The first one is a synonym for galantry and the second is the ship that I saw and made me ship-crazy at a greek encyclopedia....

Fine choice... cant wait for it.... :woo_hoo: :woo_hoo: :woo_hoo:

Dang it, you gave it away before I could vote. Of course I was right and already knew the Helena was a likely subject. You need to give us slow folks more time Ron.

While I have enjoyed the other builds, especially the USN ones, this one will be my favorite. It is after all my favorite ship. Let me know if your lacking anything Ron. I have some decent ref material on that ship. I assume it will be 1/96 as usual.

It was that Jimmy Conway far to clever, yes it will be 1/96 , gives a model size of 6ft -4 inches.

I have the profile for HELENA CL50.

Some very good photo,s of the ship, 27th june / july1 st 1942 A4 size , very sharp.

Also a large set of drawings of the Faired Lines and off sets of CL47 Boise.

also the shell plating drawing of CL42 & 47.

Our deepest sympathies to our friends the Canadians. Cadman mis-identified your flag for a Jolly Roger. It's our hope you won't hold grudges and will continue to use this board.

I am looking to build USS HELENA CL 50 in 1/96 scale , It depends on what drawings our friend BILL brings with him, it could be any one of the class, we will decide then ,

Hi Ron,
if I'm good, you are better!!! Wish you a very nice modeling with USS "Helena", and I think it will be some nice matter to work with.
How could I forget such important information you gave me some time ago?

Yes Ron, we talked about this ship in that thread!!!
Hope that Bill bring the drawings, it will be very very interesting to see this model coming into life!!! When I saw BNS "Tamandaré" ( Ex-USS St Louis) for the first time in the 70's, I got a lot of emotions.....
Now we'll have the opportunity to see the model starting from the very ZERO, it will be great!
And Ron, if I can choose or vote for a ship, could you please select "Helena", for a lot of reasons? It is a historic ship with high meanning for the US, the design is wonderful, it has a female name..and so on!!!
Nice regards: Jimmy

canadian lighthouse - 1 & us navy carrier - 0.

DDP - I believe that is only a joke... originally it started out as the Montana, which obviously was never built...
