Title: ACW Union Ironclads . . . ish
Post by: Froggy the Great on February 26, 2009, 01:01:08 AM

These are made from the hoverboard thingies you get on HeroClix flight bases.  Each ship is 1.25" (32mm) long, and vaguely based on the U.S.S. Monitor.

Ok, so American Civil War ironclads didn't have lightning guns mounted to their prow, but think how much cooler it would have been if they did.

If you're looking for turrets, Brigade models could have what you want;

Although I must admit, lightning guns are pretty cool...

I wasn't really, but thanks.  The point here was that I had parts that looked mostly right and it was a 1hr project for some cool apocryphal ships.
