The hull plans and I think masting are available for the USS Merrimack so you can get a well referenced hull for the Virginia. The best available data for the armored citadel is all based on contemporary descripition and artwork as I recall...and some recovered bits.

Having said all that I'll assume I've just stuck a foot in my mouth. Breaking out some salt in anticipation.

I'll see what I've got to scan tonight to make up for the above!

I've hammered out a basic outline of the Virginia but I haven't gotten far enough along to warrent posting her yet.
