My collection/stash revolves around some sort of theme, which got me to thinking… Of all categories of scale models I would think ships offer the best opportunity for theme if manufacturers chose to tackle. Unlike aircraft, for the most part and armor, vessels hand down names and titles.
How about a line-up of Belleau Woods, or New Yorks or Midways in 1/700 scale?
I am partial to 1/350 myself… but I do like the theme idea[;)] that would be neat to see the full USS Enterprise line… We already have the latest one… now just the previous ones…[whstl] CV-6… CV-6… CV-6 or the Yorktown…[6]… The Royal Navy has great possibilities here… Ark Royal… Illustrious…
British cruisers.
Zuiho…
I’m hoping to get Dragon to do a Cowpens CVL so we can offer it with a Tico class cruiser and have the “Mighty Moo Two-pack” [:D]
What got me started on this is my efforts to do a Texas line-up in 1/700 scale. I have the CSS Texas (Ironclad), USS Texas BB1, USS Texas BB35, USS Texas CGN39 (actually the Virginia CGN38) and now await a manufacturer to release USS Texas SSN775. Hobbyboss has done a 1/350 Virginia SSN774, so hopefully they will scale that down.
Already in the Texas line-up is a potential for a Virginia line-up.
If your doing Enterprises, how about including the test space shuttle Enterprise and (dare I say it?) the Star Trek Enterprises NCC 1701 A B C D E …?
Sorry I just had to add that.

… and take it the other way and include the sail Enterprises.
Absolutely!
