Time has now found myself not only thinking of my next projects, but starting work on them also. The Aziz has been in the water and now has found a rest on display in my living room. For sometime I have been wanting to build the DD-963 USS Spruance with the VLS. Now that I have the BaD Ship Models kit out of storage, I've been toying with the idea of changing it into the USS Spruance. I have a Scale Ship Yard hull to rebuild the CG-52 USS Bunker Hill. Any ideas from you guys on this?

The BaD Ship Models kit will take allot of work to bring it into a more "scale" repensation of the DD-963. Not that this was not to be expected, but the BaD Ship Models build models that are "stand off scale" or "sport scale" and do not have the details that I enjoy. This means that I will have to add them.

As for the USS Bunker Hill, I will start working the stern tubes next week. I need to make new ones because the ones I got from Sirmar had a too large of a gap between the tube and shaft.

I've been building a bit on the DD-963. I had to redo the main deck and have been building the superstructure. I posted a few new pictures of this build in my Blog "rktman56's Projects". I welcome you to take a look. Just click on "Blogs" on the top menu and then click on "rktman56's Projects".
