New project: Blockade runner CSS "Condor" under construction
« on: February 18, 2026, 03:55:05 AM »
Dear friends and neighbors,

in mid december 2025 I startet my last project: Blockade runner CSS "CONDOR". Scale of model is now a little bigger in 1 : 42, caused of sufficient space for the steam engine in this rather slim hull, which shows rather sharp lines, as you see. Plan of the boat I draw by the pictures of the wooden models in American and British museums. In the past I`ve post the pictures in our forum.
Now the rough work with sawing and grinding wood is nearly finished, in the moment I made deck planking with 3 mm red cedar fillets. This is my 3. model of blockade runners after CSS "HOPE" and "COLONEL LAMB". Of course she will be steam driven. Last 3 pictures are again the models in museums, from which I made the plan.

 I hope, you will like all pictures!

Thomas
