I have always been intrigued by Eisenhower's "Atoms for Peace" plan and this was an interesting contrast to the Cold War.

Nice to have you aboard , Steve. Looks like an interesting ship.
BTW, Mark what are you planning on building. I am sure you have plenty of kits to choose from.

Thank you Harry.
I'd would have loved to have built the 1/350th Edmund Fitzgerald, but seeing that my pockets are not that deep, I will content myself with the Savannah. To quote Lucky Jack Aubrey, "She has lovely lines and is a fine sea bird."
I look forward to this project.
tschuss until then.

I forgot how to say goodbye in Portuguese Rui....sorry bro.

Hmmm, tugs, lighters, etc (so many to choose from!

Assuming the LHS still has it I'm going with the Glencoe 1/48 USCG rescue boat. It even has figures and a base with it.

That looks like an interesting build Roger! I sort of wished I had the Revell North Atlantic trawler, that's another one I've thought would be interesting to do.
How's thing for you these days? I haven't had a chance to talk to you in a long time. I hope things are much better for you than they were a year ago or so.
Great subject Roger!

Kenny, Kenny - bull's eye, mate
C'mon Mark - we are pulling your leg
So.... what's gonna be???
Rodger,
Nice choice, and I never realized that the Glencoe model had a seascape - it should make a dramatic scene! As Steve said, good choice!
Interesting the choices made so far - and I guess that this would make a colourfull Feature with all the entries - so, guys, give your best!!!
What do you think as Campaign Leader, Harry?

This should be interesting with all of the different subjects.
This will be the first time I will build one of my own kits, the C3 Freighter.
