Happy Easter to all. I'm celebrating by launching these two ships into my collection in their respective Navies.
First up is the US Coast Guard Icebreaker Eastwind, a Revell box-scale kit from the 1970's:
Followed by the Fujimi kit of the 1/700 scale modern Japanese LST 4151:
That's it so far, I expect a few more ships making their way down the slips soon. Stay tuned and thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
Thank you guys! I really appreciate your comments and support!

Nicely done Mark! I looked up the Eastwind and saw that she had quite a history. And was built in San Pedro!
"Surely I have made my meaning plain? I intend to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I have deprived your ship of power, and when I swing 'round, I intend to deprive you of your life."
Thank you Carlos! Yeah, I was reading about it too while building and yes, it does have quite the history indeed. Having been built in San Pedro was icing on the cake.
