The Original List, minus a few: Edgar Quinet, Othar Tryggvassen(Gentleman Adventurer!), Gearing, Invincible, Mackensen (SMS Graf Spee), Musashi, Baltimore, Takao, Evstafi, Tirpitz, Gorgon, Roma, Henri IV. Gorgon went to a good home, rank bribery to keep Chase driving down for battles. Lion, Bangladesh Dupree, and Koln off the list for loaner boats. After hearing about someone starting a boat-battling Explorer post (which is something Brian K and I had actually been kicking around for a few years), we decided to have more than one loaner boat. I may complete one and send it to the Explorers up north to battle with. Tirpitz hull is up for sale. If it doesn't sell, I'll keep Tirpitz and Musashi The 'Tugboat's Personal Fleet' list thus far: Malaya, Lil Scharnie
hey Clark, Let me know if you ever sell Lil Scharnie, I'll take her and You know she'll be taken care of Nikki
Beaver I wish, I already have to little convoys, my little LST and little Golo both of which are tiny at 28inch and 24inches. then I have artemis my 96scale shipand a almost build 144th carrier and a us Cruiser? And I a Pennys later on down the road (5 or 6-year) Nikki
He is going to build it, then run it with mine and we will cause untold mayhem & destruction upon the Allied fleet.
Well, if you want one in 1/96" scale I would think about drawing up the scaled plans. The biggest problem would be the setback in the ribs for the sheeting. all the other dimensions are either 1/4 or 1/8, so all the 1/4" parts would scale up to 3/8", the 1/8 to 3/16 (assuming a 3/16 stringer is legal, I am not up on 1/96 rules although only the L had stringers). holes and openings would scale..... but the balsa thickness cutouts in teh ribs would not. Holes for shafts would have to be scaled to whatever people normally use.... some work but not an entire redesign new... a quick scale up check showed that most of it would scale well, except the as noted balsa setback in teh ribs and the horizontal bottom of the penetrable area.... that would need extensive work to make work... Shipping costs would scale up too as sheets would be 15X45 out of 3/8 rather than 10X30 out of 1/4... so shipping weight would go up from ~10-12 pounds to ~40 pounds.. ouch. all of that could be fixed rather easily in 2d, with no 3d modeling required... I'd have to think about how much work it would be....
