My static display fleet includes CGC CONFIDENCE & VIGOROUS in 1:96 scale, and Columbia Lightship in 1:48 scale - all scratchb uilt.  The r/c fleet includes CGC CHEROKEE in 1:96 scale and CGC TAMAROA in 1:48 scale, both from Scale Shipyard.

Scale Shipyard also has some nice looking resin accessories.  I just bookmarked it.  These hulls will be in my next update.

Thansk!

What is your Coast Guard connection?

Ok, it took me forever and I know wveryone has been waiting breathlessly...

I have linked pictures of my completed models into the site.  I also updated it with models that others pointed out that I missed.

Did a couple of posts somehow get deleted from this thread?  I thought I made one yesterday, and one - which I think was from this thread - got forwarded to my e-mail.  Unfortunately I deleted it from there, so I can't be sure.  But it looks like something funny is going on.  Probably some sort of computer glitch - maybe at my end.

Nope, I thought so too, but there is also a post under aircraft that has those posts.

I wish someone would do a plastic kit of the WW2 83 foot patrol boat and a plastic kit of the POINT Class cutter ..............

Guess it would have helped to include the website, huh?
