We talked about this at miniatures night last week.

Interesting general fuel for conversation. Your thoughts?

Iowa class battle ship.

Edit: Turns out would be over 50 feet long, wouldn't fit in the pond.

LST (landing ship tank).

Edit again: That one is still over 20 foot.

Landing craft tank, under 10 foot.

Well, as I already have all the parts for every tank that used the 17 pounder bar one, it would have to be the Comet :D
