Paper Boy,
I am in the planning stages of building some Tinclads, both side and stearn wheel boats are available that took an active part in the riverine patrols during the American Civil War. Do you know if the Smithsonian has drawing for Tinclads, and how much was the design cataloge for the Ironclads? I do have a couple of riverboats from that era that I can convert, but would prefer to start from scratch.
Thanks,
