Still have to recover my jaw from the floor ... Hubert

Bumping this one up. Do not hesitate to make me an offer. The lot will go, one way or another , before me moving to my new house mid-september. Hubert

Well guys, the donated kits are gone ! That was the easy part 😆 , even with shipping costs to cross the world ! Don’t hesitate to ask me questions or make me an offre for the other kits Hubert

Hi Alex, no worry. I got your emails, and your kit will be on his way this week. Thank you again !

Yes, thanks for the reminder. It went without saying for me, but it is always better to repeat it 🙂 ... I got some PMs already. Thanks for watching. Hubert

Hello all, As the building of my new house progresses and the prospects of moving there get nearer (this is hopefully my -2 or -1 house move, the next ones being to the crematorium with maybe a intermediate stop to the elderly home), I have to decide whether I will move all of the stash with me. The honest answer is no, because I will certainly not build everything I have. So I am selling some plastic ship kits. Shipping is extra, at cost, from Portugal to anywhere in the world. I will try to minimise the parcel weight without compromising the content, but you all know that postage costs can now kill a seemingly good deal. Payment is via Paypal, or, for European buyers, alternatively via SEPA banks transfer if you prefer. I will check the content before sending the kit and asking for final payment. If the content is not complete, I will not sell the kit. Therefore, I don't believe a return is a viable proposition. Some kits are really old, and the box shows it. Do not expect to buy collector-pristine boxes. I always believed (how self-delusional can one be ?) I would build all of them, and never had a collector's approach to these. I am open to (reasonable) counter-offers and grouped deals, but no trade. This is to free some space after all 😉. 1) Merit (Hobby-Boss) 1/200 Mikasa 1905. Sold I have a duplicate of this one, having subsequently bought the 1902 version, which I am keener on owing to the color scheme. Asking price : € 100 2) Revell 1/96 USS Kearsage. An old, and I believe OOP kit. The box top, in typical Revell fashion has taken some beating, but content OK. Asking price : € 60 3) Hasegawa 1/350 "Soya" Antartic Research vessel. Asking € 40 4) Eastern Express 1/350 Borodino . € 30 5) Zvesda 1/350 Cruiser Varyag. € 15 6) Otaki 1/36 (?) "Miss Tahiti" Ketch : € 30 7) Revell 1/160 Steam paddle-steamer "Goethe" : € 25. Box typical flap opening flimsy carboard, so battered just by looking at it 😐 8- ICM 1/350 "Grosser Kurfürst" WWI Battlewagon : € 20 9) Heller 1/600 Queen Mary 2: € 20 10) Glencoe 1/400 (approx) USS United States: € 40 11) Revell 1/350 SMS Emden : € 10 12) Revell SS Oriana (rare OOP liner ship). Scale approx 1/500. € 20 13) Lee 1/500 SS Brazil (ex-Revell molds). € 20. Instruction sheet is a photocopy of original, which was missing in my box. 14) Airfix 1/600 liners. € 10 each: * SS Canberra * RMS Queen Elzabeth II * RMS Queen Elizabeth 15) Airfix 1/160 (?) Great Western steam and sails liner . € 20 16) Revell ship kits. € 10 each* 1/350 Hawaian Pilot cargoship * 1/380 N/S Savannah * 1/400 Oil Tanker "Glasgow" * 1/471 Hospital ship "Hope" * USS Burton Island ice breaker 17) Revell 1/570 Queen Mary. € 15 18) IMEX Cargo ships. € 15 each * 1/400 MS Nedloyd Bharain * 1/450 Cargoliner Trinidad 19) 2 very rare ITC kits ship . Boxes old and worn. Don't expect collector-pristine condition, but nice kits kits when built * "ATLANTIC" 3-masted schooner. Charlie Barr's Atlantic-crossing record holder for 70 years. Asking € 40 * "Corsair II" steam yacht. JP Morgan's famous 1930 yacht/commuter. Asking € 20 20) Pyro "Blockade Runner" mixed propulsion. € 15 This is a 1/96 scale (I believe, but not too sure) kit of the famous Revenue Cutter Harriet Lane. Box shows the age of the kit. 21) Revell 1/125 "Calypso" research vessel. € 30 The kit was later renamed "research vessel" without the "Calypso" name, owing to a licensing conflict with the Cousteau foundation. 22) Giving free to a good home, but shipping on top. Gone ! * Imai 1/350 tall sailing vessels : Mircea, Nippon Maru, Juan Sebastian de Elcano, Cutty Sark * Lindberg Russian Missile tracking fishing trawler. About 1/140 scale, model of a North Atlatic fishing trawler. Box sound but grease-stained * Lindberg Motorized shrimp boat (1/60 ?) Please don't hesitate to ask me questions and contact me. Hubert

I pressed the « like » button only in your last post, but it’s just laziness from my part, because all your posts deserve the « like » ... Impressive woodworking and metalsmith talent ! I am in awe ! Absolutely love everything you have done so far. Keep it coming ! Hunert

Wow ! Another master lesson 👍 ! Hubert

I have been away for a couple of weeks (focusing on other projects like having a house built, until everything - including my own company - came to a grinding halt), but the feast for the eyes (well, mine at least, as I can imagine some of the strain on yours sometimes ) on returning is always so great ! Picking up my jaw, my chair, the popcorn and waiting for more Hubert

Errrrr..... WOW ! Hubert

Impressive work. I am going to sound a dissenting voice, but I like the picture of Jupiter better. It would contribute to make the whole set-up more realistic, IMHO. Hubert

What to say other than I am in absolute awe of your machining skills and ingenuity ? Excellent work seems a bit lame for a compliment. Hubert

Another amazing build and fantastic detailing. Love what you have done with this one ! Hubert

Amazing work continuing ! Hubert

Fantastic work, as usual ... Hubert
