rshousha got a reaction from grsjax in RMS Servia unfinished model for sale - 65" long.
This wonderful model of RMS Servia was started in the 1960s or 70s and was never completed. About 90% of the parts to finish the model are available. I was hoping to get this model finished for my own interest, but time passes, space is limited, and interests change.
She was started by Wolfgang Buce, of Maine, and is available for pick up for $1000 USD.
She should be in a Cunard office somewhere, which was the original intent for the model but, again, time and interests change.
Shipping this across the US or Canada is possible but crating and shipping charges will run easily over $2000 USD.

That is an impressive model for someone to complete, Rick. I hope it goes to a good home/workshop. My own plate is more than full, I'm glad to say!

That sheet line, ouch! It's always like that; 99% perfect and that pesky 1% has to jump out at you!
This is amazing work. I can't get the smile off my face. Wonderful stuff!

Mainmast continued…
winches Cleats and things…
Adding Striping tape for the rail…
O-Rings to attach sails…
Attaching Mainmast Great Shrouds…
Covering the cable to turnbuckle connection with heat shrink.
Great Shroud connection to the Mainmast…
Tightening the Great Shrouds with the turnbuckles to align and support the Mainmast.
Mainmast completed w/boom… Ready for Fore Stays and Flying Backstays.
Here are few closeups of the Topping Lift, Out Haul and Sheet Lines.
Looks like I need to move that sheet line block forward on the boom. Why is it you find your mistakes in front of everyone on MSW. 🙄
I’ll fix the sheet line tomorrow…
Cheers 🍻

Hello Jim,
I think the concept of "instructions" that come with a kit, is overrated. With YouTube, various other fora, and this one, you can find some really nice build logs of just about any model you might want to build. Instead of asking the question, "which manufacturer has the best instructions", I would focus on the subject you want to build and look around and see if there is a build log that suits your skill level.

Our industry is very small, whether buyers, sellers, or manufacturers. If we want to encourage some small manufacturers to invest in machinery to make products locally, we have to lead by example, and buy locally-made products. Otherwise, if we are always looking for the cheapest solution, manufacturers will have little incentive to invest, create jobs, innovate, and feed our industry.
