![[ img ]](http://s1016.photobucket.com/user/craigh666/media/Civil%20War%20Monitors/V1CanonicusClass.png.html) Canonicus Class Monitor. This class constitutes the 3rd Generation Coastal monitors designed by John Ericson, improved over the original USS Monitor and Passaic Class through lessons learned in battle and on station blockading the Confederate States. The major areas of improvement revolved around firepower, survivability (primarily in attacks against shore fortifications), speed, ventilation, and habitability. CraigH |

Nice work! One thought about the shading - I see You're doing it the way Gollevainen suggested (elsewhere) - actually I'm bit puzzled by this suggestion as from the beginning I'm doing the shading the way that's essentially mirroring the "C" option from Your 1.oct.2013 post (which at the beginning I understood to be the way of shading, and had no idea at all about the way of shading recently suggested by Gollevainen) and it's getting uploaded without any discussion.

CraigH those are wonderful examples of what SB is all about. The first Ironclads are the pre-cursors of all the other modern warships drawn here. The attention to detail in such small scale ships is awesome. |

The individual identification markings are great. I always thought that I.D. markings were invented for UK and German ships from the early 1900's. Also, even though I have read the Osprey/ Vanguard book on USN monitors, these are the first drawings I have seen that clearly illustrate the relative sizes of the various designs of these ships. Thank you. |
