USS Monitor 1/300 scale printed

The latest model finished for my budding Union force, the USS Monitor as she appeared at Hampton Roads.

The model itself is actually a scaled up 1/600 stl file, and is a rather simple affair.

But so was the ship itself, as she lay low on the waterline with mostly the turret sticking out on the flat, metal deck.  Needless to say, there wasn`t much of a paintjob one could do with her.

She does remain a cool design though in my opinion, and I`ll be using her either for some naval skirmishing games like Anaconda, or as a "decor" if I lay out a battlefield near a coast line.

Next up in ACW naval will be printing a whole lot of actual 1/600 ships to get a game in sometime...
