    Long time interest, barely started building a Swampworks IJN Myoko a few yrs back...had built the hull w/o any sheeting.. sold it on ebay.. in the past I have built bunches of plastic models, mostly aircraft (some ships & subs too, mostly 1/700 "waterline" stuff) but also balsa free-flight and rubber powered gliders/aircraft and an RC aircraft. I'm handy w/tools.

    Hi TorpCruiser, is there anything in particular you have in mind? I will be away for the next month-ish, but after that my garage will be open for build sessions every Saturday. New construction, old ship refits, whatever. Current projects in the garage include resheeting a pair of Fast Gun predreads, building a Big Gun heavy cruiser, and refitting several Big Gun ships with new cannons and other upgrades. If you're not sure, come to a battle at cle elum. A little meet-and-greet with cannonfire goes a long way.

    Haven't really decided, wouldn't mind finding another Myoko.. it'll absolutely be IJN. Most likely a Destroyer or Cruiser. Would love to check out some battle action.

    I’m out in Snohomish! I’m just starting an Adm. Hipper class ship. I have a strong desire to redo my Bismarck.

    I have a good size garage if you want to work on Ships.
