I have been doing research into building the CSS Manassas per the CWT blogs on her. I have concluded that "Flagships" model will work as a basis for the build. The comparison images show differences in the designs but as you can see, will work fine for a bash kit to get the blog outcome from @OwenEgan design. The model will be about 9 1/2" length at 1/192 scale approximately.
Will have some more info on this build soon. Model and parts have to be ordered along with some discussion with @shipmodeler . (Flagship models) I have researched this extensively for the build and considering cost factors along with a scratch build possibility, this is the way I will produce Owens design representation as close as possible. As the H.L. Hunley model of mine this one will have to be shaped accordingly using green putty. Depending on N scale for railroad tracks, I might be able to use actual tracks for the armor plating. We'll see.
Drawings provided from Flagship and @OwenEgan . Images scaled to each other for build note comparison done by myself.
