Barry's USS Spruance DD963
I have seen several WIP ship builds in tribute to Barry, but not his Spruance. I have never built a ship from paper before, so I hope I can do a passable job. I started by printing everything out, and building the hul frame work. (Pict 1&2) I found that it was to large, the framework extended out past the decking on all sides. I had to reduce the framework by 9% and rebuild it. (Pict 3&4) So far, so good. More next time. The date from the cam is wrong, I had to buy a new battery pack for it and didn't set the time.
