    Well, it has been a while since surgery and I am now able to get back in the saddle again.

    This year at NATS, Wil Tustin had a Jean Bart and I was very interested in the ship. Since the Axis are starting to have large numbers, I have decided to build this billboard to see how it does.

    You can follow my build live at my virtual Workshop each day. I am normally on after 1pm each day.

    Let's get caught up on pics...

    I just need to adjust my channel for the pumps and she will get glued.

    They're big and they have dual sidemounts. The plan is to sink the enemy.

    Not sure of the specific battle plan ATM, but Bart can make magic happen with dual sides. She will absorb BB's less capable ships on the team can't afford to take.

    He forgot to turn his pump on until it was too late. Not sure why de dove into a QE with half a mag left on his starboard side mount.

    That was about 30sec into the start of battle. I was fully loaded and dumped the whole haymaker and all the sterns into. Someplace there is a photo of the thumb size hole I made with the haymaker. Plus some other nice holes. One pump wasn’t going to do it.

    You're half the reason I put a second pump in Idaho. the other half is Craig's Baden.
