The construction technique ...Hello there Archduke,<br /><br />The construction technique is pretty much the same as that I used several years ago except on a larger scale. I built an Arkansas years ago as I was modelling specific ships at the time. This new lot however, aside from being bigger overall will be far more generic looking so all this is is a ‘large casemate ironclad’. There will be two smaller versions to join the flagship shortly.<br /><br />I am really enjoying getting back to ship building and only wish I had started it sooner!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DC<br />David Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-30355033275928988862020-10-06T21:32:42.632+01:002020-10-06T21:32:42.632+01:00Hi David -

With three broadside ports instead of four, and I reckon we'd be looking at CSS Arkansas.<br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-74190123936210464862020-10-06T21:07:53.378+01:002020-10-06T21:07:53.378+01:00Good start.

The Warbases hull saved time for sure and having a uniform template to work from is going to be really handy going forwards. <br /><br />The hull and casemate will be a shade of grey, the decks will be wooden and the funnel black.<br /><br />Similar to my original models from way back when!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-62199259189180498022020-10-06T20:21:27.861+01:002020-10-06T20:21:27.861+01:00Hi Steve J,
