The fleet… link
CSS Alabama (front), USS Kearsarge link
USS Weehawken (front), CSS Atlanta The dark colored ironclads are tricky, sort of hard to see here, but grey primer, washes of gun metal, black, and some rust and I think it came out pretty good! Next the Nahant and Tennessee…my goal is to slowly build-up to Mobile Bay! |

Nicely done! If I may ask, what material/techniques did you use for the rigging? |

Simple nylon thread, run through beeswax. Works on bigger ship models, figure it would work here. Also, covered in a final flat clear coat, which stiffens a bit more. |
