Work is moving along on the USS Spruance. More detailed information about this project can be found in the USS Spruance Project Area 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 The Scale Shipyard. 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:
