Hehe... You laugh but HT said there may be big battlewagons in AH. So seeing the 'Argo' may be a reality someday.

Remember, the Argo was the recomissioned Japanese battleship, the "Yamato" the biggest battleship built at that time. I am looking for the tech data, but I believe she carried 12 18" guns (457mm).

Can you imagine the shore pounding with that kind of firepower?

Oh, forgot to add, the slower boats with bigger guns will do more damage, and the guys driving the faster boats will complain about it, historically accurate or not!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Dat was a cool show, but it came on a 530AM here. Happened to catch on Sci-Fi a few times before the dudes that made it switched over to making that dopy "Max Steel" show.

"I hope sharks are going to be modeled"

I wish it was sharks that we had to fear.  I'm afraid if you hit bail out over water you're only going to be a quick snack for the dreaded flesh eating, blood sucking sheepfish

A group of guys I worked with last year wanted to buy the entire set of Starblazer videos. It was over a $100 I think. Unfortunetly we never got around to doing it. Damn I loved that cartoon as a kid...and still am fond of it.
There are a ton of websites dedicated to the show. Here's a link to one of them: http://www.primenet.com/~kosh/YAMATO/yamato.htm (http://www.primenet.com/~kosh/YAMATO/yamato.htm)
