Growing old is not for sissys!

Yep, I have to agree with that statement.

I've been going though Connie build logs and found them all to be very good, but this one, I'm very impressed.

I just spent the last 2 hours going through every single post of this build log and the detail and help was as amazing to read as watching this ship come to life. I know you said you are working on a case for it. Please, make it as grand a case as this build deserves one.

You can bet when you decide on your next build, I'll be lurking around

I have decided to go with the Occre kits and they should be here in a few days. Thanks everyone for the suggestions

Thanks Mike, I'll check it out

Thanks for the info Greg 

And there is the Echo cross-section scratch build as well - check that out!

I just got done checking that one out, seems like a great starting point for a first scratch build. I have a post over in Greg's thread there asking Greg a few quick cost questions

Greg,

 

Does the $275 price for the fitting out package also include the framing package?  Or is the $275 in addition to the $195 needed for the framing package?  Is the lumber for this basic sheet stock with the dimensional strips to be milled by the modeler?  Or does the lumber in these packages include the milled dimensional strips?

 

I'm trying to figure out what to do for my second build.  It's either something like this, or Chuck's Cheerful.

 

Thanks!

Erik

Greg,

I'm interested in knowing this as well. I'm itching to do a cross section and this one has been highly recommended to me from a thread I started in another place on this site

I'm thinking of the Echo cross-section as my first p.o.f build - my list of Christmas presents just keeps getting longer!!

Sounds like me, I sometimes buy my own christmas presents 

I appreciate everyones suggestions and it is pretty much what I found out that my options were limited, but I never considered a scratch build, hmmmmm the possibilities sound intriguing 

My apologies if this has been asked before and I suspect I might open a can of worms asking this LOL

I am looking at kits of cross sections and have not really found that many. I do have the Artesania/Latina San Fransisco cross section but I am looking for any that are even better. I have seen ones for the HMS Victory (bow and center cross section) and a few others,

What I am looking for is recommendations. I'm a decent intermediate ship builder but really experienced in RC Plane building (kits not ARF's).

I would like names of kits and the mfg of the kit. The plan is to do a cross section then the full version of whatever cross section I decide on and then display them together. It would be nice if the cross section and full kit are from the same mfg but from what I have found so far, that might not be possible
