There's a new theory that the Monitor's turret at the famous battle was not as round as usually depicted and modeled.

They might be, but then again they might not :)

I've updated the set of USS Monitor 3D print models that I have on Wargame Vault to include a version with the turret shield in case people want to try something a bit different.

I've seen the turret. It's round.
