Thanks Ed ... I'll check it out
 
Well fellers I know that the USS Arizona is a Pennsylvania-class battleship ... I'm having trouble finding suitable brass props for Her ... Any Ideals on G factors that may work ???

Hey Gerry, how's this build coming along? Did you ever find your brass props? These larger builds do take some extra time so don't let it get too far away on you.

Paul I don't know what happened ... probably financial troubles .... I don't even remember starting the Kit .... This may have been when My Mom was on Her deathbed, as the brothers say ... well she's been out and back in for the same thing .... she has dementia, and Her husband sleeps a lot so she gets dehydrated from not drinking enough water ... anyway I may reserve this for another build .... not a ship builder but I always wanted to be ....
 
Never fear Gerry, my 1/200 Arizona is on the shelf of "Later" as well. I have been thinking about it a bit lately as well, but it needs SO VERY MUCH STUFF CORRECTED that I just slide on to something else.

If you decide to restart on this build I will restart on my bigger beast though Laurence's 1/200 Bismark build has been tempting me to get back at it.
 
Paul I have a sack of old school loco's to convert to DCC .... I always wanted a ship model .... I also have the TexAs to do
... I want to do the C.C.S Texas too I have some display cases that need filling .... :captain

P.S. when the Hippie passed I lost a very good friend .... While looking back, he still lives ....
