hi richard,seeing that i am a canuck,i was thinking that i may try a canadian navy ship .the two i am contemplating are a st laurant class d.e after a rebuild to a helicopter d.e ,or a halifax class frigate.the reason for going to a smaller ship i can increase the scale to 1/96.i am limited in length to 53 ins.my work area will not take anything bigger
st laurant would be about 46 ins. and a halifax arouind 53 ins.1 have went from 1/200 to 1/144 so i think a bigger scale would be a nice challenge and the older i get bigger things would be easier to handle
70 is getting dam close.(ps. i know the bigger the scale the more detail)
