The gun layout is interesting, but it seams that on this ship the type, number, and caliber of guns was in constant flux. So I am just going to go pretty generic.

Hi CT,

Have you checked out the Naval Historic Site page on the ship?

USN Ships--USS Tyler (1861-1865)

It has a few drawings of the Tyler, of course, being drawings, they may not be of much help, artistic license being what it is.

OK, I redesigned the bottom hull for a better look and now it is ready to go. I added a bunch of deck clutter and the rudder as well. I still need the guns and the pilot house details.

Starting over folks...again. I made a huge mistake. Luckily, it was pointed out to me before I got going on the pieces parts. You see, I confused the hull width and the deck width. My model is about 20 feet too narrow! Somehow, I got the other dimensions right. So I will be starting over again, but at least this time I know what I want it to look like!

Since you are heading into the timberclad waters, have you given any thought to attempting to model the Pook Turtles. They were used on the MS River and there is some really good photograhic evidence of waht they looked like and they would make great additions to your fleet. All you would need is one to reprersent the entire class

I have a who slew of river class warships in the works. For starters, I am working on the USS Vindicator, but I would really like to get this monster done. This is the third time I have restarted the Tyler! But, I want a good model.
