my problem with rivets is that we should be able to see them at this scale... do you see them when you see a ship like this on long range... |

Thanks for the complements folks! @heuhen: I tend to agree with you regarding rivets as seen at long range and at such small scales. I think they would possibly show up as a texture and not really definable at the scale we are dealing with here at SB....at least in crystal clear air in hard sunlight. I ran into a note in one of my references regarding the turret rivets. The Canonicus Class specifically had flush rivets, the inference being that it was a design improvement. There were mushroom rivets on the Dictator (the largest launched). For sure the Passaic and original Monitor had mushroom rivets...so did the Roanoake as it was built with turrets identical to the Monitor's (The Passaic had an enlarged turret, more volume, thicker armor, and relocated con). Around the rest of the hull: Flush rivets on decks looks universal on the monitors, near as I can make out from photos. Sides of hulls are a mixed bag. Mushrooms are visible in some images while others appear quite smooth or in a few images slightly sunken flush rivets judging by shadowing. CraigH |

![[ img ]](http://www.cizadlo.us/CraigH/SB_Scale/USA_Mon_USS_Dictator_1863.png) USA, USS Dictator (1863) Designed as an ocean going monitor with 2 × 15 in (381 mm) Dahlgren smoothbores and a speed of 10 knots (18.5 km/h; 11.5 mph). In service untill 1877. ![[ img ]](http://www.cizadlo.us/CraigH/SB_Scale/USA_Mon_USS_Puritan_1864.png) USA, USS Puritan (1864) Designed as an ocean going monitor with 2 × 20-inch (508 mm) smoothbore Dahlgren guns and a designed speed of 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph). Never completed due to issues with casting the guns. Deteriorated in the stocks and "administratively rebuilt". CraigH |

*gasp* The dictator is definitely one of my favorite monitors, besides the two-turreted 11-inch gun ships. Excellent work on them CraigH, absolutely beautiful. |

Are we going to see any of the two turreted ocean going Monitors that served during the war besides the Onondaga and the Kalamazoo class? |
