CSS Virginia // 1:350

[Edward Teach]

I started with building of CSS Virginia
First documentation. Drawings of Joe Hinds.


In fact nobody knows how realy CSS Virginia looked like. Bellow one of the oldest drawings of the ship.

There are some differences between Hind's reconstraction and this drawing.

Immitation of the panel lines with hel of needle and liner.


In fact op deck was one big gretting from still rods. I try to imitate it in paper in this way.

Blackbeard, it's good to see that you have finally begun designing and building the Virginia. The already available Paper Shipwright's model is great, but I see that yours looks interesting.
Keep up the good work!

I'll watch this with interest, Kaz, I supplied PaperShipwright with the plans for his Virginia.

What a pity that this beautiful model is only half model. I mean, no full hull as it should be.
