Remember I said one of the two models I bought to put together,
well I say that everytime I come home and look at it on the desk.
It too small for me also but one day it will be done. Some of
the hardware maybe in different places,asroc forward etc...
The best ship model I ever saw was at the National Hobby-Toy
Convention in Chicago 2-yrs ago. The ship was "The Sullivans"
I believe thats spelled right. I don't remember the scale but it
had to be 8 ft long and about 5 1/2 ft high ( top of mast )
all from scratch just ausome!

Hey Wes, what's a urinal. Remember I live in Georgia. I just aim at the tree in my backyard.

Coop, We have to use urinals here in Wyoming when we are in buildings. I don't know why. The rest of the state is pretty much wide open. It helps if you turn your back to the wind though.

Gentlemen,

If you will go to the below url and wait for it to load. Then do a find on 'Cochrane', you will find that you can buy 43 feet of blueprints corrected to 1988 for 90.00.

PREMO,
You stopped too soon on that lead. If you clip that URL back to the Maryland Silver Co. home page there's a link to BaD Ship Model Co. Search for:
Kit Number: BSM-DGA $232.49
Charles F. Adams class Destroyer in 1/96 Scale.
Length of 54 5/8"; Beam of 6 1/4".
Make it a couple fractions of an inch longer and Voila! ... DDG-21.
Cheers,
John

I thought that some of you would be interested in this one. I received this email the other night from. His latest email says that he already has a Tug and is building a tanker so he can do UNREPs. He is also building a pier. Now if only he could make the weapon systems operational[]
