I like the Egyptian barge. Something very different. All of these are really nice builds. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for posting the pics.

Also, thanks for sending the ones you took of my vendor tables. When you see a photo of yourself, you really know how old you look.

Thanks for the images.

There's what looks like a larger than 1/230 scale 4 pipe destroyer done up as the HMCS St Croix.

I have the Revell 1/230 Campbelltown kit I want to do as the St Croix.

Was the ship at the show indeed larger than the Revell kit?

I was actually able to read the sheet on the right in the original photo. It's 1/72 scale believe it or not. It says scratch-built & conversion. The ship behind that one is also a scratch project so perhaps the same modeler?

Wonderful ship models as usual for a national convention! I also like seeing the recent kits like the MAS rendered as completed projects and am impressed with the very small scale dioramas like that PT boat being towed.
