HMCS Charlottetown (FFH 339)

[Homeport]

We at Homeport Models have a new structure out of the Canadian Halifax Class Frigate.
We would like to thank a couple of people for there help with this project.
First off, the Men and Woman of the Canadian Navy For there help while docked in Boston Harbor.
Darren from http://www.hawk-graphics.com for his knowledge of this Class of Ships.
George from g.t.sitek for his outstanding work on the props and running gear.
So with that said lets get started.
This ship is being built using a Scale shipyard hull http://www.scaleshipyard.com/
Here is what our first production kit looks like.
In the first picture you can see how the board comes.
I forgot to take a picture of it complete.
In the second picture you can see the deck section lay ed out after a couple of coats of paint.
In the next installment we will start on the Bridge section.

Got some progress done last night.
Lined up the Bridge with the 02 deck.
Every thing went together well.
As you can see in the photos.
Next on to the mid section of the ship where the smoke stacks are.

For the next part of the build .
We start on the stack section.
As you can see here the stack is built like a block .
Start gluing the sides together .
If you do this right the other side should line up perfectly.
