Hello!
I started to build a new civil war ships, a gunboat.

The ship:
Built by F.Z. Tucker in Brooklyn and launched in 1863, the USS Mendota patroled uneventfully as blockading ship on the James River. The rake in the bow served to remove mines that were floating or stationary.

This was followed by two hajóoldal (mesh, with or without this are detailed below), pre-glued together at the front, and annotation!

The network did not like me because I think the ship is in very poor quality, so I'd already cut off the drawing.
I have a delicate texture bednets, superglue stiffened, and cut to size. Fitted and painted.
Then I started the manufacture of giblets. If everything is manufactured in, and only then will I paint glue them to the hull.

Wow, great work with that netting!

This model can make a number of other like ships, including, I think, the Miami.

Very nice build. I was wondering about the kit. Is there an option for the full hull?

Best wishes,

Greg

Hi Greg!

This version is the only water-line model.
I do not know the total hull.

Hello!

Superstructures of the board prepared the weekend, even boats. The steampipes chimney, the ventilation and trumpets prepared separately. Then I painted everything.
Then incorporated the components.
