Well, Lets hope some of the more active posters from the newsgroup who have just subscribed will ad a bit of content to the list. Until then - I guess your stuck with me!! I would gladly welcome any suggestions you have on the list, its format, and content (Yeh, How About some:-) and would especially like to encourage the readers to start posting questions and volunteering info - cos your gonna get tired of reading my postings - Real Quick! Once again, Thanks for subscribing, and lets try and make this the Ultimate Ship Model Builders Info Resource! Greg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) From: Tim Newell Subject: Who is doing the best price on The Tamiya Big E kit? >> Great idea! Although I am currently more into battleships at the moment, I'll probably end up with a big E kit at some point, especially if I run into a deal that I can't refuse. Which might be an interesting topic for the group: who is giving the best deal on the Enterprise kit? The lowest price that> I've seen (for a "new" one) is $125... << Now your talking - Battlewagons - What era? If your into the Iowa's, Montana's or Yamato's - Let me know - This is where I am Really Useful! As far as who is giving the best deal on the Big E Kit, well I'll have to leave this up to the subscribers. Greg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) From: Greg Subject: USS Constellation & Independence Photo's Available Hi All, Just a short note to let you know I have some nice pics I took aboard the Constellation and Independence, If you are interested, mail me direct at happymac@wr.com.au I will send them to you off the list so those who aren't interested, don't have to wait for them to download b4 they deposit them directly into the trash! Cheers Greg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4) From: Greg Subject: Reply to ModelerAl Hi ModelerAl, Glad you subscribed - I think we have talked b4? It was interesting you mentioned that the other list seemed to be about 90% wooden ship modelling, I had never heard of it until Don Stauffer posted a letter to the newsgroup saying people should subscribe to the "ORIGIONAL" ship list. I hope to keep this list mainly concentrated on Plastic/Scratchbuilt ship modeling, and to give the majority a usefull source of info.

Well if you dont like it - You Post a question! In My detail and scale book on the E, it clearly shows ONE door from the rear of the hangar bay out onto the fantail - yet the model has two - can anybody tell me around what time this modification was made as I want my model to be accurate for its period. Thanks Greg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- End of Volume
