NotDaMama Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hmm... a valid excuse to build a battleship. This will drive Mrs Mama nuts as there's no more man cave space anyway, so count me in! Now to find the biggest warship in the stash in anticipation... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though as 825 junior plays American Football for the Portsmouth Destroyers and it's a long time since I built a ship, the idea of building a Portsmouth based RN destroyer is beguiling. 825 I never saw you as a navy kinda guy .... a ship would be good, I intend to build my first one if this gets off the ground! cheers both, your names are on the list missed you there notdamama I will add you now!!

Beard Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I suppose it'd be a good excuse to do a Seafire. Count me in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hi Rob. Only just seen this one and it looks like you have the required number anyway, but I have something suitable for this GB, so could you please add my name to the list? Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Seafires, **** yes, an 1b and a 2c pair from HMS Formidable in the Med. As soon as AZ/KP delivers them, as promised 👍. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Stix it would be an honour to have you along! V-P the more seafires the merrier I say! My build ideas deals are so far, HMS Belfast and I would like to do a pre and war time swordfish.... however this is all subject to change....and the GB even getting through.

PlaStix Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Hi Rob. To answer your question at the bottom of the list in the first post - I'm pretty sure it's 30 to be in the vote at the end of the year.

Rob 2CVs are amazing but I don't think they can hover! I'm intending to do the load not the egg-beater About 60 were brought in two batches for Albion and Bulwark. Used by the Royal marines in Malaya. Basic pick-up and an FFR version. They tried them as weapon carriers but the 2CV suspension made that a well dodgy idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOUND IT a rather nice build as well. There's a replica on the UK show scene which got me thinking. It seems a bit mad even for the Marines..... The French mounted a 13mm machine gun in something similar. I'd have paid good money to see that firing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this GB might be the perfect excuse to build the forthcoming Airfix Sea Fury (or possibly Sea Hurricane)...although I might actually tackle something that floats (probably an RCN Flower-class corvette or a WWII era US Navy fleet submarine in 1:350). ...Or maybe a Willys Jeep in USN Shore Patrol markings just for something totally different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Or all of them!! though I wouldn't follow my advice, I have a habit of biting off more than I can chew... all great ideas! Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
