Hello All,
We have 4 signed up. I know that at least 9 members wanted to do this campaign, So lets get this one approved. Tell everyone you know about this campaign, I am thinking about doing a British Wooden Ship with iron sheets mounted to the hull, How about the rest of you?
Thanks Harv for doing this campaign, So I will have to do that wooden ship I keep talking about.
Cheers,
Bruce

Thanks for those of you that have signed up. Hopefully there will be some others.

Guido "Tailor", I want to go ahead and use your ribbon design if that is ok with you. I think it turned out cool. Please let me know.

Thank you for the help Bruce. I am sure that I will be picking your brain a lot.

Thanks everyone,

Hi, HARV!
Of cause I down with that. Check your inbox and contact me off-page.

For subjects I am contemplating a few options right now. The least inspired thing would be the Combrig Dunderberg kit I have in my stash, but I am trying to figure out a few other options right now. Among them is a scratch built 1/350 Huascar or something completely different



Lets wait and see

6 Players now and count'n ...

Cheers,
Guido

Thanks Guido for letting us use your ribbon. It appears that Gunny already added it to the campaign main-page. It looks pretty cool there!!!! Thanks for the help Mark.

Thank you guys, I appreciate all of the help.

Hello All,
We have 8 signed up so far. Lets not let this one get stopped, OK.
Think about anyone who has expressed an interest in a ironclad and get them to sign up.
I seem to recall that a female builder was talking about doing one, Any ideas who she was?
Lets get this one in the GO section.
To all that have signed up, Thank you.
Cheers,
Bruce

Hello Kelly,
Welcome to the campaign. I could not remember if it was you or Terri that wanted to do a ironclad, thanks for letting me know which one it was. Sorry about my bad memory.
Again Welcome to the campaign,
Cheers,
Bruce
EDIT: We have 9 signed up. There has to be 1 more builder out there to join up. Any ideas? All suggestions welcome.

Come on, mates!!

We have to have at least one more builder out there who wants to participate in this campaign!

Don't be shy, sign on and build a model with your MSW maties!! It's a great way to learn about new vessels, era's, and the like, and most importantly, a great way to make new friends...What are ye' waitin' for?

(BTW, welcome aboard, Kelly, it's great to have a bonnie lass joining in on the fun!! )

Cheers,

Aye maties,
This campaign is a go!

We've hit the minimum amount of entrants, (but there's room for PLENTY more! (hint-hint) ), this thread will be locked, and an official Campaign thread will follow!

Let's get ready to build those Ironclads!

Cheers,
~Gunny
