  1. i expressed my interest to Andre, had one exchange of messages and he went radio silent. Andre, is everything alright?
  2. Bob, thank you for the praise. I liked building this model, nice and simple. I substituted sails for the paper bag as i a)could not find the set i purchased b)fabric is too thick for this scale. c)i like the way it looks. i will finish this model. Trouble is, i was forced to move household and do not have a dedicated modeling room anymore, heck i dont have a dinig table. No space!. current stage is: all paper parts used. Currently hanging main sail, will make the yard and a sail for fore-mast. Finish the rigging and make some small enclosure. Almost done to be honest.
  3. unfortunatelly yes, i did sell it. i am so sorry i did not mark this sold. making change to title as soon as i finish this reply
  4. I have been given this kit a few years ago and it has been sitting in my stash ever since. I dont build plastic models anymore and since i am moving the house i need to make space. kit is unstarted, no parts bags opened all sealed. Opened to take a picture that is it. will accept offers ranging around 45-50GBP still goes for 65-70gbp on amazon and other outlets. i will post free in UK, postage to abroad paid by the buyer, same as customs or any other fees. any questions just ask. oh and there are no addditional enhancing packs coming with this, i never planned on building this beauty.
  5. well, probably best he has the model under the glass cover now. that is the reason why everyone covers theirs, to protect from environment
  6. erm, you wont mate. sadly Dan passed away recently so there wont be any work done on any of his models.
  7. how is this kit build going on? i hope you did not get rid of it, it would be such a waste...
  8. Since the scale is so small i was looking for a good substitute for the sails that used to be sold as extra for this model. Obviously out of stock so had to look elsewhere… behold, the new sail stock… feels a little… vaxy but takes glue and pencil. Stiff enough to hold the shape. Easy enough to work with. As its paper, all holes had to be reinforced with superglue and drilled with 0.6mm drill to take thread.
  9. Everyone, i am back the kit was dormant for some time, mothballed for the times i am in the mood again. i dusted her, cleaned som spider webs and looked up the instructions. i think i am getting the hang of all this sailmaking and hanging the spars whatnot. appologies for quality of light but its 8pm here and as its winter time its dark outside.
  10. if that was corrugated cardboard, it certainly wont work in this case... the original construction pieces did not account for the extra thickness.
  11. ah, for that price, it does include the book and the plans, am i correct? if so, id take it...
  12. Is it this one mate? https://ancre.fr/en/monograph/103-le-rochefort-yachts-de-port-1787.html#/langue-anglais
  13. Everything in the box is in remarkable condition for its age. This kit is of a first edition as per the number on the box. there is a small handfull of parts taken out of their frames. Box has got one corner damaged and a small piece of the damage on the top of the box from the tape. The water transfer sheet is present and undamaged. Instructions and a warranty card present. i dont have a slightest clue of what this is worth i just know how much i paid a week ago. As long as i get that (or equivalent in other means) i will be happy.
