Jim Rogers Posted October 24, 2017 Share #241 Posted October 24, 2017 I go back to my Technical side, if you call it out in the procedure, put it in the box. Builders will want it and having it as an add on upgrade will only add time to the build and possible frustration on the builders part if they want it and you are out of stock. I would just up the price and sell it as a complete kit. coxswain, Nirvana, mtaylor and 4 others 7 Quote Regards, Jim Rogers Damn the Torpedoes , Full speed ahead. Adm David Farragut.

Blue Ensign Posted October 24, 2017 Share #242 Posted October 24, 2017 I agree with the comments above, as an overseas customer I would prefer to have the complete set rather than have to order them separately at a later date.

Chuck Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share #243 Posted December 25, 2017 Just an update....Hoping to have a bunch of barge kits available in about one week to ten days. In addition, the entire 3 part assembly guide is now complete and you can download it from my website. https://www.syrenshipmodelcompany.com/royal-barge-kit.php Unfortunately for the time being, the accessory sets for those NOT wishing to carve those seven decorations will not be in stock for few more weeks. I just need a bit more time to prepare and make the molds for these seven additional decorative carvings. and cast them So if you really want to order everything at the same time, you will need to wait until the accessory sets are ready. I am working overtime to get everything ready as soon as possible. But while you wait, please do read through the instructions and dont hesitate to ask me any questions.....and Merry Christmas.....and have a very happy New Year.

Chuck Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share #246 Posted January 3, 2018 Just wanted to give you guys an update. I actually have 12 barge kits all made.......that is all except for the castings. These take such a long time to do by hand. I was all set to start casting them when out of the blue one of the companies I had contacted got back to me. I had contacted dozens of firms to outsource the resin casting for the kits but most would not take such a small job. But this year is already looking up!!! One such company has decided to cast my pieces and I am very excited about that. This is a huge development for me, I would hardly be able to spend time developing new stuff if it took so much labor to make every part on my own. I just couldnt handle doing this work manually. As wonderful as the news is, it means that these 12 barge kits will be just a bit longer before I can offer them for sale. I am sending the masters down to these folks and they promise a quick turn-around. As soon as these guys deliver the castings I can release these kits and make many more so much quicker now. It took me 3 or 4 days to cast all the parts for six kits by myself. It just wasnt doable. And these guys are professionals who do this all the time. They cast and design resin figures. So these parts should be great and better than anything I could make. Sorry for the continued delay but I want everything in these barge kits to be just perfect.

Chuck Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share #265 Posted January 11, 2018 Just wanted to post this image of the SanDiego club. They have a group of 13 building the barge. Dont they look like they are having lots of fun. Anyway....things are moving along. Trying to restock blocks and rope now. As soon as more Cherry and the new castings arrive I will start cutting more kits. I hope they dont mind me sharing one of these photos.
