So I decided on what I want to build. Just not on a start date. I want to build the USS Kidd DDG 100. Does anyone have a lead on a quality kit. I know I will have to outfit it specifically for the Kidd. I got stranded in Chennai India and got to sleep on the deck of the galley. Super cool ship. Thanks in advance you guys have been great.

Thanks for the advice gentlemen.  Jake is the short name. I have been looking at POB builds and want to get all the main skills, rigging, planking, painting, fabrication.  I agree no large scale builds. I'm sea duty on the USS Nimitz. I have already learned alot just by reading through the build logs. Do you reccomend the starter kits that include the tool kits?

Good day all. I just wanted to say hi, and thank you for adding me to the group. I have not yet picked up a kit but I'm doing heavy research at this time. I'm active duty Navy and I know I have limited time to work a large project. If I cant complete it prior to my next duty station move, I will have to package a partially completed project. With these duties ad a very curious 3 year old boy, I don't know if now is the best time to start. I'm a finisher and could not just let a project go. My boy and I just put together a plastic model Cessna and it was a challenge the entire time. I'm open to any advice you all have. I love the work that I see on the site and it is incredibly encouraging to know there is a forum like this to get help and inspiration.
