Gift for my Uncle (CSS Texas)

Hi everyone

I do mainly spacecraft and rocket models but I have a uncle that is a former history teacher and civil war buff.

I made this model of the CSS Texas as a gift to show him a paper model.

The overhead view looks great! It appears that the other picture links are not working? Nice work on the life-boats and davits. I am just starting out and still have troubles when trying to make a life-boat in this scale. Happy Modeling, Ric minigamer1953

Nice job on your Texas. If she'd come off the ways she would have been a "Bad Mama Jammer"!

Nice. don't want to be picky ,but she'd have been commissioned with the final CSN Ensign which had a broad vertical red stripe on the outer third of the white field.

For an Ironclad, it just looks fast! Great build.
