I recently was forced to get my old lap top working as my newer one had a blow out with the power supply. The up shot was that I found a bunch of models that I had started and had not ever finished. Now, the models are ready for test builds. All are pretty good and will be made available on www.ecardmodels but I need to know that they go together good and I need digital pictures for the site. As always, the sooner the better! Also, I like to have at least two people to build a model so I get feed back from two builders. The below models are ready to go. Some I have sent out and are under construction already, but as I said, I would like at least two builds. Build threads are optional.
USS Champion, tin clad number 24.
This model is of a Union Ticlad side wheeled gunboat. It is a small model with a lot of small details. I have not attempted it. It has small parts and requires some mast building and rigging. 1/250 scale waterline. No interior stuff other then the guns.
CSS Peedee wooden gunboat
This is a pretty straight foreword build, but has some small parts such as the capstan with spokes. It too requires some mast building from skewers and rigging. There is a diagram for that. 1/250 scale waterline.
Porter's 10 gun ironclad river sloop
This is a rather large ironclad even at 1/250 scale, and builds like most of my other ironclad models. I built this one with no major issues, just need some pictures and a second opinion. Although the interior is provided, it is optional. Waterline model.
CSS Tennessee/CSS Arkansas concept 1861 model
Although a caemate type ship, this model has no roof and the inner gun deck is visable, along with two exposed pivot guns. Requires two simple masts with limited rigging. Waterline 1/250 scale.
Confederate vessel built at White Hall
Another casemate ironclad, with optional interior. Waterline 1/250 scale.
If interested in building one of these, please PM me with your email, and I will send the PDF over. a review of the intructions, parts and model in general would be helpful:). Thanks,
