 | | 31 Jan 2011 04:57 AM | | All Ralph is asking if there is any interest in some fiberglass pre-dreadnaught hulls. If you have an interest in any particular pre-dreadnaught, please let us know. Also let us know if you would be willing to pre-pay for any of them in particular, as this will probably be instrumental in determining which hulls do get made. Thanks. Mikey | | | |

| | 02 Feb 2011 12:16 PM | | Coincidentally, the next class is scratchbuilding a Deutschland! That's just the hull, so it won't be dragged out like Eddie Q.
Personally, I'd like to see USS Virginia BB-13... you gotta love the superfiring turrets! For most Fast Gun rulesets you'd have to mount the BB cannons in the lower level of the turrets (main guns), but it'd look so cool!!! (You guys should know by now that I don't pick ships for tactical advantage ) If Ralph does Deutschland, I'll do the class on Virginia. But my cardboard-framed Deutschland is 2/3 sheeted and almost ready for glassing | | | Battling: SMS Scharnhorst, SMS Baden
Building: HMS KGV (Drives, pumps water, guns are in but not plumbed)
MN Edgar Quinet (Hull done)

Plus 20-odd other projects, according to my Boy Scouts who thoughtfully counted them for me. | |

| | 02 Feb 2011 05:42 PM | | Here' s a list of Pre-Dreadnoughts you could choose from for the following Countries. With some mods to the rules to allow these ships a sidemount or 2 they should be fun and competitive to use. The Micro Technololgy today is making it more possible to out fit these ships much better. Austria-Hungary: Radetzky Chile: - Capitan Prat France: - Danton Germany: - Kaiser - Deutschland Japan - Fuji - Mikasa - Kashima - Satsuma Russia - Petropavlovsk - Peresviet United Kingdom - Majestic - King Edward VII - Lord Nelson - United States of America - Texas - Maine - Virginia - Mississippi A good round of choices here and all very interesting ships to build. | | | Bismarck

| | 03 Feb 2011 09:26 PM | | MWC now allows 1 sidemount in Pre-dreds that have over a 72 ft beam. Frank has battled it the last 2 battles here in Florida, it runs well, and is a great turner with the dual rudders. Mine still need the internals installed. Just seem to have a lack of time, and will lately to get much done. | | | Its better to give than to receive.

| | 05 Feb 2011 12:12 AM | | Is that Maine the BB-10 or the one that blew itself up?
I would like to add the USS Connecticut.
A vote for any of the Royal Navy Predreads.
Also for the Italian Regina Elena class.
More armored cruisers would be sweet too. | | | Vive la France! | |
