Very nice project. Keep posting as you go.
Cut out the sides and glued them on.Multi-stage clamping and relief cuts are the order of the day!
I cut the deck out of a sheet of .80 styrene and drillled the holes for the turrets,stacks and ventilators.The deck is yellow and blue because i get signs printed on thick styrene at work that would otherwise be thrown away Saves me a ton of cash!.
I agree! Bluejacket makes the original Momitor and the C.S.S. Virginia but they are very pricey.
Cool subject. I wish there were more Civil War ships built up here.

I found a blueprint of the uss Monadock which was a union twin turreted ironclad on navalresources.org that should allow me to prepare assembly drawings.
I think Ships in Scale had an article on a twin turret monitor about six months to a year ago, and the article did have drawings included.
i am considering scratch building a twin turreted Monitor type ironclad.Can you recommend any good reference web sites that will provide good photos and dimensions?
