CSS Alabama and USS Kearsarge in 1/600

 Monday saw a little more progress on my expanding ACW fleet.  I completed assembling the CSS Alabama (on the left, USS Kearsarge on the right).  The model of the Alabama is also from Thoroughbred Miniatures and was a bit of a challenge to build.


 Next are two shots of the Alabama by itself.  It's a nice looking model.  Hopefully the heat wave will break so I can prime these guys up for painting!

  2. Very nice indeed!

    My favourite ship of that war is the CSS Shenandoah, who visited my home town and is a rare Australian link to the American Civil War:

  4. Thanks for the complements

    Each ship model is about 6 inches long (to the tip of the bowsprit)

  5. Outstanding! I'm a few steps behind on Kearsarge. I'll probably post after visiting WBC this week.
