This has been discussed a Little on the Ships Forum so I would like to see who would be interested in a FlatTop GB. Any Scale and any Navy. Let us see a show of hands to get it going. Start Jan 2016 through to Dec 2016.

I always have a flatop or two in the stash, so it would be a good excuse to build one.
Thanks Scott. We need a few more who are interested to see if this one could be a goer......Cheers mark
I like the idea, but can't commit. I may be moving next summer.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
Thanks Gents for looking in. Iy would be great to see if we can get more interested in this GB.....Cheers Mark
Might be intrested, I will have to see how many GB's are still on my plate. Keeping a low count next year.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Thanks for checking in my Friend. Hope to get a few more Bites on this one.....Cheers mark
Not yet 100% on this, but just in case, do LHAs like the USS Wasp count?
No bucks, no Buck Rogers
An LHA would certainly fit in Allan.....Cheers Mark
Hi!
I might bite, will have to see where I'm at on a couple of other GB's but I have the Trumpeter Triconderoga that's been sitting on the stash shelf for some time now and it would be a break from the planes.
On the bench: So many hanger queens.
Ive been toying with this idea for some time now, and I have been able to get good top and side drawings, but does anyone have cross-section drawings for the HTMS Chakri Naruebet?
What is your kit, Bish?
I have the Trumpeter 1/350 CV-2 and CV-8 in the stash, but those each represent a one year plus effort.
I have the Heller 1/400 Illustrious about 75% complete; that won't do.

Trumpeter makes really nice 1/700 Harriers. See my Tarawa.
A light in the window! Maybe getting out one of the big 1/350 USN fleet carriers is too challenging.
Tamiya 1/700 Bogue, I like the idea.
GMorrison allan Ive been toying with this idea for some time now, and I have been able to get good top and side drawings, but does anyone have cross-section drawings for the HTMS Chakri Naruebet? Not me! But frankly, who gives a shotz? Build it and be proven wrong. Trumpeter makes really nice 1/700 Harriers. See my Tarawa.

Good point. Haha. Well lets see. Ill maybe try drawing up the waterline "keel" and then cut that out from sheet styrene, and then cut out the flight deck from sheet styrene and get a feel from there. Maybe.
I'm still in, I have a 1/700 CV6 that I am dying to build this next summer.
I have a good feeling that this might be a goer. Especially with the possible number of 700's that are being touted. Hopefully this is what you are after Allan.....Cheers Mark

Count me in for one.

Mark,
Actually I have that. And Ive printed them out to 1/700 scale. I was looking for hull cross section drawings as the hull sides appear to be at angles compared to the Wasp or Tarawa classes. But I think its still doable even without the cross section drawings. Just have to eyeball the pics.
I'm in with three. The Tamiya USS Bogue on 1/700, the Revell USS Franklin D. Roosevelt on 1/542 and the Aurora LHP-7 USS Guadalcanal on 1/600.
AM who knows?

I've got the Airfix 1/600 HMS Victorious. I was planning on starting it at the end of the year anyway, the other half has been nagging me for ages to build it as it was a birthday present a couple fo birthdays back.
Completed - 1/525 Round Two Lindberg repop of T2A tanker done as USS MATTAPONI, USS ESSEX 1/700 Hasegawa Dec 1942, USS Yorktown 1/700 Trumpeter 1943. In The Yards - USS ESSEX 1/700 Hasegawa 1945, USS ESSEX 1/700 Dragon 1944, USS ESSEX 1/700 Trumpeter 1945, USS ESSEX 1/540 Revell (vintage) 1962, USS ESSEX 1/350 Trumpeter 1942, USS ESSEX LHD-2 as commissioned, converted from USS Wasp kit Gallery Models. Plus 35 other plastic and wood ship kits.
I'm in for the Trumpeter 1/350 CV-3 USS Saratoga.
Is this just an excuse to buy the new Trumpeter 1/350 HMS Ark Royal. It might just work for me!
Lexington, right? I've got that kit.
DOH! I really meant 3, no really I did!
THanks Gents this will be a goer by the look of it. Start Date will be Jan 1 and will run til Dec 31. If it takes a little longer for some 1-350 Builders I have no probs in extending it. I will soon put Names and Kits up the top of the Thread soon.....Cheers mark
Cool
Have been away from my bench for a few months while doing "life stuff" after our move.
Finally getting around to setting up my basement workbench.
Several flat tops in my stash. Will probably pick WW2 IJN in 1:700 scale, mostly OOB while I get my build *** back.
Cheers
I got outbid on the Aurora Guadalcanal, but it got too expensive for me. Oh well...
I won an auction for the Revell Midway though, as the FDR and I am really excited about that. I also won an auction dirt cheap for a started CV-60, so I'm going to follow the article from FSM and replace the flat bottom with a full hull from the Sara. Anyone interested in the aircraft, we can talk when the GB starts.
And I bought the Tamiya Bogue. The plan there is to build a RN Escort carrier, something I've wanted to do for a while.
