1/2400th Ironclad Scratchbuild - USS Essex



I'm still not entirely happy with my Union ironclad for the Messing About on the River Campaign, so I'm going to have one more go at a scratch build, this time something a lot easier than the USS Lafeyette. I've picked the USS Essex as she scales out to 32mm x 7.5mm, making her big enough to be a decent size and with a design that isn't too hard to replicate. She also fought the CSS Arkansas twice, so that's as good a reason as any. I have some DIY jobs to do tomorrow but should be able to spare some time at the workbench to get her completed, after which I'll move on to painting the models that I've assembled.
