Work is moving along on the USS Spruance. More detailed information about this project can be found in the http://www.rktman.com/rlh/spruance/index.html of this website.
I have an December 1997 issue of Fine Scale Modeler. In this issue, Al Kalbfleisch built a 1/96 scale model of CG-63 USS Cowpens. He used a fiberglass hull, plans and fittings from http://scaleshipyard.com. What caught me was how he built the superstructure. He built the superstructure out of basswood with sheet styrene skin that was bonded with Goop. Since I built the hull from wood, I thought that building the superstructure out of wood would be a good idea. I plane to use Midwest brand basswood, evergreen .010 plain sheet styrene and Walthers Goo® to adhere the styrene skin to the basswood.
Here are some quick pictures showing some of the building so far:
More soon.
