EdwardZ Posted January 9, 2023 Share #1 Posted January 9, 2023 Hi All, After having couple speed build videos completed on my YouTube channel, I got my first sponsored model kit, the BB605 RCMP St.Roch 1:72 scale from Billing Boats. This was an advanced beginner kit and should be very straightforward. The plan was good but the instructions could be better. The kit was well packaged and so far I did NOT see anything missing. I will keep the build log coming and as usual to film the entire build process and upload to YouTube after done. Hopefully, my build log and final video can provide some help to anyone who likes to build the legendary boat model. Thank you and good luck building!

EdwardZ Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted February 2, 2023 Hi all, I am making some progress on my St.Roch build. Certainly it is doubled the work with filming and building at the same time, but I think the final video will be good. I think I just developed a new hobby while I was enjoying another. I also paid a visit to the Vancouver Maritime Museum and took some pictures of the real boat last Friday. RCMP St. Roch was very famous boat back in the 60s and 70s, unfortunately, only few people were there the day I visited. Maybe some new technology could be used or involved to attract more people to the museum.Hi all, I am making some progress on my St.Roch build.

ccoyle Posted February 2, 2023 Share #4 Posted February 2, 2023 That's a treat to see the real thing in person! P.S. When copying and pasting text, look for the 'paste as plain text' option -- that eliminates the tan shading.

EdwardZ Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share #5 Posted March 1, 2023 I have finally finished my BB605 St.Roch. I think the final result is very good. It was a fun kit to build. I really enjoyed the process. Please check out my speed build video below. In the video, you will find: - Unboxing the kit, - Building key parts of the model, - Short visit to the real boat at Vancouver Maritime Museum. Hope you will enjoy. Thank you and good luck building to all! BobG, Harvey Golden, Paul Le Wol and 4 others 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Golden Posted March 1, 2023 Share #6 Posted March 1, 2023 Beautifully done! I've also been aboard, and it is a great museum to visit. Did you make any changes to the model post-visit? I like the sled-- was it in the kit? -Harvey Knocklouder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmctaggart Posted March 13, 2023 Share #9 Posted March 13, 2023 Great job. This one is on my list to tackle, though I have considered scratch building instead of a kit. Thanks for sharing. Sincerely, Gord EdwardZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
