Thank you! Your Suffren has also been a influence for me. Good work with a scatch build!
Im not sure which format yet. So ill build it to match all the formats up intill i cannot. For now im going to the leave the rudder and skinning off. Same size pump as the drive motors.
Ill have to see what is in my area

 

Hey Tumor,
What part of the Windy City do you hail from?

I travel to the Nortwest burbs several times a year.

Welcome to the hobby!

There are several MWC guys in Chicago. Ethan was ROY at NATS 11. There were having building meetings at JPs house, not sure what their current schedule is.
There are also a couple guys in Cedar Rapids, IA. A couple in central WI and a very large group in MN.
Two of the MN captains have Baltimores, not from your kit, completed. One new guy is also building one.

 

Build meetings? That would be nice, get to learn stuff from the pro's. I wouldn't mind drivin outta state for a game as well

 

Hi there Tumor! Welcome from New Lenox, Il..... good luck on your build, looking forward to seeing it!
