This is one for Corn-fed-erate.
Had a power outage while the engineers "improved" our supply ,so spent some time building this
in 1/600 scale. The colour isn't quite right ,but it's the neare

st card I could find for "pine green".

Looks good to me John!

Been kind of quiet lately. Jason has his 10th birthday party this Saturday at Fort Branch. Wouldn't you know it, one activity he wants his friends to do is build a model of a boat. So.......I have cut out 18 "kinda like Passiac class" monitors. He was a little disappointed that they are going to be Union boats but I had to choose a simple design. Don't know how it is going to turn out.

As Andy loves to say " pictures or it did not happen ". Look for a "Jason's Party" post about sunday.

I used to Re-enact at Fort Branch! I wonder if my old cabin "poison ivy palace" is still standing?

I know some of them have signs and I recognize the name. If I'm right I'll post a pic for you.

Why was this ship pine green in color?

There is a discussion on another thread about colour schemes of North Carolina's inland warships, from which it app;ears the latest research indicates they were that colour.
