I put some information about this famous Canadian ship in a previous thread.

RCMP St. Roch background and my finished build [COMPLETED BUILD}

I thought some of you might be interested in a famous but little known vessel called the R.C.M. Police. St. Roch. The ship is just over 104 feet in length, beam 24 feet 9 inches and draft 12 feet 6 inches with a displacement of 323 tons. Before I go much further, and especially for my Canadian...

Great build - Congratulations for this model

Thanks Uwe. Over the past few months I kept telling myself it was complete. Then I’d add another small part. So then my question to myself was “when is enough, good enough”? So by submitting it to the Completed Models forum I can force myself to say “it’s done”

@shota70
Thanks very much for your comment. This Billing Boats kit is a very relaxing build. It was a good way to practice airbrushing too!

A fantastic job, congratulations

Thanks for your comments @Oskar27 , it was one of those builds where you work quietly away then down tools to read more about the ship and crew. A fascinating part of Canadian heritage,

Thanks Marc. On the subject of history I took a look this morning at your build of the Bluenose. You did a wonderful job.

Excellent job. A favorite the St Roch

I really appreciate your comment, thanks. She is certainly an intriguing little ship.

Yes Marc, the Vancouver Maritime Museum. She was declared a national historic site in 1962 by the federal government.

 

[Highflight]

Thanks Grant, I really appreciate that. The little ship sits on my bookcase amongst a growing library of ship related modelling books. When I do my shipboard “planned maintenance” (blow the dust off ) I remind myself that each completed model adds to the building experience in our hobby. Now, after reminding me it’s 18 months ago, I have to go and find the compressed air can.
