time for a scratch build... anyone want one?

[eckloss]

so its time i try a scratch build. if i do, id like to do something that perhaps some of you would also be interested in. if i do one worthy of release as a basic kit, it would be very reasonably priced. so i throw it up for a vote and to gauge any serious interest.

here are my possible candidates:

1/72 sturgeon
1/72 la flt 3
1/72 alfa
1/96 lafayette
1/72 lafayette (70 incher!)
1/96 resolution class boomer

[Guest]

1/96th Resolution is being released

1/96th Resolution is being released soon by Subtech (a reworked Ron Perrot hull, I believe). So you may wish to let that sway your decision.

[eckloss]

wasnt aware of that one.

wasnt aware of that one. but thats great, bc i love the look of that baby!

[Rogue Sub]

the sturgeon is being covered

the sturgeon is being covered aswell.
I would say a 1/72 LA but I am not sure how much interest you will get on these since they have all been covered I think....

1/144 Los Angeles (Flight I

1/144 Los Angeles (Flight I or II) too small for you, eckloss?

[wolfsong]

1/72 alfa would be nice..

1/72 alfa would be nice.. unless it is covered already as well

Here's something different, how about

Here's something different, how about Ethan Allen Class.
A bit like the Laff, I think the Laff was 425ft and the Ethan Allen was 410.

I have been given a Piping TAB for this boat, your welcome to it if you like. It has alot of detail you might find useful for a scratch build. I had been thinking of a scratch of this boat but currently cannot undertake the task.(lack of expirence)

I'll stick to kit assembly for the time being.

my 2 cents.

yes an Ethan allen would

yes an Ethan allen would look nice in my boomer fleet in 1/96

Matt Thor is talking about

Matt Thor is talking about doing a 1/72 Flt-III LA presently in a limited run. His old Alfa kit was 1/72 but is no longer produced. And Brian Starkes is working on the 1/72 Sturgeon.

[wayne frey]

Don't worry about the Alfa.

Don't worry about the Alfa. One is n the works in 1/72 and 1/96. Accurate too.
I will throw my two cents in and call for a 1/96 Russian boomer again.
Delta IV or Typhoon. It would make for a large hull.

[wolfsong]

1/72 alfa in works? i

1/72 alfa in works? i will look forward for that one..

so how about a 1/72 ohio.. sure would look nice next to my 1/72 typhoon

If one was thinking of

If one was thinking of doing a Typhoon I would go the other way and do 1/144 or smaller. All the Typhoon kits that have been produced except for a French kit I think are way to big to transport.
I think something of a more managable size would be nice, and still be a cool sized model. BD.

The French Typhoon is the

The French Typhoon is the same size as all the rest. KMB in Germany sell a 1:150 and a 1:100 Typhoon.

You are correct. I was thinking that was the French company.
I knew there was someone that makes one smaller. No one over here though. Actually only one from over here the old Copeland kit. At least all I can remember. BD.
