Doesn't make any sense on their part since almost no one posts there anymore,only one build in the last few months, most builds are posted in the general or static sections. 

Most builds are just U-Boats and Nucs

Sub Pirates started doing that till almost the whole site was private. 

 

Glad to hear your filling the niche on more AM parts.Make a Toast [#toast]

What boat are you planning to build?

Grouper,SS214 - my 2nd Dad served aboard as a young Lt in 1957. She was "average in WWII, much liek the U557 I built of Type VIIC. I wanted bookend companion boats, and that match well. Means Measure 9 all black, a fairly darka nd dull scheme, esp for a display model, but more authentic. I hope to get some good weathering in.

I just discovered, thanks to Robert Morgan, that the very early EB Gatos (esp 214) had very cincave shutters, what I term "valey" - so my Mid Gato set will not do. I'm already working on balao shutters for sale, will also move to Valley.
