| He sells mainly Japanese plans, with a few others (some Brits and US come to mind). Pretty sure he doesn't have any WWI Germans, sorry. I'd love to see a Westfalen in any scale, just to see it :) | | | Battling: SMS Scharnhorst, SMS Baden

| I'm rather surprised you didn't see a Westfalen in the MWC. We had one in the IRCWCC that was just nasty. It was my lest favorite ship to battle against, ever. It would turn on a dime, stop pick it up and make change all the while unloading the fastest guns I've ever seen. It had a set of custom stainless cannons in it, driven by servo and poppet through push buttons. The ship had almost NO penetrable area showing.
I tried to keep as far away from it as possible.
People talk about how awesome VUs are, but they had NOTHING on the Nassau in my humble opinion. | | | HMS Invincible

| Most of my battling has been within Region 3, and I don't know if anyone has a Westfalen down here. We've got at least one Konig, but I think that's as close as we get. | | | Battling: SMS Scharnhorst, SMS Baden

| Paul B had one at Nats last year, but set up like a I-boat, suffered from lack of fire power. But it can turn very well. I think my PE would give it a run for its money.
This year 2 have signed up for Nats. | | | Its better to give than to receive.

| been doing a lot of planning on this one, trying to work out how to build the 5" gun mounts so that they can have 90deg of rotation and have the max depression allowed and I think I've got it (will post a drawing in a few weeks when I have acess to a scanner) will also include the mock-up of the rocket launcher guns | | | |
