1/200 USS Keokuk Paper Model

ADD TO WISHLIST >

In service just over 4 months and only officially commissioned for one of the months, the USS Keokuk was an experimental ironclad steamer of the US Navy.  Named for the City of Keokuk in the state of Iowa, the Keokuk was built in New York City and launched in December 1862.  As being one of the first warships to be constructed completely of iron using wood for the deck planks, the Keokuk was powered by nine steam engines and had two twin-cylinder main propulsion engines which provided a top speed of 9 knots.  While engaged in the first Battle of Charleston Harbor in April of 1863, the Keokuk took on heavy Confederate fire when less than 600 yards from Fort Sumter.  Taking more than 90 hits, the Keokuk sank the morning of April 8th, 1863 off of Morris Island.  Shortly after, the Confederate forces salvaged the guns from the Keokuk, working only at night, and were able to use the guns as coastal defense guns.

This paper model builds the USS Keokuk as either a waterline or full hull ironclad model.

Paper Model Details: Over 140 parts on four pages, including formers for waterline or full hull version, wire guides, bi-fold decking details, life boat parts, parts for a stand and two pages of instructional diagrams.  Degree of Difficulty: 4/5.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
