Thanks. I cheated on the tubes. I used a tooth pick and a file to shape the barrels and painted them black with a sharpie! But they came out pretty good.

I suspect that had this ship survived to fight later in the war, her pre-war guns would have been replaced with heavier guns, and she probably would of had as many as four. Possibly some light howitzers on the upper deck as well. She had the room, although it is possible that her decks may have been too week for more then one gun on each end though. That was the good thing about the cargo steamers of the period, they already had heavy decks for cargo, so converting them into gunboats took less work as far as structurally.

Hey Corey

Been out of touch for a while with real life stuff. Picked up your new vessel to add to my CT collection. Another great job and thanks for your efforts. Looking forward to buying more ACW vessels to stock pile from you.

Joe

Hope you are enjoying the building...and another design finished and avialable. In another 100 years or so we should have every ACW ship available!!
