I know this is kinda newbie ??? but I do not have muchbuild time with model ships

Ok, mate, here's my two shillings worth...




I would check out Tom's Modelworks, Gold Medal Models, and White Ensign Models, respectively...




Take a look at your instruction sheet, and listed should be Testors MM numbers like these...(DML's U.S.S. Monterey (CG-61) sheet image used)



The numbers in the shaded area are Testors Model Master paint numbers...sorry mate, I don't have access to your specific kit instruction sheet at this time...




The base is an important part of the build, IMHO, and a great base really makes a great model shine...take a look around the site here in the gallery and features section for a good amount of base examples...they can be all wood, wood with brass uprights, or the kit supplied base...all your call, mate!

Hope this helped you some, Wayne, and don't ever be afraid to post a question here...we try our best to answer them all!

Thank you very much for the help
I will post pics as soon as I get under way
Thanks again
Wayne

Wayne,

If you check your local home improvement store in the lighting section, they should have something called a shade riser that makes an excellent pedestal for full hull ships.

Will do
Thanx
