    Ian M's Battleship/Destroyer. GB Idea

    I would like to propose a GB for Battleships. Any nation, 1/350 and up....
    Now I know these things can take a long time to build and paint so I was thinking of throwing it right open and have it run for the whole of 2017. If that's to much then six months would probably be enough....
     


    We have a few ship builders on here so what's the general felling about this idea?

      I was torn between suggesting this or a 1/35 boat....

        Although I'm not a ship builder, I'm kinda interested in this idea Ian. Put me down as a provisional

          If this goes for a year then I might be tempted, I've never built one before. But can you define "battleship"?
          On the bench: Airfix 1/48 Sea King HC4, Revell 1/24 Trabant.
          Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.
          Just finished: Airfix 1/48 Stuka & Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4.

            I think this would be good I've always wanted to build a ship maybe an rc conversion to. It would have to be the later part of the year for me though.

               battleship: A large armored warship with a main battery consisting of large caliber guns. 
              Think along the lines of Dreadnought and there after; Bismarc, Tirpitz, Hood, Missouri.... That kind of thing. Not assault ships, Aircraft carriers etc.

                    If it runs for long enough I'd be tempted.
