Future Projects…

Building upon the skills I’m currently learning through the development of the USS Enterprise, there are numerous other vessels I would like to model. Though not in any particular order, I have illustrated the next few vessels on my radar in the images below. I would like to create a full model of the SS Leviathan, which was a German designed and built ocean liner that was taken as a reparations prize by the United States after World War I. Though she was launched only two years after the RMS Titanic, she was much more impressive in many ways, in my humble opinion. I also want to construct several “Lakers” that have note-worthy historical significance and help illustrate the “boats” I worked on years ago. I also have a good set of plans for the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) and would like to apply the lessons I have been learning to a vessel class similar to the original inspiration for this website.

SS Wilfred Sykes - 678’ length overall - Built in 1949 - Converted to Self Unloader in 1975
