    Was actually looking for 1/144th scale for treaty, will have to discuss a 1/96th scale with Mikey, as it would have to be a two or three piece ship for me to transport it.

    OK, the last thing I need for the Mogador is a pump. Recommendations? Not sure what my best option is. Thanks.

    You want a small pump for a destroyer. Try the Strike Models small pump with an ESC to get the flow rate down to what is allowed for your weight class. You can use a small cheap ESC with no reverse for the pump motor.

    Looks like I will be spending as many weekends as I can at Mikey's build sessions. Just came to an agreement with him on taking over the 1/96th Prinz Eugen. Planing on having it on the water before winter, and armed for next season over the winter. Mikey has done an amazing job on the hull so far. I just had to have it. So main focus will be on it and a Graff Zeppelin for treaty next season. Once those are done, I'm thinking I400 may be an option.

    It will be home ported in Mikey's shipyard. Receiving lifetime drydock service. Now I just realized I have no desire to find out what that is going to cost me, lol.

    As far as the GZ is concerned, it is something that several club members have expressed a desire to be added to the fleet. I have no local battle site as of yet, so have decided to join the club in Ohio. May end up moving up that way. Who knows.

    I don't know, there is this fluffy White crap, that falls out of the sky and makes people drive like 10x idiots, where without it they drive like 3x idiots. Either way I get to dodge idiots all day. Lol.

    Is anyone still interested in this format? The gun designs are out there now. Would be really nice to have some competition. Or I may just have to make an unarmed scaler out of this P.E.

    People don't know how to drive on snow and ice here in Texas, traffic interstate traffic is known to come to a halt with DPS closing down the highways.
