Hello Lars, I did not know "Maxim" was you.
I just updated WarshipGuy at FSM 20 min ago on those similar links using google translate. That is a fantastic build at 1/700.
Warshipguy and Gene1 are building the Revell kits now. Gene is OOB and Bill, WarshipGuy, is doing the needed corrections. We are awaiting his posts.
Thanks for the update.
So I did pick on you a bit with Bill. I indicated that the rake of the masts seemed to be missing. LOL... at 1/700 how could an 8 degree rake be seen anyway... Thanks again. Jim. (Nino)

Hi Nino, thank you for the interest! Unfortunately the provider, to which I had uploaded the photos, introduced costs and changed its database structure, so that the photos are lost. They can be still found on Modellmarine.de. Here the direct links (above the one for the automatically translated texts) USS KearsargeCSS AlabamaIf you need help or informations: I still should have all the information and even more photos. Cheers, Lars

Thank you for posting your beautiful work here, both ships are fine builds and I have been lurking in the shadows watching them come together, but you have inspired me to have a go at an old Australian ship. Well done on an awesome effort Cheers Callum

I shall look forward to seeing the British Light Cruiser Glasgow being modelled by your skilled hands. This is a particular favourite of mine and I am sure it would look great at your chosen scale (the sponsons will set it off beautifully). Love to see more of your work.

Thank you! After finishing four ships with sailing rig this year - the French 74-gun ship Marengo, the Peruvian ironclad Independencia and these two here - I prefer to built some models without sailing rig.

Thank you!
I am painted them blue, because they were described that way in the article series Reconstructing USS Kearsarge, 1864 by Arthur C. Roberts. Probably also the boats of Alabama were more colourful, but the description was less detailed.

I'm curious, why the lifeboats have inside area painted blue? there was a reason or it was a "fashion" thing of those days?

The last things were the boats and anchors. The boats are made by Combrig, Modelkrak and probably Italeri - everything, which was available and fitting. The davits and small cranes for the anchors are PE parts by BJ-Modellbau. Alabama's anchors are from the same company, but with an added stock. Kearsarge's are Admiralty pattern anchors, this time PE parts by North Star Models with the stock replaced by a thicker plastic part to depict a wooden stock. The anchor chains are also by BJ-Modellbau. Here Alabama: and Kearsarge: I will make better photos in time of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Cherbourg between the two ships.
