Can you guess what I am scratch building?

Isn't that the ship from the Sahara movie? after a little searching, something called a Ironclad or CSS Texas?

[Harry P.]

That's one of the ironclads from the Civil War... can't remember if it's the Monitor or the Merrimac.

First Confederate ironclad ship CSS Virginia, built on the hull and engines of the former Merrimack. One of the two ironclads, the other being the Union ship Monitor, in the US Civil War Battle of Hampton Roads.

Nice looking CSS Virginia.  What's that monitor in the background that looks like it has two turrets?  The USS Monitor only had one.

You probably already know about Flagship Models: http://www.flagshipmodels.com/zencart/  They have some nice Civil War era 1/192 scale stuff.

Yes the two turreted Monitor is also scratchbuilt.I am aware of Flagship models but they are pricey.This one is costing me nothing thus far!

Darn't and I though it was the Jabba the Huts desert cruiser from Star Wars!
