USS Tyler river gunboat

[JR.]

I don't know if this is the catagory to ask this but does anybody know of a paper model of the civil war timber clad gunboat USS Tyler or plans of it? thanks:)

I started several timberclads but they are locked up in my dead computer for now. I did not find plans, but was instead working from pictures.

[JR.]

OK I sure hope you can get those back.

My wife says she can get my computer to boot from disc but I need to find my windows xp disc...

[GunnerGreg]

Let me know if you can't find one. I've got a spare around the house somewhere.

why I was wanting the model of the Tyler was because My 4th great grandfather was killed on the second day of the battle of Shiloh and possibly could have seen her and/or her sister USS Lexington. So I would really like to have one.

There are great pictures and we know the beam and length so a guy could come close using that. That's what I was working with.

Okay, thanks for making me feel old. My ONCE great grandfather fought in the Civil War and married my great grandmother upon his return from service. I have their wedding photo hanging in my home. EIGHTH! Yowsah. Let me go grab my walker, put in my hearing aid and go sort out my meds before lunch.

Don't feel old, i have a friend who's only, 14? and he already has some grey hair! :eek: And your as old as you want to feel. :)

maybe I was wrong I don't think I could have been 8 generations. (some times I get mixed up with my numbers.

[Vermin_King]

That's a relief.

Let's get back to this boat
