Hello.
My Dad was in the Navy during the Cuban Missile Crisis and always told me stories about the navy days. I think that is what got me started building warships. So I started creating my own. I am local to Boston, and I build and supply kits of 1/96 scale modern warships to hobbyist, and companies that are interested. I laser cut the details into the decks and bulkheads for vents, tie-downs, and windows. Plus I have a set of etch for railings, nets, and ladders. There is more, but I could go on forever. Currently, I have 4 ships for sale in kit form, a Perry Class (FFG), and Burke Class (DDG), and a Ticonderoga Class (CG). We are working on more for the future. These are R/C ships and I sail as much as I can. You can see photos of these on my site. The reason I am putting a posting on this board is to show off my ships, and also to make some connections with people that are on, or have been on some of these ships. I am also looking for more information about the current navy. Stories are always good too. So, please take a look at my ships online, and let me know what you think. If you have any questions, please email me at eric@sputnikk.com Thanks Eric Homeport Model Ships www.homeportmodels.com |

great looking boats! looks like a lot of work went into them! Any thoughts about battleships?
SEMPER FI The Gunny PROUD TO BE AN INFIDEL I prefer to think that the chip on my shoulder gives the monkey on my back something to play with. I have to exercise early in the morning before my brain figures out what I’m doing. “The Meek shall inherit the earth….after I’m through with it.” |

I do not have a battle ship, but a friend of mine has one. Its about 9 feet long, and a monster to transport. Eric Homeport Models |

I'll bet it is! I'd recommend a modified jetski trailer for transporting that one!
