    On Saturday, Phil brought up the fiberglass hull for the HMS Kent class cruiser that somehow magically showed up in the mail. It is beautiful.
    He is planning to build is as the HMS Suffolk, so that he can run it during our expanded version of the battle of the Denmark Straits.
    Now we just need someone to build the HMS Norfolk!

    So it would be cruiser vs cruisers and BC and BB vs a BB.

    You shared? Well, I guess it is more fun to shoot them off when they're not on your own boat :D

    Made from plans and photos of Goeben, Moltke and Derfflinger but probably a searchlights a searchlight all the world round.

    My original design theory was to print the bases in nylon and the light itself could just get shot away, just slip a new one on to the base
