My plans have changed for this GB .
I sid mention a plan for a 8 gunned half track for this..the vehicle is still in the mind but not the planned vehicle.
That was a WW2 12tonner ..I then realized it's completely built  :banghead:
And has been for yrs  ...so something else has taken its place ..that's hush hush for now  ;)
The reason as I'm waiting for a new kit to arrive so I can see if this will work .
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

So, no more the 8-gun Truck of the Line! Are we, perchance, moving towards a 12-, or even 16-gun Truck of the Line? :unsure:  ;)

Quote from: Weaver on November 01, 2024, 10:35:13 AMI have a solid pair of projects in mind for this. However I'm busy for most of next week, and then, since the Shelf Queen GB was partly my idea and I pushed for it hard, I really feel that I should do something for it, and it ends at the end of November (not December, as my faulty memory had it). So after next week, I'll finish something off first. Probably start the Polar Wars GB in early December.

Whaaat?? I too was convinced it ended un december. :banghead:

Hahaha 😀...nope ..still 8 guns ..still 8 20mm cannons..it's just going to be on a different chassis which is part of a different vehicle 🤔
Thinking about it ..it should actually be a better model and the even better part ..all 3 kits are brand new  :thumbsup:

Nope: confirmed by the mods on the forum discussion thread.

The Battles of the Bering Strait.  1800s conflict over the various isles between Alaska and Russia after the Seward sale.  I have a few sail warships added to an order I made that I can upgrade into sail/steam ice-hardened vessels.  US versus Russia, maybe include Japan and Canada!
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

It reminded me of the "things" used to farm oyster beds in Bretagne. Weird variety, haven't seen 2 of the same design.
