Miniatures Lehigh on station

[usnhm1625]

Iconclad Lehigh, on station with the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron. After repairs at Port Royal, South Carolina, Lehigh rejoined the fleet off Charleston 13 January 1864, was assigned to picket duty, and during the following year kept up an intermittent fire on various enemy fortifications in Charleston Harbor.

Thank you, I was trying to find the perfect background. And I found this one, and it is of Port Royal SC.

Neat! What did you make these models out of?

Wood along with metal pieces and pressed paper for roof, doors, and windows. After painting, apply a clear varnish for protection. A lot of hours studying the photos from the era and a painting post on this site from 2015. Now that I've given away my trade secrets, LOL. I love building these miniature vessels.
