CSS Palmetto State 1-250 scale
As some of you know I have been working on a 1-72 scale model of the CSS Palmetto State, a Confederate ironclad. It is a full hull fully detailed plank on frame design that has occupied much of my free time for a few days now, and is about driving me nuts (ok, more nuts). As much as I want to get this done, I could not resist taking a few hours and making a simplified 1-250 scale waterline model of the same boat. It has far fewer details and is small, as the original ship was just over 170 feet in length. If you enjoyed my Fredericksburg or Virginia II, you will like this one. I hope to have a PDF ready by the end of the week end. If anyone would like do a build of this and let us follow on this thread, just PM me with an email address. I need a couple of builders for different prospective.
 Thanks guys, now back to work on the frame makings for the big one...

OK, the 1/250 scale waterline model of the CSS Palmetto State is ready for building. It is a FREE download. PM me if you would like it, and I am also going to see if Ecardmodels.com would like it as well.

As a side note, I stumbld upon this over at you tube.
YouTube - Anime Boys' Tribute_The Cumberland's Crew It is Anime, but it is a surprisingly accurate telling of the fight between the Virginia and the Cumberland. I would love to find a model of the Cumberland, but I may have to make one.

I am looking for a test builder or two for my latst fort mounted Brookes gun in 1/72 scal, PM me if you want to take it on.
I am wondering how this model went together...did anyone have a chance to complete it yet? I have too many irons (or ironclads) in the fire now! I can not keep up with everything. Pictures of any of my models would be great! CT
