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

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

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