Ok Seamates, here is my Flattops campaign proposal before I submit it to be ok'ed.
The starting date will be January 1, 2006 - with an ending date of June 31, 2006. (with an option to extend for 2 months if need be.)
The subjects can be of any era, nation, or scale of your choice. And diorama's are welcome!
So before I turn this in, are ya'all ok with this?
Best regards,
Garry

I can live with this. I have the Nimitz, Hornet, and Enterprize on hand right now with the Lexington enroute. I'll just go ahead and start the Nimitz as my 2005 personal project and do one of the others for the campaign. So consider me enrolled. Hear the North Carolina is due in June, but I still think I'll do the Bismarxk for the campaign. Believe it or not, I have space for all these monsters. I did some radical rearranging last weekend and figure on this set of shelves I cleared out I can put a non-nuclear A/C and a BB on. I've got another room with an unused dresser drawers that will handle the 2 Nuc's Oh yea and two shelves on my model wall for about a dozen more 35 scale tanks. The benefits of a 3 bedroom house with only me living here

Hi Bjorn !

Garry:
I could get in on this. I have the TR Hornet & a whole bunch of A/M & things & reference material to convert same to the Enterprise -- I think probably '44 version. Effectively this is a double conversion -- most the stuff I have will convert the Hornet to early Enterprise, but I'm gonna use scratchbuoild & other things to then convert the early Enterprise/Hornet to the '44 Enterprise.
I like 2006 start date 'caue my bench & mind is full.
I can't commit until I see what things look like in late summer once I clear my bench & get started on my resin NC for Dreadnoughts.

Ok folks, I just submitted the flattop campaign for approval . AS soon as I see it on the campaigns list, I will post a Enlistment thread on the Campaign central command forum. Then we can start entering the campaign officially!
Now lets get this flattop turned into the wind!
