Got all the parts worked out and the kit will be three pages of card. Here is the page with the casemate. I think the color is good and the over all model will capture the look of this vessel pretty well. I like the looks of the armored decks and the off set rivets. I am pretty sure the off set hole used in the rail style armor pretty accurate at least in the look, if not scale, and the over all evolution of the Rebel ironclad is solid! I hope that you all like it. I am working on the cover/info page and instructions now. Big thank you to Kaz!

i added the two bronze howitzers, the steam pipe and a flag staff. Not sure if the Jackson had these, but it seems right. I did read that the Jackson did have the typical boat howitzers stored for repelling boarders.

Well, Kaz suggested that I make this a double kit, including both famous CSN Columbus yard ships, the CSS Jackson and the CSS Chattahoochee. So I have started on the wooden gunboat now. Both models will be waterline and in 1:250 scale. Pics soon.

Here are some pics so far. The CSS Chattahoochee was a "tub" and would not do well in open ocean. It was a river gun platform. The Desires of it's first Captain, Capt. Jones from CSS Virginia fame, to take the ship to sea was a bit over ambitious. It would have floated, but the crew would have been cramped, wet and sick! Anyhow, it was a good enough river gun boat, all home built.

While reworking my Chattahoochee model with a little new information, I figured I would give you all some pictures of the test build of the CSS Jackson. Henryk Schoepe is the builder and doing an awesome job! Enjoy...

Thanks Elliott. I have some more progress to report on the Chattahoochee. I found out that new research holds that the bulwarks, if it had any, were quite short, the guns easily being able to fire over them. So I cut them down, I also finished most of the rigging.
