Confederate ironclad
Albermarle, scratch-built by Phil Frisch; the closer you look,
the more detail shows. Phil should be very proud of this model. He's going to add a launch and cannon soon, although
it looks great now; he and his son also ran this boat at the 2001 Regatta
The scribed wood hull prior to painting and weathering. The 'rivets' are small dollhouse hinge nails requiring Phil
to scour the countryside to find enough of them to complete this model.
