old stuff update
Hi All;
A friend sent this today. He took it at an exhibit at the USS Constitution Museum. Its a scratch build of the first Canadian corvette RCMS Agassiz, that I did in 1998. The model is mostly sheet plastic, but with metal, brass, some old modified scrap kit parts as needed. The mine sweeping floats are modified drop tanks from an F4 Phantom. The only real commercial parts are the chain and cordage. Part of the mine sweeping winch is old watch gears. I suppose that someone could say they are commercial, but it was done according to the principal of "use whatever works." It was such a homely ship that it was fascinating. Holds up pretty well for its age.
Regards, rjccjr
