Here is a well battled ship. I was going to be in the hobby but there is no group near me to help build. Here are the photos of the SMS Seydliz. Scale 1:144 Purchased From: Larry Dingle Asking: $200.00 Shipping: $60.00
RE: SMS Seydliz Thats a pretty good looking boat. Is it just the hull/super structure and drive train or are there cannons and pump and other random goodies with it too?
RE: SMS Seydliz John there is a battler in Chicago (JP Marino), I think Crystal Lake is in the Chicago area. I've sent you an e-mail with his info and also put him on to this site. Before you sell just know we have a very active MWC club in MN and WI. We'd love to have another guy from Chicago battle with us. We can help you get started. JP needs someone to shoot at.
RE: SMS Seydliz Hello: My name is John Marino (Jp to most people). I am a rookie MWC captain from Chicago. We don't have much of a club here in Illinois but I'm in the process of trying to put one together. If you are interested, please send me an email. We do have some great clubs in the surrounding states. Here are pictures from the Port Polar Bear Ice Breaker last summer in Minnesota: http://www.jpmarino.com/MWC/USSPensacola/Operation-IceBreaker2007Pics.html If you have any questions please don't hesitate to send me an email. If I can't answer them, I will find someone who can. Thank you, Jp
RE: SMS Seydliz I still have my Chicago. She is nearly complete. Need to figure out how to mount radio box, pump, weapon system. She has been out in the water so I somewhat know how she handles.
RE: SMS Seydliz Nice. I'd like to start scheduling regular club building meetings starting in late spring or early summer. I'm currently preparing to enter the market to buy a house - the 'regular' meetings will start once this is complete. In the meantime, we will have to improvise (find a meeting place or converse via telephone or email). I'm also currently looking for a suitable battle pond somewhere in the Chicagoland area. I have a few leads to investigate in early to mid spring. If you know of any ponds, please let me know so we can check them out. With any luck, we could also start holding regular battles in the summer months. Lastly, you may want to have your email address added to the MWC region 1 list. (Please see http://www.mwci.org/find.shtml for more details on the MWC region lists). Briefly, this is a 'forum-like' email system used by the MWC to ask questions, hold ship discussions, and advertise upcoming meetings and battles. Please let me know if you would like to be added to the list. Thank you, Jp
