From mechanical arms to painted numbers on the car deck, Josh Yeung91裸聊视频檚 ferry models display precision down to the smallest detail.

His latest model of the Kahloke - which provides service between Denman and Hornby islands - even has three flags at the top of the mast: a Canadian flag, a Province of B.C. flag and a BC Ferries flag.

91裸聊视频淚 did most of it with plastic and cardboard - it91裸聊视频檚 a little bit more flexible. Some of (the modeling) are from memory but I91裸聊视频檝e also taken some pictures,91裸聊视频� explained Yeung. 91裸聊视频淭he crew know me and my camera.91裸聊视频�

Yeung, a Grade 11 student, loves ferries. His passion for them began when he was five years old, and enjoyed taking the two-ferry trip to visit his grandfather on Denman Island when he and his family lived in the Lower Mainland.

More recently, he visited his uncle on Hornby Island where he saw the Kahloke - a ferry unlike any other he had been on. Since then, he has made the trip on that ferry about five times. He spends about two hours a day creating the models, but he doesn91裸聊视频檛 stop there.

91裸聊视频淚 pretty much just want to look at the different ferries and discover the details about each one,91裸聊视频� explained Yeung, who was diagnosed on the autism spectrum and attends an agile learning centre in Langley. Despite travelling back to his home on Vancouver Island, he is constantly planning his next ferry trip.

Yeung recalled a special trip to Port Hardy 91裸聊视频渢hat was pretty much centered around ferries.91裸聊视频� He spends as much time around ferries - taking photos, planning trips, reading books, and working on models.

He also visited Port McNeil where he met some crew members and chatted with them on how to find employment with BC Ferries.

Next year, Yeung is aiming to attend a maritime college to begin formal training, with the goal to start as a deckhand with BC Ferries.
