Re-scaling a life boat. From 1/48 to G scale
I needed a better looking lifeboat for my Bristol Bay trawler (see my earlier posts) and the hull shape had to be just right for my purpose. That's when I happened upon a Glencoe U.S. Coast Guard rescue boat at a really nice price. I used [...]

1/48 Glencoe Spad XIIIC.1
This has to be a re-issue of a re-issue, etc. Copyright on the instructions reads "1995". The best part of the kit is the "invisa-clear" Scale-Master decals. This was another 20+ part kit that I built because it [...]
U.S. Coast Guard 36' Motor Lifeboat
It's Coast Guard Day, August 4, 2013!
I almost forget to honor the founding of my Service's birthday, August 4, 1790.
