I am itching to start on the 1935 era...Hi Geordie,<br /><br />I am itching to start on the 1935 era ships using the 1/1200th components and have already come up with a number of ideas for some ships. I like the idea of a KGV shortened to exclude the twin 14" turret so that it is armed with two quad 14" turrets - one at either end. I am thinking along similar lines for the other ships - shrinking them in respect of length and perhaps trading twin turrets for triples.<br /><br />The casting idea involves a lot more work to get off the ground and is probably a longer term project although if it works then it will have enormous potential.<br /><br />I need to get my ACW mojo back to push on with the last models as well as the ton of unpainted metal I now have!<br /><br />In my case all a list does is to prick my conscience and so any attempt at following the same is usually doomed to failure!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-1580617190251754142011-12-28T21:54:40.102+00:002011-12-28T21:54:40.102+00:00David
