Interest survey - ironclads of the ACW

Any interest in kits of ironclads of the American Civil War/War of Northern Aggression (depending on which side of the Mason-Dixon Line you live...)? The monitors and ironclads of this period lend themselves well to laser production and come in a wide variety of configurations. BlueJacket already produces 1/192 scale kits of MONITOR, VIRGINIA, and CAIRO and I would probably maintain this scale as it produces a smaller, less expensive but sufficiently-detailed kit that would satisfy both beginner and experienced modelers. In 1/192, CSS ALBEMARLE, for instance, would be about 10" long and have the armor belts lasered into the panels.

Let me know what you think, plz.
