No, it was a Ranger from my CAFSAC days who mentioned it.

Final coat of primer today....I'm pleased with that I think. Compare how the bow looked originally.... Next week should see that become blue...and gray. Shaft lines will get installed....she's gonna look PURDY!!!!

One of the SK subs was scheduled to visit Canada in the next couple of months, wasn't it? Imagine if they sent it over to start training crews right away....? That'd be a stunning tour de force....

The first is in Dockyard in the BLog CO's office. The second is in Ottawa with the RCN Command Chief - should end up in his office at some point. They were discussing making a glass display case for it. This one will end up with a rotating gun (built the servo mount yesterday) a functional...

The Type 26 project is moving along well - the 3rd hull is now assembled, sanded and has been given a layer of fiberglass resin. This one is the first that I expect to see the pond - the previous models were static ones that will not be getting wet. I did some design adjustments on the S-92 as...

We are not quite yet at the 'perfect is the enemy of the good enough' point....or are we?
