Merry Christmas Ship Club Family

I hope you all find peace and happiness in your life today.  

Best wishes to those who serve our country in so many ways.

And 

I hope Santa brought you all something special!

Sorry for the late update.  I'm very sorry I had to miss this meeting and Sam's presentation on kinetic torpedoes experimented with by Union forces during the Civil War.  I've hunted around trying to find information about these but to no avail.  Feedback I received was excellent.  Thanks, Sam, for putting on another excellent presentation!  Sam, if you can send me a photo I can add it to our blog.

John once again did not disappoint.  He brought a completed Destroyer Escort DE-99, USS Canon.  Correct me if I'm wrong John, but I believe this is the 1/700 kit from Skywave/Pit-Road.

 John also picked up a couple of additional kits from that well known modeling company, OCEANMOON.  I'm looking forward to seeing these come together!

First up the Imperial Chinese Navy Destroyer  Chien Wei.

Next, Imperial Chinese Navy Practice Ship, Kang Chi/Fu Chi.  

Finally, People's Liberation Army gunship, Brave The Wave.  

Finally Jerry brought in some detail parts.  He noticed that his US Navy CB-90 had zip ties holding cables in place.  Jerry found zip ties for model cars which actually work!  Nice stuff Jerry!

Next meeting will be January 5th and I look forward to seeing you all there!
