Thanks for that Sascha.

@ Russell, the ship stash was only small until about 2011 when I finished my first 1/350 battleship and I have been collecting furiously (that was collecting furiously) ever since. It has now blown out to 94 ships, all but seven in 1/350/ Wonder if I will ever get to build them all... I think I am playing at collector and builder!

Ok, I'm in! I have a 1976-issue Yamato from MPC that has been in the stash for far too long...


I've never done one of these campaigns before... What are the rules? Can I start now?

I am going to join. Since I can't figure out how to see the earlier thread this question may have already been answered but what is the status of battle cruisers in this campaign. I ask because I have two of Fisher's greyhounds but no battleships.

cheers

Count me in. I have not built a ship since High School, but I have been adding a few to my stash over the past couple years, and have always been an avid fan! Not sure what I will pick, but I have three in the stash, with accompanying aftermarket brass, all in 1/350:

Zvezda Knyaz Suvarov
ICM Grosser Kurfurst
Zvezda Dreadnaught

OK I've just signed up, what BB I'll build is undecided at the moment but I have just brought the 3 Trumpeter 1/700 Littorio class ships and will be picking up the 1/350 Roma soon.

Mind you I do have the Kombrig 1/700 HMS Canopus pre-dreadnought so I may do her.

Lets see if I can complete a campaign for once, I always tend to have something else on the bench by the time the campaign starts .

Hello Sascha,
are PreDread's allowed? I have a few with the King Edward VII and Lord Nelson as the top 2 in 1/350.
