Good on ya Mike, looking forward to it.

More work on the ship. Folding PE ladders (they give you a jig to help fold them correctly), building tiny guns and the fire control radar (I'm assuming that's what it is).

Impressive work!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: 1/350 USS Buchanan
Which is actually a combined radar and optical director system. The “horns” on the sides are a stereoscopic optical rangefinder. If radar fails, the optical system can be used.

Re: 1/350 USS Buchanan
There are plenty of good books. You may want to narrow it down a bit... era, type, nationality... Ships is such a huge area for subject matter choices.

Re: 1/350 USS Buchanan
The various editions of Ships and Aircraft of The US Fleet are great for all sorts of reference by era. I had the 1977 edition and would love to get some of the more recent editions.
