a very attractive little tug that I certainly will build in the imminent future.


T ere were some diff erences between the American monitors and the Russian warships when they entered service. T e most signifi cant was that the Russian ships initially wore ‘Victorian’ livery. T is required transitioning to this from a US Navy all-black color scheme. T is would have been quite easy had not a professional computer geek ‘accidentally’ deleted Photoshop from my computer. Mörck’s model has a black hull, and the optional parts for Catskill provided a white turret that would work with some tweaks. I


needed a gray deck and a yellow funnel, which fi le folder card might provide.


Since I was building a waterline model to be set in a sea base, I needed to make the hull to show some underwater body. I created a deeper baseplate by laminating three layers of card using dry-mounting tissue because it does not buckle paper stock and the laminated material is ready for use immediately.
