(...) 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 (20 years ago, 4-Apr-05, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Thanks. The transition is accomplished using four headlight bricks far for'ard. The SNOT section is not structural (internal supports hold the deck), so a 2 stud contact for each side was all that was needed. Cheers Richie Dulin (20 years ago, 3-Apr-05, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)
