USS Cairo model

[1stMS-Arty]

Wow, they made big pennies back then!

Actually that is an incorrectly modeled penny...
Sure looks like Old Abe's house to me...

Should look like this....

this is the model of CSS Arkansas that I bought years ago...take it out of the package every now and then and look at it..sigh and put it back in. I think I got on ebay...caint remember but anywho this is what the wooden hull, deck and casemate look like. I just set a few of the other resin parts on it. It has detailed fittings and panels for the armor decking etc....

This is not shipmodeller's Arkansas....the name on the directions is Ironclad Models....and a guy's name and address...not sure if he wants it all over the internet. I don't think he is in business any longer or at least he doesn't make this particular model any more.

Guess I might try to finish it...

Woah! The reviewer must have dropped it with that chunk out of the bow.
