Pinenuts Posted August 2 #1 Posted August 2 Hey thought I'd introduce myself. I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada, and work in a shipyard. Figured what better hobby to enjoy after building ships all day long than to come home and build smaller ships lol. Been picking up tools and odds and ends for a few weeks while waiting for an HM Sherbourne kit I ordered from Vanguard to arrive. Looking forward to building said model and chatting here and there. Cheers Keith Black, druxey, SaltyScot and 4 others 7

Your knowledge and experience may be of big help to us all. I work on the arctic offshore patrol ships at the moment, a few years from now we'll be switching to the river class destroyers. Not sure anyone is modeling the AOPS or type 26s just yet. Maybe someday! I do see you completed a Bluenose build, and I did have the pleasure of seeing some of the Bluenose II refit awhile back. That was done about 45 minutes away from the yard I work. Edited August 3 by Pinenuts CPDDET, jerome and Keith Black 3

Your log actually just saved my bacon about 2 hours ago trying to figure out why some stern parts weren't fitting well. Cheers to you for that! palmerit and Keith Black 2
