jtridexter Posted April 17, 2023 Share #1 Posted April 17, 2023 Hi, I'm new to the forum. Can anyone give me any info on this ship? It has no name or markings on it. Any value? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted April 17, 2023 Share #2 Posted April 17, 2023 I'm 99.9% certain that this is a finished model of Lila Dan from the Billing Boats kit. Because it is a kit model, a civilian vessel rather than a man-of-war, and is not built to a particularly high standard, its monetary value is very low.

glbarlow Posted April 17, 2023 Share #3 Posted April 17, 2023 I doubt you could give it away as is, not a particularly interesting model and not at all well made HardeeHarHar, mtaylor and Gregory 1 2 Quote Regards, Glenn Current Build: HMS Winchelsea Completed Builds: HM Flirt (paused) HM Cutter Cheerful, Lady Nelson, Amati HMS Vanguard, HMS Pegasus, Fair American, HM Granado, HM Pickle, AVS, Pride of Baltimore, Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI Dexter If it is a family heirloom the value to you is what you put on it. If you are thinking about a monetary value you might try a garage sale or post on Ebay or similar site and hope there is someone that likes the look of this vessel and does not remember the quote often attributed to P. T. Barnum. Allan mtaylor 1 Quote PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.

ubjs Posted April 17, 2023 Share #5 Posted April 17, 2023 I think it would be easy to sell the model to someone in northern Europe that knows what Lilla Dan is. https://www.j-l.com/about/ The model is in the old version, the one you could buy now is a modernised later version. I would say 2-300 euro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDDET Posted April 17, 2023 Share #6 Posted April 17, 2023 You have to remember that those who are on this site have a critical eye. The general public wouldn't look at this model the same way. Put it up on Ebay and see where things go. mtaylor, davyboy, Keith Black and 4 others 7 Quote Current build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
