Hi Guys,

How are you? Hey - listen; last night I had a hard time going to sleep (the past few months have been stressful for me, family health issues and my inability to find a job and the like)...

So, I was lying in bed ... and something came into my mind; the late war AGPs (the ACOUNTIS and the CYRENE [I believe Don Rickles was a crewman on the CYRENE]) ...

Could you use the 1:350 Trumpeter JOHN W. BROWN as a basis for one of these ships?

I was just wondering .............

Garth

I was just told that these AGPs were not LIBERTYs or VICTORYs, they were C1 hulls - which were different ...

Hmmm, Don't know - to me - they LOOKED like LIBERTYs or VICTORYs ....

Oh well. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug I guess.

I like that phrase. Or to put it another way: some days you're the statue, some days you're the pigeon

It looks like Cyrene was both shorter and wider than a Liberty, and with a lot of detail differences above the deck as well:

Yeup. Scratch that idea........................

Sean,

I'll tell ya, ....

More and more of late ...

That's exactly how I feel.
