    As of now, I and a buddy are planning on being over there in saranac on 9-30. 10am? Look forward to seeing the hobby in action. Be nice to see/touch something to get the fire burning. How many will be there battling you think?

    Just looking at some of these ships people build...Cannot imagine coming close to those lol. Do you have any for sale? I noticed your 'battle ready' comments near your ships that aren't marked sold.

    Sounds good. Has anyone ever done a USS Pennsylvania? Sister-ship to Arizona from what I understand. I don't even know what hull kit youd use for that...pry something huge though.

    Arizona and Pennsylvania more or less had the same hull, especially in 1941. Strikemodel's arizona can be used for a Pennsylvania.

    Bravado bravado. Such big talk. The Axis are nothing. Join the Allies if you like being on top of the water. The Axis sink so easy, not to mention pretty. ;)
