This is magnificent! You’ve really captured the monitor look well.
I love the turret (and the guns, of course). Really impressed with the tackle
for the boats too.
Is there a wheel? (I couldn’t spot one, but my knowledge of such vessels is
sketchy).
And that expanse of deck is to be envied.

The “ship’s wheel” was below deck in the engine room, see photo NH 59444:

The observer in the armored “pill box” on top of the turret. Would callout info
down to the Captain who would order the engine room...

Kurt,
It seems like just a few weeks ago I was wondering why I couldn’t find any good
MOCs of Civil War era (and later) ironclads, and voila, you post one.
This is great, I’d like to see it in person.
Thanks,
George

So, is that a Red Beard Runner hull (extended) hiding under the snot work?
The snot slopes really deliver a good hull curve. And nicely done with the
integration of the studs up deck to the studs foward bow.
And the small greenish thing... the head?
