Dear All,

Let's see if I can work out how to put messages on the board! After a little while lurking on the site and chatting to Peter Ffulgoney and Rui at Telford last weekend, I've decided to jump in and start playing!

I'm going to do the Combrig USS Chicago , same as Jim Adams. That will give me an excuse to take it out of my stash where it's been hiding for a couple of years. Also, I've never actually done a white hull before, so that should be interesting too.

I had previously thought about trying to back date it to the three masted, fully rigged configuration, but there seem to have been some armament changes that I have no info about, so I'll pass on that idea.

No photos as yet, as I'm just sitting at work at the moment, but they'd be exactly the same as on the previous page, so not a lot of point.

Right, let's hit the "yes" key and see if it goes on OK.

Regards,

David.

David,

Welcome to MSW.

Glad you decided to stop by. It will be nice to see another Chicago being built. Are you going to paint her in the white scheme or gray?

hello all,
@Peter,
looking great and thanks for the great tips.
@Jim,
you are right this campaign has gotten alot of interest.makes me think about a Predreadnought Campaign 2.maybe Early 2010.
my ship is still waiting in the wings for drydock space.
cheers,
Bruce

Attention USS CHicago builders.

I need some close up pictures of the ship. There are a few questions about parts and stairway locations.

Any help in that area would be very helpful. Only spent about 30 minutes on her so far, but she is going to be a challenge.
