Now I am doing the sides from the waterline up to the deck, about 4.5 feet or so. I am also attempting to lay out the inside frame work.
The dead lights measure three feet across but no details are seen in the blue print. I imagine that they would have been sunk down low and covered by a iron dick when in combat much like the small ones on the Monitor.
Question for you all on scale and lay out. If I do the math right, it looks like the model will be 10.75 inches long (224 feet and 1/250 scale) What is a good way to lay it out. Can I make it regular size paper (8.5x11) or is that cutting it too close. Do I need to put the decks corner to corner? All new to me.
