Plus I got intrested when I was watching the Most Haunted team go to "Drum Barracks" in California.

Observation Tower:

Ventelation Blowers:

Pilot House:

Side view showing Sub-merged Hull & Armoured Overhanging raft belt:

I dont think you realise what it is.

The Second is my LDD Creation.

The first MOC of the Turtle isnt mine, its Piglets as I clearly stated.

As for the Monitor, here is the Picture:

Ow sorry I missed that it was Piglet's moc, it doesn't change the fact that I love it ^^

your attempt of the U.S.S monitor is nice! But I think that if you try to build it bigger, you'll be able to make it more detailed, but anyway with this scales I think it's a nice attempt.

Cool! If I'm not mistaken, the Moniter and the Turtle battled it out during the American Civil War

[Scouty]

Don't know about that, but certainly it battled the C.S.S. Merrimack.

Piglets Ironclad C.S.S Turtle is a very well done and realistic looking MOC, for him !

And I also like your USS Monitor Joey Lock, especcialy the "observation tower" with the guns worked out well, considering the limits of LDD. A for you too.
