Dear Friends,
I’ve decided to thin the herd in terms of kits that I don’t believe I’ll ever get to. All of these kits were acquired second hand and are all open. All have been carefully stored in a temperature/humidity controlled environment during my ownership, none have any showing of being exposed to moisture or smell musty in anyway. Prior to putting up this ad, I do perform an inspection of the kit to ensure that they are materially complete. This includes a detailed review that bulk heads, deck furniture parts, and instructions sheets are 100% complete and that generally the detail fitting bags are intact. If they are not intact, then I rehabilitate, re-bag, and will indicate specifically if a kit had an issue. I do not count every stick of wood but I do try to provide enough photos and context for the buyer to assess the value they’re obtaining. All the boxes are carefully re-packaged and securely taped. That said, I'm only attempting to sell kits that are in very presentable condition. The pricing has been derived from a review of pricing on eBay for similar used kits and are being offered a reduced pricing to motivate a sale. Happy to discuss any interest, my goal would be that you’re happy with the transaction!
The prices offered do not include shipping, which will have to be assessed separately. Generally, US Parcel Post tends to run between $20-$30. Shipping will be from 08053 and I am happy to accept Venmo or Zelle. I am attending the New London Conference in late April and if you’re attending, I’m happy to complete the transaction there. This thread will be updated as kits are sold, so if its listed, it's available. Thanks for looking!
I’ll be posting specific sale profiles over the next day or so but in summary, the kits include:
1/64 Sergal HMS Victory $2001/50 Corel HMS Resolution $100
1/47 Sergal Race Horse Bomb Vessel $100
1/50 Maquettes Gerard Schmitt Prince De Neufchatel $100
1/16 Mantua Panart Lancia Baleniera Whaleboat $1001/100 Mamoli L’orenque $2001/60 Sergal HMS Bounty $120
1/47 Panart Royal Caroline $200

Hi,
Congrats on the purchase! Just curious, do you have any machining background? If not, do you have a strategy for teaching yourself? I ask because I own a lathe but have little experience.Joshua

Hi Drew, welcome to Model Ship World! This is a great community and very active forum. I'd like to also offer if you're interested in some in person comradery with ship modeling, the Philadelphia Ship Model Society meets at 1pm on the third Sunday of the month at the Coast Guard Station. Happy to fill you in on any details if you're interested, just send me a message. Good luck on your Lightening build!

Check out this video discussion on making sails by NRG Director, Ron Neilson.

Little late to the game but your planking is top notch!

Well, were you planning on copper plating her? that'd cover up any kind of rough patch work right smartly. I'll be re-joining the PDN building event early 2024 as I wrap up the Mogami - mine's been languishing on the shelf for 7 years! We may be in tandem then!

I don't know how you're supposed to be able to sand those Shipways blocks into something passable?

Ha.. Rigging is my fav. part! Looking good!

Thanks! The Mogami has been keeping me busy but I've been itching to get back into the wood. I have all the deck furniture assembled and prepared, just need to apply to the model. Did your kit come with those carronade sleds? Mine came with brass guns that looked over scale to be placed on gun trucks. I casted new gun in resin and scratch built some sleds out of wood. I don't know.. talking about it makes me want to dig into this weekend!

Taping off this funnel was interesting, I attempted it with blue painters tape and it was going horribly. The blue tape is what happened below where the zenithal highlighting overshot on to the brown linoleum decking. Of course, I taped it off and reshot that section! No.. I really did though, this time with Tamiya tape. But with the smokestack, the Tamiya tape was light enough to hang onto the small surface area of the funnel. Here’s the ship’s currently most assembled-so-far status. I’m going to have to work out painting those turret bases. Not sure how I missed painting those yet and then I was hoping the turrets would mostly cover them. They’ll have to be carefully brush painted now!

Pretty neat ship model company - I love Civil War era ships! Was hoping for a Choctaw!
