Thanks guys for all the encouragement.

I am adding some crew for scale. In this cas what could be the worlds smallest paper dolls from David Hathaway. Also did a little rigging for on of the guns. The crew figues are a bit crude but when the model is complete it should give a good idea of how crowded these ships could get.

Yes it did. And thank you. One I am going to build. The other looks a bit beyond my skills at this time! But I will learn! And again. Thank you!

Nothing brings the scale home like a human figure. I was going to add some of D. Hathaway's figures to the base of my zeppelin model but their tiny size thwarted me. Yours look really good!

Some of those Confederate ironclads were small, cramped and crowded. Not someplace I'd care to spend much time.

Thank guys. Not sure how many crew I will put in as they take more time then expected. I did get another gun done. It is an older smoothbore and at full recoil and secured. This would be in the "reload" position. On a ship of this size my guess is that only one waist gun crew was used, capable of using one gun or the other...

Love the idea of scale humans . . . are Hathaway's dolls available as a kit somewhere? I am fascinated.
