Lone Star Models Posted March 28, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2016 First is the C.S.S. Manassas. She predated the Virginia by a few months? Was used in the battle for New Orleans and scuttled. The Manassas was a converted tug boat armed with a bow ram and on cannon that was all but impossible to reload after the first shot. The other is the C.S.S. Fredericksburg. Part of the Charleston Squadron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Star Models Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted March 29, 2016 I carved the originals from plexiglass then detailed them in styrene . These parts were then molded and recast as model kits in urethane resin. I made around 30 different ones at one time. I have since sold all of the masters and molds to Flagship models in Oklahoma.

Backtheattack Posted April 1, 2016 Share #4 Posted April 1, 2016 Interesting theme. Because of this I had a look for some books and find first 3 from the Osprey series. It`s a theme seldom noticed in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
