Holy crap.

I remember when you started this project.

I really can't wait to see your finished pictures.

Please take good pictures.

Your ship happens to be my favorite American battleship.

Great to see such an exquisite conversion.

You did an incredible job Hank. Not only on the build but also with the documentation of the build. I have only just started reading through the thread so much reading ahead. I want to thank you for the great amount of effort put into documenting. Building such a large ship with the quality you achieved is a major undertaking, documenting it as well made for a huge time commitment.

Greg

Greg,

Thanks so much for the kind remarks - always welcomed!! It was, for me anyhow, a personal adventure - as is my current build USS STODDARD (DD-566). The problem today is that researching ships from more than 50 years ago is getting to be a real challenge as resources are sometimes elusive, but necessary.

I wish you luck with your build - feel free to contact me regarding any questions. Just for the record - the kit is NOT great, there are hull problems, but...they can be overcome.

Hank
