People have often assumed I was interested in modeling ships because of my career with the Canadian Coast Guard. While I was in shore based technical positions, I did deal with ships, buoys, and lighthouses on a regular basis. Never happened - that was work and trains were for fun. The closest that I got to doing anything related to my work was a small lighthouse I scratchbuilt many years ago from some hundred year old plans we had in the office. It is on my latest pair of modules. <br /> <br />One aspect of my work that did influence me in a different way was flying around the area in our helicopters for my 35 years with the CG (I retired 3 years ago). I modeled several CG choppers and accumulated around 150 or so helicopter models. But they took up so much room when built and just became dust magnets so I only built a dozen or so. I still have an interest in aviation, but not in modeling it. <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau
