CSS Tallahassee
by Paul Helfrich
1/192 Civil War Raider CSS Tallahassee (Lone Star Models)

This is the Lone Star Models multi-media kit of the Civil War raider CSS Tallahassee in 1/192 scale.  I built this a number of years ago, and it's the older version of the kit, with the vac-form hull.  It has a wood deck and small parts in both white metal and plastic. I
understand they now offer a version with a resin hull that can also be built as an alternate version, the CSS Atlanta.

The flags, shrouds, and ratlines were done by hand. 

This is a very interesting ship that really shows the transition from sail to steam.  The hull shape almost suggests a WWI four stack
destroyer.

Thanks to my wife, Geane, for helping me with the photography and for putting up with my hobby!
