Well, how about this for the monitor?

For classification, this is a "transitional" ship from "classical" sea-capable monitors like "Dictator" to ocean ironclads like "Devastation". The ship has a armoured "parapet" in the central part, covering the base of the Ericcsonian turret and raising the location of guns. In the bow - unarmored superstructure, to improve sea-capability.

The ship is about 5500 tonnes, and armed with 2 280-mm rifle breech loaders.

Very original, both in style and paintwork! For once, APDAF does have a valid point, though. When it comes to these special craft, it's beneficial to depict the entire hull. One way to do that is simply by having two drawings; one full-hull and one wl. Otherwise really a pleasant surprise. And his name was John Ericsson, i.e. w/o a 'k'!:D

Same concept to the HMVS Cerberus, except the Union is a bit more US-monitor-ish. The Parapet could considered as Breastwork.
