I can't think of any other hobby more exciting then this and I'm looking forward to building my own combat ship. I have a few questions if anybody is willing to share there expertise. Is there any groups in or close to chicago or wisconsin? Also I want to start building a ship but I'm having a hard time finding places where they sell parts for these. I found Strike Models but there in a middle of a move so they arent selling anything at the moment. Would a local hobby shop at least sell the hull? Any information would be helpful and my email is - so feel free to send me a message. Thank you and hopefully I'll see you guys out there!
Check out portpolarbear.com We are the MN & WI guys. There is a group in Chicago too. I can send you their contact info. Or you can look at the mwci.org web site on the links page. battlersconnection.com is the other parts supplier. Some stuff can be purchased at a hobby store. but not the hulls, guns, pumps...
Welcome Nick; Are you in Chicago or the Burbs? Do a search of the members list and I am sure that you will find several folks in the Chicago area. I have a few more yearts left here in Virginia, then I shall be moving back to the NW burbs.
Im from the very southside of chicago that borders Merrionette Park and Oak Lawn. I've been looking around the site like you said and have found alot of great info and friends from chicago and the surronding area. By the time you move back to Illinois I'll have some experience under my belt so hopefully Ill see you there. Thanks for the info
Welcome aboard Nick. Strike Models is now open. I received my first order since their re-opening on Monday. Give Stephen Morgret a call for any questions that you may have. He has been very helpful for me. Ken
