    Hey I am fairly new to this hobby, and have experience with RC aircraft so I figured I'd give ships a try! I'm about 1/6 the way done with my first ship, which is scratch built. Thats bout it.

    A Iowa class battleship, the USS Missouri to be specific since I know someone who served on it (In 1984-88, not WWII) plus it has such an exciting and eventful history.

    I'm thinking treaty, but I'm having issues finding the rules list (grrrr) but I did the scale that everyone else is doing on here so I should be ok until I get to the gun systems and electronics.

    In the files area of the Treaty Yahoo Group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TreatyCombat/), there's a pdf copy of the 2011 rules. Pop in over there and say hi as well if you haven't already. Their Yahoo Group is an active group, and there are also a lot of Treat members here on RCNC.

    You are in a pretty good location for getting into the boats.
    The Buckeye Battle squadron is in Newark. Fast-gun.
    And Treaty, and Battlestations is over around the Dayton area.
    We all have busy build-session, and battle schedules.
    Welcome aboard..
