XNView is a great program for doing all that stuff and it is free! It has an automatic re-size option that is excellent.

I've been side tracked on this project and I think i'm going to make the Johnston in 1/100 scale. Right now I've been working on an enlarged version of Lou Coatney's Samuel B. Robberts because my dad and I have been wanting me to make a Tin Can out of soda cans. Also the ship my grandfather was on the Essex class carrier Valley Forge. I want to make out of soda cans. so it will be a little while till I get back to this project.

Now I have another Iron in the fire I've been working on plans of my Dads ship the sub tender USS Simon Lake (AS 33). I'll try getting some pics of his ship on here later.
