AgesOfSail Posted July 17 #1 Posted July 17 (edited) Hello Everyone, hope you're Summer is going well. Got some very good news today! After many months of delays, we've finally gotten our Caldercraft shipment in and we FINALLY have Caldercraft HMS Victory kits in stock and ready to ship. This is very exciting for us, as it's been painful having this kit marked out of stock for so many long months. HMS Cruiser kits are also back in stock, as well as HM Schooner Pickle, and a variety of Caldercraft's RC kits, cut as the Joffre, North Light, Imara, and others. For those who live in the U.S., be sure to take advantage of our offer of FREE SHIPPING on orders of $150 or more. Just select the option when it appears at checkout. Anyway, it's nice to be here on this great forum to make these announcements. We'll post more soon. Thank you all for your support!

catopower Posted July 17 #2 Posted July 17 Never built a Caldercraft kit before, but I've always eyed the mortar vessel HMS Convulsion. Love the name! Started an HMS Victory, but sorry to say it wasn't the Caldercraft kit. Spent a LOT of time trying to upgrading everything and just couldn't get to the end of the project. I know it's not the first of my projects that ended up that way, but I always thought I would have had a much better time of it had I started with the Caldercraft kit. Maybe someday. But, not too far away – I'm not getting any younger!

AgesOfSail Posted July 24 Author #3 Posted July 24 Don't know if everyone here on MSW realizes that Ages of Sail is the US distributor for Chris Watton's excellent Vanguard Models line of kits. We work closely with Chris to try to give his product line a wider reach through our own marketing and customer order support. Currently, we've run out of stock of the newest kits, HM Gun Brig Adder and HM Armed Cutter Sherbourne, but we put in our order for more, and we should have them in our warehouse again shortly, along with the Erycina and Duchess of Kingston! As if you didn't already know about them. WHGreca, mtaylor, JeffT and 8 others 11
AgesOfSail Posted August 11 Author #4 Posted August 11 Our Vanguard Models shipment came in this week and we now have the new HM Gun Brig Adder and HM Armed Cutter Sherbourne kits back in stock. With the popularity of the Vanguard Models kits, it's hard to keep them in stock. Looks like we're going to have to put in larger orders with Chris and maintain larger stocks as these kits sell fast. We're already out of the Rangers, Zulu "Lady Isabella", and Speedy kits again! Please let us know if there's anything specific you're waiting for us to stock. mtaylor, GrandpaPhil, Canute and 3 others 6

AgesOfSail Posted September 6 Author #6 Posted September 6 Last minute reminder that our Labor Day Sale ends tomorrow night, that's Saturday! You still have time to take 10% off some great stuff including all of Vanguard Models kits, Kolderstok, Amati, Caldercraft, Krick, Deans Marine, OcCre, Artesania Latina, and many others! Still offering free domestic shipping on all order of $100 or more. See my previous post for details. Also, apologies to those looking for some of the Vanguard Models kits. These are very popular kits. We keep running out and our re-ordering process needs some revising! We always have more product on the way. Meanwhile, we're looking at revising our re-ordering process, so this stops happening quite to often. Your patience is truly appreciated! Roger mtaylor, PaddyO and Canute 3
AgesOfSail Posted December 7 Author #7 Posted December 7 (edited) Good News this weekend! We just got in a shipmodel from Vanguard Models, just in time for Christmas! Yes, we ran out of stock on a lot of these kits, but they're all back, though we just ran out of Indefatigable, Grecian, and Adder. We're going to be reordering these from Chris right away, but with the holiday rush, we expect those will take a few weeks to get. https://www.agesofsail.com/ecommerce/vanguard-wooden-ship-model-kits/ship-model-kits.html And, for those who have been waiting for it, the new HMS Victory from Artesania Latina is also now in stock, along with the light set, and figure sets. We also discovered at the last minute from Artesania Latina that the kit needs their new Micro Shaper D tool. Just so there are no problems for the builders, we're simply going to include that with the new kits. Check it out here: https://www.agesofsail.com/ecommerce/hms-victory-artesania-latina-184-scale.html If your in the continental US, remember that for any order of $150 or more, you can choose the free shipping option for USPS Priority Mail.
