About Cottage Industry Models: Cottage Industry Models has dedicated itself to manufacturing historically accurate resin model kits of the Civil War era with what has become an extensive line of naval vessels and siege artillery.

Mr. Blackmore's work has been on display in various Civil War museums in the South. Model Specifications: Before the C.S.S Hunley was the C.S.S Pioneer. A privateer 2 man submarine, completion was done in early 1862. Although very little is known about her activity, she did sink some vessels during experimental tests. Measuring about 30 feet long, she was partially owned by B.F. Barrow, brother-in-law of the famed H.L. Hunley. Before she could attack a Union ship, Admiral David Farragut captured New Orleans and she was sunk to prevent her from falling into Federal hands. The Pioneer was recovered long after the Civil War and was transferred to her present site in the Presbytere Arcade, Louisiana State Museum, New Orleans, Louisiana. Kit measures approximately 12" inches when complete and contains about 12 resin parts (plus some brass parts), and is relatively easy to build.
