For Sale: Revel Thermopylae, Historic Ship Models (zu Mondfeld), Arts of the Sailor (Smith, Hervey Garrett)

[xodar461]

I have the following items for sale:

 

Revel Thermopylae - this was given as a gift, however I don't do plastic models.  The kit seems to be quite old and the box condition is poor (looks like it was kept in an attic for several years, maybe decades).  I think all the pieces are present but there is no way to be sure.  Very few came off the sprues and these I placed in a ziplock bag;  the condition of the pieces seems to be good.  The paper instructions are on the brittle side but not to the point of falling apart.  Here are some pics"

 

 

 

 

Price of the kit - free, just pay the postage.  This will probable be pretty expensive to send overseas.  This kit comes as is so if any parts are missing be prepared to manufacture them.  The 2 halves of the hull and ships decks are in good shape

 

next up, 2 books

 

Historic Ship Models by zu Mondfeld.  The book is used and there seems to be a publisher's error as it is missing pages 35-63 (they don't seem to have been pulled out).  I have another copy (which is even more "used" ) so I will be able to supply the missing pages.  Sale price:  $5.00 plus postage

 

The arts of the Sailor by Hervery Garrett Smith.  This is a good reference for all sorts of knots and knot tying techniques.  It is brand new.  Retails for $12 on Amazon.  Sale price:  $5.00 plus postage. 

 

send me a message or post here if interested.  I will need a destination zip code to estimate postage and we can discuss further by PM.

WOW!I received one of the Thermopylae for a Christmas present in 1975. I was 13 and yep, it was way too much for me to chew at that time. Good looking ship! Nice memory

This is one old kit.  The year stamp on the ship's deck in 1959, 2 years older than me!
