found here-> https://www.ecardmodels.com/product/...d-paper-model/



Thanks again guys! -Fred R. Dressler
