Hi guys: congrats on setting this up. How many members now? Were at in new england are ya?

 

There are seven of us so far but i'm sure more will come as soon as the ice breakers clear the chanels on the locoal ponds

 

it sucks being ice bound don't?

 

Yup but seing as I"m building my first ship its okay for me now my bath tub will do LOL i"ll let you know in another month

 

Bath tub? what are ya building that fits in the tub?

 

Well as soon as some of us out here in western Mass get our ships ready we wouldn't mind trying some inter club battles. Just so you know our ships are in 1/96 scale and use BG style wepons and armor might be interesting to see what would happen.

 

well i am waiting on my Baltimore class cruiser but i am scrach building a Liberty ship


Mark did don get in contact with you ln regards to that 1/96 scale

 

Fred, just looking at the page that has everyones bios on it and I noticed something interesting. You live in Lawrence, MA my family is origionally from there. You say you are a firefighter, do you happen to know a Patric Swihart, who I belive is retiring this year?? he's my uncle.

 

1/96 eh, I like the scale, give more of a range of ships to our 1/144. I have only 1 of the 1/96 hulls, an Ottawa II former g class dd from britan. It would be interesting to have a mixed battle of, big gun, small gun and 1/96, maybe a last man standing.

 

I think it would be a slaughter, the 1/96 ships are more heavily armed, carry more ammo, go faster and have a lot more volume to fill up before they sink, but it would still be fun is your Ottawa battle ready?

 

No its not ready. With a bunch of boats on the go, I have no time for it Under construction or refit is Scharnhorst, Tirpiz, Newfoundland, Fuso, Junyo, Prince Roberts, Pundua. the 96 has to wait with the 32scale stuff, and the 1:20 Battleship

 

A 1/20 scale battleship? your kidding, right? If I built my Yamato to that scale it would be over 43 feet.

 

yeh, but getting it to the ponds would be a real hassle, otherwise I'd be all for it

 

I'll have to build a scale torpedoe to launch at the beast and sink it lol.

 

with that sise you'd have to actually put some sort of "warhead" on it to do any damage

 

hey, powder monkey, you still around?

 

Its not that strange to have a large ship, it will be ( when finished )Scharnhorst scale is around 1/28 and ship will be 27'-6" long. Have already got 60% of the material as well as figuring out the paint ball guns for the main guns. This just doesn't seem that strange to me.

 

Let Curt have his torpedo, I'v seen him shoot, no problems here- He'd have to be sitting in it to hit it.
