Summary

This is a miniature model I designed of a City-class Union ironclad aka "Pook's Turtle" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City-class_ironclad). These were the first ironclad warships built for the Union (though technically not the US Navy, as they were initially under US Army command). Their construction and commissioning preceded the more famous USS Monitor by about a month or so.

As provided, the model is 90mm long, but should scale pretty well in the slicer, if you want a larger version.

FreeCAD (v1RC2), Step, and STL files are provided for remixes and modifications, if desired.
