Canute Posted November 20, 2023 Share #3 Posted November 20, 2023 The resin side of the hobby had one or two, but you may only find them on the 'Bay. And maybe a card model, too. The original was found off Fort Sumter and resides in a museum in Charleston, SC. They're soaking it in chemicals to remove all the salt in the iron; similar to what the museum in Hampton, VA is doing to the turret, cannons and other pieces of the USS Monitor.

Roger Pellett Posted November 20, 2023 Share #4 Posted November 20, 2023 Looks like an interesting project! You could duplicate the picture on the the box as 54 mm Civil War era figures (1:32 scale) are readily available.

Mike Collier Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share #5 Posted November 21, 2023 It is a very interesting model, I got to see the Hunley when I was in Charleston in 2014. It was still in the water soaking, but they had a couple of the top panels off and you can see inside, even see the hand crank.
