Hello All
I've been away from building paper models for awhile but haven't lost my interest. In 2010 i started building a 1/150 model of CSS Charleston after building a Palmetto State and a CSS Columbia. I think that there are build posts either here or on Zealot. That model had the basics of hull and the frames for the casemate built when work jacked up and the model was accidentally ruined. I recently found the pics on a forgotten drive and as Sherlock says " The game is afoot". Again i used the plan from P.C. Cokers book"Charleston's Maritime Heritage".It shows the lines drawing of Charleston as well as the illustration of the boom torpedo. The book also has information about Palmetto State,Chicora and Columbia. The Charleston never fought the US Navy as Palmetto State and Chicora did but apparently was moved on word that a infantry attack would be launched from the creeks near Charleston and she broke up the attack with her main battery. She was also the flagship of the Charleston squadron under Commodore Ingraham. I'll be posting pics as i get time to work on this boat in the scale of 1/96.The first pics will be of poor long lost Charleston.
