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.

Cheers
