Papermodelers.com wouldn't allow me to post a link to this on that site so I'm hoping that Zealot will.

I'm de-lurking because I ran across a 1/144 model of John Ericssons USS Monitor.

The link to the PDF is at the bottom right.


Best of luck

screw the rivets, I build for atmosphere.

I built this model a few years ago; one of my favorite designs - simple, accurate, and all the parts go together nicely! If only the cropping on the file were better, though :mrgreen:

Thank you for posting this link. It is a good tidbit of American history. Not only that, but the model looks good as well.

OOhh! Now I know what you mean. I guess the Gov overspending has caused cutbacks in the most unusual cutbacks and trimming!:eek:

O.K., this may ruffle the feathers of some, but unless you are the government, stay ruffled. I have fixed the model and have uploaded it here

The file name is USS Monitor fixed.zip

Yea, I found it and built it during my recovery from surgery. Nice little model. I designed and made the cover for the turrant and added it. The wire I used for the struts were way too big, but were the smallest I had. Could not leave the house (doctors orders) so I used them.

Have touched up the seams with paint since the pictures were taken, looks better now.
