To any and all interested in the "DreadNoughts" Campaign -
Garrybeebe, our Campaign Leader, asked me to post this here in the Campaigns forum to be sure everyone gets a chance to see it. So here's the offer -
Over years, I've "collected" a number of 1/700 "Waterline" WW II Battleships made by Tamiya, Hasegawa, Aoshima, ESCI, Revell, and since I'll probably never get to all of them, I want to offer a "donation" of any of these kits (first come, first "keel hauled", I meant served) for the Dreadnought Campaign. So for those that haven't done a ship model before and just want to try it without major expense, or looking for something different, or maybe a companion to that 1/350 version, or just because, send me a PM and I'll see if I can match you up.
These are all "older" kits mainly purchased in the 80s, and I have more Japanese, then US, or British, or German but most all that were in WW II. They're all "stashed" in a packing box and I still have to locate/open up it to see exactly what is there. I can give a partial list in a PM now if you want, based on memory or wait a little while til the my Spring cleaning starts in earnest in about a month for the complete list. "DreadNoughts" is still months away before we can even start, so I figure to take requests now and send them out as I locate everything. Will this work alright for you? Let's have some fun!

Blade48mrd is the man!!
He also sent me very nice figs and kits for my dio,
Wouldn't mind having a 1/700 ship or two. But my ship collection is more of 1/350h scale.
