Hi All:!
Sorry for my absense from these boards since my appointment as the warship editor, but alas, some major things going on at Trident that has kept me busy 24/7. I hope near the end of August, things will free up a lot more.
In the meantime, I have a bunch, and I mean a BUNCH of review kits sitting here looking for someone to do them justice. I have Trumpeter, Tamiya, and Hasegawa new kits plus some resin manufacturers. If you are interested in doing either an Inbox or build up review, please post here and let me know, we'll make arrangements to get the kits to you for review.
I need people who can pretty much take care of the entire thing, pictures and all. I'll make sure they get posted here asap.
Thanks again!
Chris

Chris,
I am interested in reviewing any nautical stuff in 1/72nd or larger scales with a special interest in patrol craft, landing craft, riverine and subs. Just can't handle the smaller scales anymore.

hey there, I am very interested indeed. I am curretly working on a Winston Churchill, and will post some pics in my gallary when I get home in a couple of weeks. I would mostly be interested in 1/350 scale, and have never worked with resin, so I dont think I could do a very good review.
I will contact you when I get back about reviewing if the offer is still on the table.
edit- Do you happen to have the USS Nimitz and its PE sets for review? I dont htink I would have time to do such a large project justice, but I am just curious if someone is going to get lucky.

Hey Chris
I'm interested also.
I could probably even drive up some weekend to pick bigger kits / stuff up. I live near the CT / RI / MA state lines.

I can handle what you need.
I can even do the review in English/Portuguese or Spanish.
I don't have too much experience, I am kind out of the box + modeller.
See ya

I've never done a review before, but I'd be happy to lend a hand on something OOB...can you advise what kind of turn-around time you would expect for somehing like this?

I can build the models, have a digital camera and know how to attach pics to an email. Am fairly well educated, so writing a review would be easy. Can build resin kits and add P/E. Would love to do some stuff. Especially 350 scale for my collection. Say....isn't Trumpeter coming out witha 350 scale of the USS Nimitz (hint hint).
