Looks good. Printing on manilla folder paper turned out to be a great choice.

Those ACW ironclad, tinclad, timberclad, cottonclad, river boats have much visual interest & do make appealing models.
Manila folder paper is one I'd likely not have ever thought to try printing on. Now, off to find what shelf this is on and see what it says about the vessel, Edit: Page 102. Was CSS before becoming USS after capture at New Orleans in April 1862. Name spelling seen as both Barrataria and Barataria Was used until it struck a snag in Lake Maurepas in April 1863. Outside of that, not much beyond a few basic dimensions was known, had been found, at time of book's printing in 1989.
