Hi friends and neighbors,

a nice video of my steam driven "Choctaw" Ironclad you will find in: Battleship "Choctaw" in action at steam exhibition Karlsruhe 2015.
I will present the model with pictures in the next days.

Greetings

Thomas

Hi Thomas
The Choctaw is on my wish-list! I would like to see much more of the engine, I do have plans from the ship, and the Modell-werft issue 11/2012 too.

Hi, friends and neighbors,

yesterday we made some pictures of "Choctaw" for a german model magazin. It was a cold, foggy autumn day. But by the steam of the engine a peculiar atmosphere was created. Hope, you willenjoy the pictures!

Spectacular Thomas  .........

Viewing all with the mist...the engine steam and all elements of the background and water, my vote is image IMG_0713 as the pick of the crop

I suggest this is the most realistic image .....what did you [or the Editors] choose?

Derek

Yes..I reckon the sepia tinted ones look very authentic..great set of pictures ... maybe the magazine could be persuaded to allow access to the finished article?

Today I made some further alterings of pictures to old. May be, even in the model scene it`s a possibility to make pictures more attractive. Some more examples I enclose.
