How to Make Model Ship Building Safe
It is important to observe some rules to make sure that your model ship building hobby is safe. As such you should ensure that:
• You wear protective clothing, and if working outdoors on your model in the summer be sure to use sunscreen and wear a broad brimmed hat to protect yourself from the sun.
• Treat accidental cuts and bruises immediately to avoid them getting infected.
• Don't sniff the glue... for too long.
• Make sure to clean and store all your model ship building tools and equipment in a safe place where they are easy to reach when you need them.
Last Word
Retirement model ship building is a happy hobby that anybody can enjoy. Whether you choose other activities like growing fresh vegetables, or beautiful flowers, we know you will find model ship building to be an enjoyable way to spend your retirement years.
Above all, have fun and enjoy the ship model building experience. No matter what your children say to you today about your new hobby (best just to ignore them), they will appreciate your effort years from now.

April 2011 Newsletter
The Build: As many of you know, I am currently building the Bounty from Artesania Latina. This is the one with the open side. Like any model builder, I felt that the kit was good but needed more detail. In addition to the latrine and plant room, I have added a workroom, carpentry shop, kitchen, sleeping quarters and stores. At the rate I’m going it looks like this will be a three year build instead of two years.
Specials: Just in time for spring, Cast Your Anchor has dropped the price on a few Radio Control Boats. The Phantom regular price of $152.95 is now $119.95, the Top Speed 2 hull regularly $175.95 now only $129.95 and the Air Streak with a regular price of $479.95 is offered at $299.95. If you are in the mood for building a radio control boat try Midwest’s Fire Boat, regular price of $277.44, now only $199.95. And for the last time the Bluenose Plastic Model kit from HobbyCraft Canada regular price of $59.95, now only $39.95 while quantities last.
Fittings: Cast Your Anchor has the best assortment of model ship fittings out there. Customers have told us that they come to us for the hard to find fitting. We like to think that if it’s out there we’ll be able to get it for you. Another service Cast Your Anchor provides is that we never cancel back orders unless instructed to by our customers. You’ll get your parts - it might just take awhile.
Nautical Gifts: Check out our line of nautical gifts at www.castyouranchor.ca. Just in time for the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, all of our pirate paraphernalia has been put on sale. Get something for that wee pirate in your family while you pick up your model ship.
