The Great British M1

[Slats]

Mike,
one thing I know about the BB guys here in OZ is that what ever shoots at them can expect a proportional level of fire - fair is fair.

Suffice to say there is no way I'd let my museum quality scale models near this crowd. Most ships here in the BB ranks look at home with what my three year old builds for craft - each to their own. Indeed why would you bother with scale appearance for something that gets the living daylights kicked out of it.

Its a great model and going to be even greater after David's hands have it.
Its going to be very scale and therefore not a target I'd offer up to the BB boys.

Where did the plans come from?

The M2 with the launch looked good, but that big gun Crack That WHip

It will be a basic hull, so far.

David is going to enhance the plug we pull from this mold. It should look pretty good when finished. It will also be capable of combat in the battleship games with a bb gun

Here are some photos

The last photo shows the M1 next to the Revell VII

At present, we have options on the castings as to where we make a cut line. We will probably not use the smaller upper hull as portrayed in the middle photo.

Good to hear, Mike. How much detail will you be offering on this new toy of yours or is it meant to be a combat sub?

The molds have arrived and they look pretty good. They're off to The Wizard in a few days to have him work his magic on them.

We have a new model folks! 1:72 scale and this makes a .177bb the perfect weapon for the Big Gun! We need some input from the warship guys.

Does anyone know where we could get a 1:72 model biplane that could be launched from the deck?:D
