Thanks, guys. After I finish a few small additions (more crew, tow line, boat lines, etc.) then I'll take copious photos to send in for a feature.

Weehawken is finally completely finished. I had trouble getting replacement bulbs for my photo lighting setup and just got around to taking these shots yesterday. More photos are on my website. I need to do a full write-up of the build process, but I've taken over 350 photos during the past year and a half of this project, so it'll take some time before I get that completed and sent in to Tim.

I didn't know that ironclads look impressive when built into models.

Hi Guys,
Devin,
Nice job!
Dedication to a particular subject unparalleled!!!
I hope to see this bad boy in person.
Keep up the excellent work!
Ironclads have a mysterious element that does indeed fascinate.
I think the interest in this subject type is ever increasing.

Devin,
I wanted to congratulate you here on your excellent build!
Am looking forward to seeing Weehawken on the gallery once you've got your photos sorted out.
I've got to ask now with the larger rivet plate skins available, what will be your next project?
Chuck

Thanks for the compliments guys.
Tony, yes, you will be able to see her sometime later this year, say, August or so.
Chuck, I'm not exactly sure what my next big project will be, but I'd like it to be some sort of ironclad. Right now I'm knocking together Verlinden's CSS Atlanta (a beautifully cast little kit) and I have an old Lone Star USS Cairo that I'm going to use as a reference for a 1/192nd scale scratch-build. I really want to do a 1/96th scale City Class or Essex gunboat. Since I'm cutting plastic for a 1/192nd City class, I might just cut it in 1/96th at the same time. I definitely want to do a Canonicus class monitor someday, though, I love their asymmetrical stack and turret placement.
