    Chris, you know you can count on me. You also know I have a few other things going on right now, but if need be, I'll take a crack at it. Corsair's have always been a love of mine. My Dad worked on them at the begining of the Korean war. Still have a pic of him sitting in one he worked on...

    Ok, not starting the body of the ship yet, as I just laminated the top and bottom on more 110# card stock. Just wanted to show the deck detail that the designer did a very nice job on. Will start next with some of the other details.

    1/250 USS Monitor 1862 build.

    Thanks Ron, always good to hear from you. Build will probably slow down a bit for a few day's as I was off work end of last week cause I pulled my back out. Back up and running in slow motion, and back to work, so that takes away my time during the week. Will be updating as I go along.
