Hey, Corey!
Just curious if you finished this model; I see a CSS SELMA offered on eCardmodel but that looks to be a different ship, a concept ship if you will, than this CSS SELMA of Mobile Bay fame. Cheers! Jim |

The Selma vessel offered at ecards is not the same ship. It was a large Nashville class gunboat that was wrecked on launch and sold for scrap. I think it was too large with too thin a cross section. I suspect the weight broke the ship when it hit the water wrong on launching.
The CSS Selma is underway, just been a while. I have been working on it and will some day (soon I hope) wind up being available. Corey

Corey, I ran across this illustration of a pivot gun that might give some insight as to how the gun may have been positioned using a rack-and-pinion gear.

Corey, I just ran across this while browsing Project Gutenburg, and thought it might be of interest to you. http://www.gutenberg.org/files/24612...-h/24612-h.htm

Thanks, Corey...I figured that was the story.
I look forward to your further update when you have had the chance to work on this model in the future...and to offer it on eCardmodels, I hope. Take it easy, mate! Been thinking of you. Cheers! Jim |

OK, starting over with a better model design. Sometimes I get too carried away with the ship and forget it needs to be a build-able model. Darn, I hate starting over!

Really looking forward to your rework on this one, Corey!
I know it's a pain to redo models but I know you would rather do it to your satisfaction, no? Cheers! Jim |

Your right Jim. These hulled ships as apposed to the normal ironclad have to be approached a different way, and I forget that sometimes.
