Shopteli proudly presents the CSS Virginia Model Warship. Showcase this stunning piece in your home or office! The C.S.S. Virginia was a Confederate ironclad warship that famously engaged the U.S.S. Monitor in the Battle of Hampton Roads during the Civil War in 1862. It played a significant role in defending the Gosport Navy Yard against the Union invasion. Now, you can own a FULLY ASSEMBLED model of this iconic vessel. Master craftsmen painstakingly handcraft these highly detailed wooden models using historical photographs, drawings, or original plans. Built to scale with premium woods like western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany, each model is individually constructed using the plank-on-frame method, mirroring the technique employed in actual shipbuilding. Hundreds of hours are dedicated to completing each model, which must then pass a rigorous quality control process before leaving the workshop. The C.S.S. Virginia Model boasts impressive details such as a wooden planked deck, upper wooden deck, lifeboats, metal anchors, smokestack with metal rings, wooden cannons, wooden rudder, and Confederate flags. The model is painted black with a wooden deck to accurately replicate the ship's original colors. This "Exclusive Edition" of the C.S.S. Virginia features a unique laser-cut serial number on each model, allowing us to track the production date, materials used, and other pertinent information about the model.
